berry and bird

Hello my fellow March VJ filers. After all the stress and headaches Ive endured during this journey, I finally got some good news. Berry and I were approved today. After compulsively checking the USCIS website, I checked one last time after having lunch. The site stated I was in Post Decision activity. I exit out of the site and went back again. Surprisingly it said it again. APPROVED!!!!! I couldnt believe my eyes. While in the middle of teaching summer school and having to contain my emotions, I had a teacher step in my room for a few minutes to call Berry. I was crying and he was just as happy as ever. God is good everytime!!! My VJ timeline stated, July 13th -July 30th. I beat them by one week. SO now, work to do, getting my job letter and taxes together. I will be in Jamaica in exactly 30 days, but doubt he will have his interview before then (Im hoping he does, maybe I should braiding my hair some more)? I will bring all the necessary paperwork he needs when I go. Thamks to everyone that's been there for me through the bitching amnd complaining (Carolina - who got approved today also!!!) and Nema. I will continue to pray for the my March filers that you will all be approved by the end of this week. You guys are all awesome

Well.....hmmm the first thing I plan to do when he gets here is......I plan to be in jamaica so we can fly to the states together. I plan for us to check-in together at the airport, go through security together and board our plane to JFK together. When we get off the flight together, my family will be at the airport waiting for us. When we finally arrive home, unpacking his belongings, making room in the closet and dresser for his clothes. Once we've unpacked we will freshen up and go out on the town. I plan to take him to Manhattan for a mini tour, expose him to the New York life, which can be a culture shock to anyone. Once we get back to Queens, the kids will be in bed and that when the fun time begins. . There's so many things I want to expose him to, I know our dream of him being in the states will be sooner than later.

My story is long and bittersweet. MY grandmother died on my birthday and I went to Jamaica with my mother and sister for the funeral. I havent visited Jamaica since 2001 and this was 2005, so the family was very happy to see us, considering the purpose of the visit. The night before the service my cousin took me to the Asylum a club in New Kingston. As we were walking to an area in the club where his friends were standing, my eyes met with this fine, tall man. My cousin introduced me to him. He was a friend of my cousin and knew my grandmother well. We talked the night away, and even though the music was loud, we didnt hear anything but our voices. We parted ways knowing that we would see each other the following day at the funeral. I forgot to mention that I was married with 2 children, ages 2 and 14. My husband and I were having serious marital issues and was unfortunately staying together solely for the kids.
Back to better part of the story, Sean and I saw each other at the funeral. This time he was more handsome than the night before. He was clean shaved and had a suit on. We were talking outside the church before the service began and a transformer box exploded on the street. I was so frightened, I jumped into his arms. We both laugh about that to this day. I returned to the states, thinking I lost all communication with him. We didnt exchange numbers, and I just assumed it was just some flirting going on and time to get back to reality. One day while I was at work my cousin in Jamaica called me from a strange number. He told me he was using "sean's" phone. He asked if I wanted to say hi, we spoke and the rest is history. I went to Jamaica with the kids for a summer vacation. Sean and I hung out with out children the entire time, getting to know each other. I was in Jamaica for thanksgiving and February the following and 2-3 times a year after that. We got engaged on August 2, 2010 and was still waiting for my divorce (my husband refused to sign the divorce papers, even after I moved out the state with the kids and moved on with my life). I was officially divorced October 21, 2010 and filed our I-129F March, 2011. I know my story is long and detailed but this was a portion of what I submitted with my application. My answer to question 18 on the application was 5 pages. I had to detail 6 years of our love story.

Guilty as charged. I check twice a day, hoping a fast paced adjudicator grabs my packet see that my berry and i been together for 6 yrs and aporove us. Wishful thinking, i know we all can agree to that. God will bless us when its the right time. Good luck to everyone. March filers hang in there
