Ok thank u.

My husband is traveling saturday,would they give him any problem at the POE since we didnt pay the 165 fee as yet?

My husband is traveling sarurday,the thing is i havnt pay the $165 fee as yet,would it be a problem at the port of entry?

If they want the original they ask for the originals,if ask for a copy of the documents,send a copy

No u guys are ok,all he need is to print it out or write dwn the ref # and bring it to the interview,good luck on his interview.

Hi there!

I am not familiar with what is currently going on in Jamaica. I am only writing to share with you my experience and to offer you hope. I filed for my husband a couple of months after we got married. We had a 5 year long courtship due to the fact that I was pursuing my bachelor's degree at the time and we were praying to be sure we were right for each other, especially since a child was involved. He wanted a good mother for his son, and I wanted to be sure I could provide that. We met here in the states while he was here on a work visa. After almost 6 months, he went home. This was not his first time in the U.S. on a work visa. He had been traveling back and forth since 5 years prior to meeting me and had always returned home before his visa was expired. During the five years of our courtship, we visited back and forth many times. I would skip Friday classes and spend a 4 day weekend in Jamaica. He found a great job in Jamaica about a year after we met, so he couldn't travel as much as he did before. I am trying to briefly talk about 5 years in a few lines. The bottom line is, we never thought for a second we would experience any challenges during our case. We had courted 5 years, had plenty of pictures to prove it.

USCIS was a breeze. NVC was fine, too. Then our case went to Jamaica. I filed in Nov. of 2010. Our case left USCIS in March of 2011. It left NVC in June 2011. I can only attribute the long wait to our inexperience because I can't remember why it spent over 2 months in NVC. My husband's interview was scheduled for Sept. 12th 2011. I could not get away from work and we didn't even think there could be a problem, so we decided I would wait for him here to celebrate our first year anniversary. He was instead asked all kinds of nonsense questions and given a blue slip for a petitioner interview. I hired a lawyer and subpoenaed my phone records. My husband used to call me at least 10 times a day. we slept with skype on. I could hear him breath just as if he were lying next to me. I had my petitioner interview on Nov. 21, 2013. They called when we got home for us to return on Nov. 23, 2013 and to bring more proof. We had 250 pages of phone records with my husband's number highlighted. His number covered 99.9% of all 250 pages (no exaggeration). We printed our skype records. Conversations that should be private between husband and wife, dirty talks, our biggest argument so far was on skype. we wrote back and forth that night because we were both too angry to actually talk. We took my husband's life insurance of which I am the beneficiary. We took almost nude pictures I had send to my husband. They had dates on them. In short, we took everything we had. It was embarrassing. We were interviewed separately and then together. Afterwards, the lady said we were good and they had more evidence than they needed. Still no visa. They will be in touch, they said.

I had no one. My parents had disowned me because I married a Jamaican man who had a child out of wedlock even though he was Christian. My siblings were not allowed to contact me. I told no friends about our case to protect my husband from unnecessary speculations. I was alone and lonely. So we decided to forget, or try to forget about it and live our lives. I changed my status at work to PRN so I could travel whenever I wanted and stay there longer. Every 3 months I was in Jamaica for a month to 6 weeks. In September 2012, we were in Ochio Rios for our anniversary when we got a call from the Embassy for my husband to go for another medical because it had long expired. We got the medical and we were approved. I cannot remember when we picked up his visa but I was still in Jamaica so it was probably the beginning of August 2012. I returned home to prepare for husband's arrival and he arrived Nov. 1, 2012.

Our case spent almost a year in Jamaica. our case went from Nov. 2010 to August 2012. That is almost 2 years. It is hard to know that someone else gets to decide whether you and your loved one can be together. I wanted to encourage you that, if your relationship is solid, you can survive this. Eventually, it will work out. My husband is now here working for the same company he worked for in Jamaica. They have a branch here in Texas.

This process strengthened our marriage. I pray the same happens to yours while you wait.

Sorry for the long comment. :-)

Blessings!

thanks for your response, wow am happy that your husband is with you now, and hopefully my hubby will be here soon, my birthday is in three weeks and its a very special one, it fall on mothers day this yr!!!!! am praying and hoping he gets to be here

is it ONLY you and your husband? or you have some child/s? for two people you just need to make 125% poverty guidelines ($19,387)

so if you knew you made more than enough for 2 why did u add a co-sponsor?

Two in my house nw jst me n my daughter,my husband and his daughter am sponsoring so its 4 in total

Thats the same way i feel,i made a appointment for my husband to bring in the copy of what they ask for bcz i already mail the originals,he get an appointment for next tuesday so am hoping he will get some answers!! Am just tired!!!

good day vj members, as any one on here having problem with the us embassy in jamaica? my husband did his interview on march 25 2013,he was given a white piece of paper to get a joint sponser,he return with the documents on april 2nd then he was told that he needed to get info on the joint sponser spouse, i snd the documents the nxt day via fedex, i recieved confirmation frm fedex that the documents was sign for at the embassy on the 4th of april. i keep emailing the embassy and all they can say is that when ever they recieve the documents in that department they will contact my husband, we still havnt heard anything!! can anyone tell me what to do?

are u trying to adjust his status? or your husband still in his country waiting for VISA approval? if that's the case you post in the wrong forum.

but anyhow, you got your answer from the embassy, you guys still need to be patience and wait.

also, (not that i'm judging u guys) why did u let your spouse attend the interview if he or u knows he still missing some documents? or short from the poverty guidelines. just like a saying he went to a war with a gun without a bullet.

anyhow mistakes has been made..for right now just pray that things will be better for u guys. goodluck!!!

I did check the poverty guidelines and it was more than enough , I make 30,000 n my mom make 45,000. so I was shocked when they told him we need to get a joint sponser.my husband is still in jamaica

Hello,

I have noticed that the instructions given to find the list of approved doctors for Kingston (KNG) Jamaica is not listed.

This is the instruction given:

Go to: www. immigrantvisas.state.gov

Then click on: Prepare for your visa interview abroad

Click on: Prepare for the Medical Examination

Then I selected KNG from the drop down list and click on Medical Examination

The document does not list the approved doctor this was last updated 2/2013. I have opened a few other countries and I see a list of their approved doctors.

Also, the same document is located here:

www. immigrantvisas.state.gov

Review the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General-specific Interview Guidelines

Click U.S. Embassy/Consulate-specific information.

I selected KNG and it’s the same document as the one mentioned above.

I think the document was uploaded in error under the medical link. I am aware of the physicians we use only because last year I did download the document and saved it in my documents, so I referred back to it and call the closet doctor to confirm they are still approved and scheduled my appointment right away.

If I am looking in the wrong place for the information please let me know!
