Thank you so much for your reply. I think that's a great idea about the useful needs in a piece of paper. I will write them tomorrow and email it to her. And yes I think that's what the gate pass is. Not sure if they allow it in JFK tho. The lady on the phone from JetBlue td me it's up to the airport. And JFK being in NY, I won't get my hopes up. Tanx again IRIScv

You can write her in a paper useful questions in English she could use to ask help around!! She can always point the paper "where is baggage claim" "where is...."

First times I came visit my boyfriend to the states when we were dating years ago my English was very limited and he used to write directions and things like that for me to follow that would make me feel a bit better.

Is a gate pass the thing that allows you get inside the aiport without a ticket?? My husband would get those too when I was leaving to he would wait with me until I got in the airplane..

Hey VJ family my mom is coming to the state on the 26th. She is traveling from Haiti. She does not speak any English. JetBlue just sent me an email about a Gate pass. Any one of you's here ever heard of that? Getting a bit nervous about her arrival and not knowing what to do at the airport. Any ideas? Appreciate all your help.

How much was it

Hey VJ friends

On Usteaveldocs website does it get updated when the passport is ready? And where does it say that on the page? It's frustrating that it doesn't even tell me that my mom passport is valid! Just a mess!

You really are a sweetheart! Thank you so much for all your help through this. Hopefully all works out soon. How is it going with your fiancée? Is he in the US yet?

Ok so my mom just got her visa issued on CEAC. My question is what do I do now on traveldocs? I registered and still have no clue.

Oh yea! The battle of Vertieres! Lol I used to live close by this town. Just realize it was November 18th.

Yup. That's all we can do. What was the Haitian holiday?

Oh wow that's crazy. So it's says it's ISSUED and no visa yet? How long it's been now?

Good luck with your journey! I am also at the end with my mom process. She had her interview. Was approved but now she is on AP. hopefully she will have visa in hand soon!

Were your status ever on AP after the interview

Yes I did. I was able to register on the site last night. So how long did u had to wait for ur status to be ISSUED?

Oh and I tried to call the number but they put me on hold for 20 minutes and then they just hung the phone on me. Very frustrated to say the least.

Thank you very much. Very much appreciate it. I am going to try calling the number. They really should just go back to the old way. Smh.

Hey VJ family

If you approved for the visa, how long you have to wait to register on ustraveldocs? It appears they won't let me register my mom stating her bar is wrong and invalid passport. She was approved yesterday. Is it something I am doing wrong?

Name I meant to write. Not bar.

His interview went really smoothly. It was scheduled for 7 am and he said there wasn't anyone in line at 6 am and he got in line at 6:30 and that he was able to get into the embassy. He said everyone was really nice that he spoke to. Good luck on Wednesday! I hope it goes awesome for your mom!!!

Thanks! She have all her papers so I hope it goes well. Now how long they told him to wait till he can pick up the visa? And did you hear about a fee to pay the Haitian government?

I hope you've gotten an answer by now. If you haven't, this is the best I've got... I honestly don't know anything about the process you're going through specifically. But my fiance had his interview on Thursday and didn't need any extra money at the interview.

Thank you for your answer. You are right. Her interview is wed. How did it go for him?

Hey VJ family,

Any of you out there know if my mom will need any more money when she goes to her interview next week? I read that it's free now for the visa pick up. I know we have to pay the 165 after she receives the visa. Please Any clarification will be welcome. Tanx again guys.

Thank you all! Very kind of you all for the warm welcome!

Shouldn't be worry. What God have started he will finish!! Congrats! Please let us know when visa in hands. It's a long road and it makes me happy to see others succeed with this process.

Hi Nursejennyc,

Again as Ian stated, my mom has not been called yet so she does not have the visa in hand at this moment, therefore can't pay for the fee. I guess to pay for the fee, they may request some sort of information that are probably only on the issued visa.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I really thought that by yesterday (Monday 10/20/14) she would have been called. Since Friday, it's clearly stated on ceac.state.gov that the visa was printed, and then my mom would be called to pick up her visa any time according to the local consulate procedure; but so far no call, and that makes me a little bit anxious, lol.

I will keep you guys posted as soon as she is all set. That way I will answer to all the questions at once about her interview experience in Ivory Coast and anything else.

Good luck again to all of those whose relatives are still in the process. Sorry also for the delay after the first post, busy at work.

Oh thank you so much Ian. You are the best. U must be a lawyer or some sort. Glad to have ur help. God bless

Can I pay online?

Oh ok I see. Thanks for the reply. So she have to have it on November 12th or later on?

Good luck! My mom is November 12th
