Hi Stacey Ann

Thanks again for the heads up. The kids did their medical and the doc said they passed their evaluation. He also said that i was very smart to have gotten all outstanding vaccines before coming to Andrews. Girl, let me tell you that if i didn't go to this place in Kingston I probably would have to travel with $100000 for all 3 just forvaccines alone. They had boosters that were outstanding plus the pnuemococcal and varicella and TDAP that are not government regulated that embassy need us to take in order to travel. The pnuemococcal for kids at Andrews is $14464 each and adults is $3500 to which i cannot understand the price range for both. Wheni took them to the place in Kingston i got the same vaccine for $3500 each. I save a bag of money with just that vaccine alone. The doc said i was smart to make that move. 

Just waiting now for that day.

Why is it so expensive for kids? my parents got some of their vaccine but not pneumococcal will that be $3500?

Hi Shan, sorry for taking so long to respond.  I have been so busy getting ready for my trip.

 

You can go down for the interview and quarantine however, I am not certain that they would allow you entrance at the embassy.  You might have to wait outside until your parents are through.  But it would be nice to go down for moral support and to accompany them up once they are approve.  Safe travel!

Thank you. I did find some information  in my packet 4 it said I can accompany them to their interview I just have to quarantine for 14 days. 

Hi does anyone know if I would be allowed to attend the  interview with my parents I mean if I quarantine for 14 days

Has anyone had the experience of not getting not getting any response to an expedite request? Or do you know if the response time has gotten longer now? Thank you

Interesting. 
That means they’re not too behind on reading emails then. 

 

My brother has been stalking the appointment page for a date for his J1 application. He just got a date for Monday at 9:30am. 
 

I’m feeling bittersweet. 

 

Am speechless.

Well this is what they reply

Did you send the email to the Embassy? And have you gotten back any reply? 

The strangest thing happen with my kids' cases....it's 3 children...and yesterday they updated 2 of the 3. 1 case was not updated...so I'm wondering what's happening!!!???

This is really foolishness with the Embassy.  Why expedite the cases if you're going to have persons waiting almost 2 months.  They need to take a moment and put things in perspective.  The word 'expedite' means to make something happen faster, quicker.  To accomplish something sooner than expected.  But it seems with them, its the other way around.

No communication no updates nothing. am already putting together my email to send them Wednesday. I hope I will hear something positive

I really don't understand why they're holding up your case. The Department of State said that immediate relatives are Tier 2 meaning your visa should be top priority. Make it worse, u expedited the case. So why they having u wait so long? Slackness.

I really don’t know am getting anxiety waiting I keep checking my email 24/7. when I check my dad case it said last update April 26 it give me some hope then but nothing so far

hooray!!! things moving

Nothing new on my end. What about you?

Not a ting I plan to email them again Wednesday if I don’t hear from them, they must be tired  to see my email address, but am also tired of waiting 

Any update🤦🏾‍♀️

Sounds good!   I also notified the Embassy that I have uploaded the documents.  I haven't received a response to neither the uploaded documents or to the email telling them now to provide an interview date. So I am here just waiting.  In your opinion though, when again can I send a reminder to them for the interview date?

You should hear back from them around Monday  they don’t take long to reply back to email. I use to email them every week and get  same the answer so I just leave them to be

Update everyone......my case is now saying 'Ready' in the ceac status.  Also, immediately following the change to ready, I received a email from the Embassy that my kid's case was prescreened and that I needed to resubmit a few financial documents for me and my husband.  So I came home and upload them.

 

Now what??!!!  ..........waiting as usual.... I am wondering if they need anything else.🤷‍♂️

Email them the document too and write them email asking for appointment let them know you have submit the requested documents, I mean that’s what I would do

Hey y'all, tell me something, what is the validity of the Police Record.....is it 6 months or 1 year.  Cause with the Pre-checklist, I know for Jamaica, its 1 year but the checklist is saying 6 months.  So what goes for the Embassy please?

1 year, my parents had to renew theirs and it take a while 

11 minutes ago, RedRose75 said:

Thank you.  Have you heard anything new today with your case?  Any changes

Not a thing  I don’t even want to think about it, trying to put set my mind for May June.

Good morning everyone, I am on my way to work but I linger a little to ask you all this if you have any idea.....apart from the NVC account that we check from time to time, now that the expedited cases are at Kingston, how do we check the status of the account.  Please share if you can.

 

Have a blessed day today you all!

You mon you good, am all over the damn the place trying to get info and understand what’s going on since the embassy is not helping, I see my dad case date was update on April 23 and today so I hope that mean they are working on something

I suppose that means mine will change within a week too. 
 

Red rose, one of the ladies I see complaining on Facebook, her expedite was approved. She says she’s been waiting over a month. Also I notice she’s IR5 and there was a comment where she and another lady was upset that children and spouses seem to be getting priority. 

You might be talking about me lol 😆 I think am the only ir5 in the fb group. 

1 hour ago, RedRose75 said:

Shan, let me ask you something.  What category is your case, and what was the category of the other 3 persons in the fb group, if you can recall.  I am wondering, that although they have expedited the cases, they are still treating the scheduling of the interview dates as per the category.  Meaning, if F2A cases and F3 or F4 cases are expedited the same time, they would give preference to interview those in the IR /CR category rather than treating all the same.....not sure though.......am just guessing based on what you said.

I am a ir5 filing for both parents, the others are cr 1 I think

To say they are not doing interviews is not true....they are doing interviews but very very limited. Why would they expedite the case then...if they didn't plan to schedule an interview. It makes no sense. I believe they are confusing themselves

Am about to contact nvc or the Congressman becuz this really ridiculous my case was expedient with three other person I know on the fb group  and both of them  got their interview date actually they have done your interview. And here am a later
