What ever happend to predictability?

The milk man, the paper boy, evening T.V

You miss your old familar friends, but

waiting just around the bend.

Everywhere you look (everywhere)

There's a heart (there's a heart)

A hand to hold on to.

Everywhere you look (everywhere)

There's a face of somebody who needs you.

When you're lost out there and your all alone

A light is waiting to carry you home

Everywhere you look.

Shanette, congrats on your upcoming nuptials! May God continue blessing you both all the days of your lives

KK....I LOVE the Brady Bunch theme song! :dance:

Here's the story,

Of a lovely lady,

Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.

All of them had hair of gold,

Like their mother,

The youngest one in curls.

Here's the story,

Of a man named Brady,

Who was busy with three boys of his own.

They were four men,

Living all together, but they were all alone-.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,

and they knew they was much more than a hunch.

That this group,

Must somehow form a family.

That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch,

The Brady Bunch- the Brady Bunch

That's the way- we became the Brady Bunch.

When it would come on I would sign it at the top of my lungs :lol:

Hi JamericanQueen!

Welcome to VJ and thanks for joining in on the Yaardie thread!

Your I-130 was approved quick!! I've been reading over in the CR1 Thread about fast approvals so looks like a good thing for all of us CR1 filers!

You don't have to wait for the I-129...you can continue with the CR1 if you'd like.

HERE is the NVC Process flowchart so you can get an idea of what will be going on.

To answer your questions:

1. What is this DS-230 you are all talking about and do I have to download them to give to Kingston embassy

The DS-230 is the actual Immigrant Visa Application. There are 2 parts to it and the first part will need to be signed by your husband. * Right now you will be dealing with the NVC until they complete your case and forward it to the Kingston embassy.

2. What is the fee for the DS-230 (not sure if thats the right form name)

The fee for the Visa is $400. You will need to pay this before you send off the DS-230.

3. Now am I filing for the CR1/IR1? what is this

It is the Spousal Visa. At your husband's point of entry into the US, he will be stamped for the CR1 if you have been married for less than two years or the IR1 if you have been married for more than two years.

4. Call NVC and they dont have any knowledge of my case? how long does it take

You can call the NVC at (603) 334-0700

Take some time to review the CR1 Guides. They are a great help.

Also, there are NVC shortcuts that have been made from VJ members:

- James's Shortcuts: LINK

- Loto's Guide: LINK

- LingChe's Shortcuts: LINK

Some people who have used the shortcuts have gotten through the NVC process in less than a month!!!

Marlita started a helpful Yaardie NVC thread as well. You can find it HERE.

Jump in on any convos you'd like. You're in a great place and everyone is here to help :dance:

I'm sorry to hear Lovesponge (((HUGS))) (F)

Marie i checked Sandals Ochi, and they have some sort of special going on which bring a wedding and a 7 day stay to 2500.00 dollars but hell when i think hotel, will they allow guest on the property or will they charge everyone 85 bucks for an armband.. now the good thing is the all inclusive option but if im correct sandals doesnt allow children so if i wanted my fam there at least 2 or 3 days they wouldnt be able to stay.. i looked at Shaw Park, dont remember what they quoted..im in the process of trying to make spreadsheet

$2500?!?! dem brite!

March 13, 2009

How much more lavish was it, Tre?
$1650 for 10 and $5,000 for 250 sound like a huge jump to me.

JG...Sometimes it depends.... I had a cousin who spent around $4,000 for a wedding for 200 people. Most of the fees came from the villa she rented. The wedding was held on the grounds of the villa. She bought all of the decorations up here and distributed them amongst family that were going so she wouldn't have too much luggage. She borrowed the tables/chairs from church and my grandmother's pastor officiated. My family in Jamaica did all of the cooking and she reimbursed them for the cost of groceries. It was beautiful! So sometimes it depends on the resources you use

Morning everyone! TGIF!!

Honey...I got married at the RGD and it cost $150 which included the license, minister, and location. I had the option of the indoor setting or the outdoor one but I chose indoor. It was decorated beautifully with an lighted arch that had flowers as well as a backdrop. Me, Lance, and some close friends and family went out for lunch afterwards.

It was a nice, small wedding with the people who mean the most to us. Later on down the road we plan on having something a bit more lavish for our renewal of vows.

$1650 doesn't seem too bad considering they're wedding planners so their fee is included in that price.

Have you tried checking with any hotels in Ochi?
