I don't think you need all before the interview. The doctor will provide documentation to state that you have received two already and are in the process of being fully immunized. Just make sure to eventually get all three or you will have no immunity to Hepatitis.

Ooops! So sorry- bad habit.

THANKS SO MUCH. I MUST SAY I ADMIRE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY WHILE DEALING WITH THAT HELL CALLED USCIS. BELIEVE ME, I HOPE I CAN FIND THE STRENGTH OF CHARACTER TO DO IT. RIGHT NOW, DH AND I ARE MENTALLY PREPARING OURSELVES FOR THE PROSPECT OF BEING APART FOR AT LEAST A YR (SMILE PON ME, JESUS- DO, NUH MEK IT TEK LONGA DAN DAT) AND HE IS TAKING IT MUCH BETTER THAN I.USUALLY, I AM THE CALM, RATIONAL ONE AND HE FREAKS OUT IF THINGS DON'T GO ACCORDING TO PLAN (USUALLY HIS PLAN ) BUT NOW- I AM THE ONE WHO SEEMS TO BE WORRIED. HIS OPINION IS "WE DUN MARRIED AND WE DUN LOVE ONE ANODDA SO NUHBADDY CAAN STOP DAT AN' IF WE HAVE TO BE APART FOR A WHILE IT NUH CHANGE NUTTEN" (DIRECT QUOTE). NOW, AM I BEING NAIVE TO DISAGREE OR IS HE RIGHT?

Welcome KC...do mind if I ask why you are leaving the US? I thought you could stay while your case is pending if you are already here. Sanity comes from the relationships and understanding here on VJ in the yardie thread. When we all loose a little bit of faith...and look down from the prize...there is always somewhere here to push your chin up and remind you that God didn't bring you this far to leave you.

You will be okay...just trust in God to order each of your steps.

THE VISA I CAME HERE ON (J-1) HAS A STIPULATION THAT REQUIRES ME TO GO BACK TO JAMAICA FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE I CAN APPLY FOR CERTAIN VISAS INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY IMMIGRANT VISAS OR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. I HAVE APPLIED FOR A WAIVER ON THE BASIS OF A NO OBJECTION LETTER FROM THE JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT- WHICH BASICALLY SAYS THEY DON'T CARE IF I DECIDE NOT TO RETURN TO JAMAICA, AND SINCE I AM WELL AWARE OF THE SNAIL SPEED AT WHICH JAMAICAN BUREAUCRACY MOVES,I EXPECT IT WILL TAKE THE FULL FOUR MONTHS TO GET THE LETTER THEY TOLD ME. IN ADDITION TO THE 2-3 MONTHS THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE NEEDS TO PROCESS THE APPLICATION (AND DO THE FBI NAME CHECK-WHICH SEEMS TO TAKE FOREVER ). SO, SINCE I AM NOT ABLE TO APPLY TO ADJUST STATUS AND ME BEING HERE ILLEGALLY IS THE LAST THING WE WANT TO HAPPEN, IF PUSH COME TO SHOVE I'M GOING BACK TO JAMAICA AND DH WILL APPLY THE CR-1/IR-1 WAY. A GOOD TING ME NEVER FLING NUH STONE BACKA MI,LOL.

THANKS FOR THE WELCOME.

I'LL TAKE THAT BACK. I CHECKED ON ANOTHER PC AND IT SAYS JULY 15TH AND THE CURRENT DATE FOR I-130 IS SEPTEMBER 3, 2007. VERMONT SEEMS TO BE MORE PREOCCUPIED WITH HB AND OTHER WORK VISAS THAN WITH REUNITING FAMILIES. I GUESS THE MACHINERY OF CAPITALISM AND THE BIG BUCKS OF ALL THOSE LARGE COMPANIES HAVE MORE CLOUT.

IT'S STILL SAYING JUNE 15TH FOR ME-AT 6:38 P.M. (EASTERN TIME)

please add me,too.

HEY EVERYONE- I'M NEW TO VJ BUT SO FAR, ITS BEEN REALLY INSIGHTFUL. BEING ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE MAKES THIS WHOLE PROCESS SEEM LESS DAUNTING. EVEN THOUGH THE THOUGHT OF BEING AWAY FROM MY HUNNY MAKES ME SICK- SERIOUSLY, IT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT AND WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE SAME COUNTRY- AT LEAST TIL NOVEMBER WHEN I HAVE TO GO BACK TO JAMAICA. THE THOUGHT GIVES ME HEART PALPITATIONS,LOL. ANYWAY, YOU GUYS SEEM LIKE A GOOD SUPPORT NETWORK FOR EACH OTHER AND I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE BEING A PART OF IT. ANY POINTERS ON HOW TO COPE WITH USCIS AND THE IMPENDING SEPARATION WILL EXTREMELY WELCOME.

HEY EVERYONE- I'VE BEEN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS FOR ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING A NO OBJECTION LETTER FROM THE JAMAICAN GOVERNMENT FOR THE J-1 VISA. I'M CURRENTLY IN FLORIDA DOING AN INTERNSHIP WHICH ENDS IN NOVEMBER. I MARRIED MY SWEETHEART IN MAY AND WE PLAN TO FILE TO ADJUST STATUS OR FOR ME TO GO BACK TO JAMAICA AND DO AN IR-1/CR-1, DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS GO. ANYWAY,LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
