According to my husband it all went much easier than he anticipated. He waled in and was told to give documents to window A (his passport and such), then waiting again, window B ds-230 1&2,marriage cert, and birth certs. Waited went to Window C for actual interview. He said the lady was quite nice, and she asked a couple of questions typical nothing out of whats necessary. She flipped almost all the way thru our wedding album and commented that pics were nice.And then she gave him the pink slip and told him to go across the street to airpak, he paid just under $500JA and then he was on his way. He got in about 9:30 and he was out before 12noon. She didn't even ask for my 2006 taxes nothing is his binder, no cards, letters, nothing. But better be prepared than not.

compared to other stories i've heard from consulates in other countries jamaica wasn't that bad, in fact in terms of the time it took for them to process the case it was impressive for such a bureacratic organization. I had never been to the embassy before, so I expected to sit down at a desk with someone interviewing us as that is what it's called. However, they just moved the embassy it was very new, clean, and the air conditioning was blasting. It was setup like a bank where you talk with someone through a window making it very impersonal and your business open to everyone. The employees seemed tired and unenthused to have to deal with people but tehn again we were not fully prepared (no medical, police record, or impedient to marriage doc) so I was thankful that they didn't just flat out deny us. So overall not the best but certainly not the worst

We had a 12:15pm appoinment May 3rd.
We got there at 11:15pm
They started to line us up outside the doors at 11:30 for 11:30am-12:30pm appoitments.
We went threw the metal detector at the Embassy. The American guy infront of me held up his line cause he brought his cell phone in and we all told him he couldn't but he didn't believe us. So he had to go back outside and give his phone to a person who keeps it in a plastic bag and gives you a number. The lady commented on my binder as I entered It weighed at least 5 pounds. The security gaurd was like your preparied this should be easy for you guys. I hope because we have been together for about a decade.
We then walk through the court yard and enter another door. This is were my husband pulls out his DS230 one form and signs it and his four passport photos. He gets a pink slip where he puts his passport number on the back of it and the front on the line.

the interview was very simple. The interviewer asked my husband when he met me, how we kept in contact and he asked for pictures of our marriage. We only had trouble because i didn't provide a copy of my 1040 or we would have gotten his visa on that day, but he went back later and he got through. our biggest argument was what he should wear, which was not a big deal. The people were for the most part nice, there was one lady at the first window who was very abrupt but other than that, things were okay. Just make sure you have all your information and everything will be okay.
I don't really think i had to be there, they didn't ask to see me or anything, and the only time i said something was when the interviewer told my husband that my income for last year was too low and i jumped up as was like "look at this year!! i supplied the w2s!!" and thats the only time he talked to me, but other than that everything was fine.

There is now a new embassy in Kingston. It is nice and Airpak express is right in front of it. It seems like it no longer take walk ups only appointments. There is also no long line anymore. My wifes appointment was at 12:30 and we got there at 12:30 and went straight in. You dont have to join any line. You go up to the door and tell them your interview time. However you will not be able to go in any earlier than 30 minutes before your interview time. I tell you this because we got there at 830 and had to leave and come back at 12:30. After you get in you join one line to go to prescreening which is only to verify you have all your documents. Expect to wait 30 minutes to an hour. Have all of your documents. After section A you go to section B for another preliminary screening where you need to have the Marriage Certificate and Beneficiary's birth certificate. Expect to wait 10 minutes. Then last is section C. Final interview. All interviews are conducted right there in front of you. No... read complete review
