Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies a home and a farrin, Part 24!	I thought I was the only one to fall asleep and wake up in the wee hours searching for food LMAO - nope, it's the norm with us - Usually cause we have gone back and laid down to nap or before dinner - next thing you know it's 3 am It just now hit me that he's coming today and I'm so nervous. Like a little child waiting to see their daddy. I said to him this morning what's the first thing he's going to do when he sees me, he goes "give you your catch (chocolate) so you can get off my back!" lol Aw, so happy for you!	sus	Female	Jamaica	2010-03-03 07:47:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies a home and a farrin, Part 24!	Ok so now we must had Secrets Jamaica USa to our travel list. I'm sure some yardies live close by so it could double as a link up. I say do the AI. I love that I can eat and DRINK as much as I want and don't have to pay anything. It's a nice place for sure so I say if they have good rates do it up, just be sure to pack walking shoes. I never made it to their beach so I have no idea about that part of it. Seacrets is a blast - Here is a daytime video: Y5_eyqABBow And here are my friends on the beach side at night: M0LVE1dO9Vc I love the convenience of the AI too - I never used to, but lately, especially with how busy my life is here, I really like the ability to not think and have food, alcohol, etc... readily available - DJ and I are really bad most trips, and will end up falling asleep / not thinking about food then it's 3 am and the only thing we can find is Burger King or cow foot soup on the road I lose weight every trip, lol - I have seen several really good rates for different AIs - Still have plenty of time, I am just thinking about it now - It's a long trip, so I am thinking that half of it at an AI would be a nice way to unwind after my semester ends.	sus	Female	Jamaica	2010-03-03 05:39:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Jamaican Food!!	Jerk baby back ribs on the grill or oven. For 4 servings - 1 kg (2 lb.) Pork back ribs For the jerk seasoning * 1 onion, finely chopped * cup finely chopped scallion * 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 teaspoons sugar * 1 teaspoon ground Jamaican pimento (allspice) * teaspoon ground nutmeg * teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1 hot pepper, finely ground * 1 teaspoon ground black pepper * 3 tablespoons soy sauce * 1 tablespoon cooking oil * 1 tablespoon cider or white vinegar Method: Mix together all the ingredients. A food processor fitted with a steel blade is ideal for chopping and combining. The flavor of the jerk marinade may strike you as a little harsh when you first mix it, but I assure you, the flavors will all blend and mellow as the meat cooks. To increase the heat of this rather mild marinade, add hot pepper sauce. If you want less heat, remove the seeds and membranes containing the seeds from the peppers before grinding them. Rub the jerk sauce that you just created over the ribs and let it sit for a couple hrs if you can. It will enhance the flavors of the meat as it gets time to really penetrate the meat. Grill ribs over indirect heat in covered grill, turning occasionally, until ribs are very tender, about 1 1/2 hours (or roast ribs on rack in shallow pan in 180°C. (350° F.) for 1 1/2 hours). Cut into 1- or 2-rib portions to serve.	sus	Female	Jamaica	2010-05-18 09:14:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	WEST KINGSTON JAMAICA BLOOD SHED!!!!!!	Hey Malbarb, I doubt it will have any effect everything going to go good on your day. Hey lifejourney, which part is not true. fill me in There is not bloodshed occuring - I get Lifejourney's point, the heading of your topic seems like there is major chaos going on - Yes, there is the potential, but everyone is praying that it will not amount to that. People are starting widespread panic by making false statements or spreading rumors - Classic example - businesses in Kingston were boarding up windows yesterday as a precaution - Some fool was running down the street screaming that a hurricane was coming. (he obviously missed the correct news). MLBarb, I wouldn't worry about this affecting the visa - However, if your interview is soon, I would be sure to stay in the safer areas, be aware of your surroundings, and alert to potential issues - steer clear of protests if you encounter them.	sus	Female	Jamaica	2010-05-18 09:07:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Bienestar Familiar or go with a lawyer	She will have to start a process asking for full custody since the father is not gonna sing any document for reason you mention. this will be easy but she has to follow the laws and procedures. I will suggest you to hire a layer. Good Luck. She was never married but the guy was never in his son's life. I talked to her and a lawyer told her that he thinks the case will not be compilicated because the father has never been there. He will not sign any document because he is on the run from the police. He commited a crime against a minor.	cristina1977	Female	Colombia	2010-03-04 13:44:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Bienestar Familiar or go with a lawyer	Getting full custody for your fiance's son could be a long process or not. If her exhusband or her son's father is agree, they only have to go to Bienestar Familiar and give to her the custody. Is her son living with her?? he will also have to sign an authorization for the kid to get out of the country, in other case she will have to start a legal process in Colombia, proving that her kid is going to have a better life in the states. Hi, I need for my fiance to get papers showing full custody for her son. She told me about bienestar familiar. I heard it can take up 6 months or longer to get the custody papers. Is there attorneys in Colombia that can do it much faster? She talked to 1 attorney he said he can get it done in 10 months Another attorney says 6 months. But that's the same amount of time it takes without using a lawyer.	cristina1977	Female	Colombia	2010-02-20 11:02:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Anybody know about having to register a divorce in Colombia?	Here is the situation, two natural born Colombians get married in Colombia, but shortly after move to Venezuela to get jobs, this was in 1980. Marriage does not work out, the husband returns to Colombia in 1997. The wife applies for a divorce and her attorney recommends since the assets of this marriage are in Venezuela and their marriage was already registered in Venezuela, the divorce is handled in the courts of Venezuela. Power of attorneys had to be hired to represent the husband living in Colombia, the divorce is finalized. As the wife is also a natural born citizen of Colombia with her family living there, she likes to return to Colombia, the wife is currently a citizen of the USA. The USA and the USCIS does recognized the Venezuela divorce, the wife marries a USC. Venezuela recognizes the divorce and the marriage in the USA, and the marriage is registered in Venezuela. But what about Colombia? The attorney that handled the divorce in Venezuela, left Venezuela, so contact with her is impossible. Impossible to find anything on the web on this subject about Colombian law. But been told different stories, one is that Colombia does recognize the divorce, but it was to be registered in Colombia, we don't know if this was done or not as the former husband was living in Colombia at the time. Another story I got, is that Colombia does not recognize the divorce, and the wife as far as Colombia is concerned, is a bigamist. These are from attorneys in Colombia that represent themselves as attorneys on the internet that one doesn't know from Adam, could be crooks, but both are asking for US bucks. Anybody here go through this? Basically, you got married in Colombia, but got a divorce in another country. What steps have to be taken to correct this, if there is even a problem? How does one find out if a divorce was registered in Colombia? Thank you for any honest replies.	cristina1977	Female	Colombia	2010-03-15 21:01:00
