I bought my husband up here Feb 08, thinking what we really had was a marriage. Come to find out that we really didnt. Once he located his family and established relationships he moved a couple states away. What can I do, could i send him back? I discovered that he neither his family care for americans and thought all types of things of me. I feel horrible. I bought him up here, and has supported him since because he still hasnt worked.

D is so used to being on the go, hopping in a cab, working day in and day out, till i think he is going to be in for a BIG shock when he gets here. He is talking about bartending here, im like Babe, bartending isnt going to pay the bills, so you might want to reconsider...LOL



Honey, don't down play bartending, it could lead to him owning the business.

Okay, this is for you ladies in the DC/Maryland/Virgina area.... i just read an article in the paper about some new pedicure being offered with fish. It is offered at Yvonne's hair and nail spa, i believe in Alexandria, Va, where you dip your feet into a tank full of baby carp and they nibble the dead skin off of your feet!!!! UUUGHHHH... there are women quoted in the article as saying " this is the best pedicure i ever had, the little fish kind of tickle"....WTH? i swear there is no limit to the retardedness of americans, if someone can come up with or invent it, there is always someone out there to try it.... sheesh...i need to start working on how to get rich.




I had heard about this a couple of weeks ago. We Americans will try anything.

i always promised i would never make my kids endure those down south old skool doctorings i had to endure. Shoot and we dont even want to talk about the personal things my mom thinks you can do with a little capful of bleach...LOL



Lawny, your pics are pretty....congrats again.



I cant wait until i am able to meet you all, VJ is such a big support, because FINALLY you can talk to someone who understands what your going thru and doesnt look at you like you have two heads.


i know what u mean honey.. my friend is in Nigeria meeting her online boyfriend of about 8 mnths (its funny how many from africa meet online and many of us meet on vacations or are yaadies from bawn)
anyway he proposed and her mother is sooo UPSET with her.. calling her foolish and going all the way over their for some you know what (we think we got it bad, anywhere in africa is at least $2000 airfare!!!) and he is just lying to her anyway.
just spoiled the whole thing, i mean I would tell anyone to be wary cuz of course there is alot of fraud, but there is a way and a time to do everything. I know her mom just wants her to THINK about this but she is an adult and she will have to make her own mistakes. I keep telling her to come on VJ cuz just when all the negativity that people throw at u can make u start second guessing, then u read someone's story and know that it CAN work, its not easy, but it CAN WORK!!!




That is soo true QuANA, i only have a few friends, well hell maybe only one or two, who understand me and D's relationship. The other day me and him had a little argument and i was talking to my friend about it, she is gonna say " how you going to have an argument with someone in Jamaica?" like i havent been telling her for months, that i am involved, she also made reference to our relationship being a " fling", and me and her are close, so that kind of hurts. No matter what people cant and wont understand, what we go thru and they think we are crazy. But the really killing part of her comments is that her boyfriend of 5 years, has been in and out of jail, is missing a tooth in the front and has a crack problem...LOL... i hate to talk bad about her, because when she met him and i have known him for 18 years, he was my Ex's best friend, he was fine, but somehow got caught up in the allure of recreationally getting high and now is Pookie. So if all i have to deal with is a few trips to JA every couple of months until we are together as opposed to D, getting clean, falling off the wagon, going to rehab, stealing ####### out of the house for drugs and loosing more teeth, the more drugs he does, then i will take my Jamaican man anyday.



Here, Here, Go Girl. Love your man and let no one tell you different. I will tell anyone that will listern, I love my husband and no one have the right to diss him, because he is from Jamaica. And to tell me that he only love me for one reason is an insult to who I am. How dare anyone tell me I can't tell if I am being loved for me.

So after the long wait I called customer service yesturday and asked about the letter that I requested!! then he drop the bomb and told me that there's nothing in the computer stating that I requested any thing.....am I crazy??...did I make this up??so anyway I give him the same info that I gave the other guy 2 weeks ago....then he's gonna tell me that I wont receive the letter until 5-7 buisness days

I DONT HAVE 5 OR 7 DAYS...I was trying to control myself it was soo hard!! Im furious at this point because I don't have anything but the checks showing both names and same address Im not sure if that will be enough

Not to pick on you one bit, Wakey, just quoting your post........but, I have something to say about this who going back to renew business.

I know you guys want to go back and celebrate with the family. And, I truly understand why. I was there.

I want to point out a few cons in your planning.......

It will cost you 2 round trip plane tickets. More if you have kids.
It will cost you somewhere to stay if you don't say with family.
It will cost you ALL the costs of how big or small your wedding may be....seriously think about that.
He will either not be working or, if you are lucky, just started a job and may not be allowed the time off.

Visiting him now is expensive. That trip would be very expensive.

Remember all that when you are talking about going back to renew. It seems like such an easy thing to do. For us, when we thought of all that really went with it. Well, it was too much on my fianances at the time.


I say all the time...the wedding does not make the marriage....



When I went to Jamanica to get married, I had no idea how my wedding was going to turm out. Let me explain.

My now husband was task with all of the planning for the wedding. the only thing I was tasked with was showing up and inviting whomever I wanted to invite from the States. My wedding took place on 2/27/2008. That date fell on a Wednesday. My husband talked to the pastor of the church, obtained the marriage license and his friends and family put on the reception.

Our marriage vows took place in a very old church in Kingston. There were less than 20 people invited to the wedding. I was married in a cream yellow strapless short gown. I purchased it from Davids Bridal, but I had it cut off above the knee. I wanted to show my sexy leggs.(vain) My husband still laugh about this when I explains its to him. My maid of honor was my brother-in-laws girlfriend, from the states. I didn't asked my girlfriend, because she had just come off of a cruise, and I didn't want to put any hardship on her. Note: to this day she is still mad at me for this. My wedding was small but romantic. Now the reception was one big party that was put on by his friends in the commnunity. We didn't share in the expense of this, so over all my wedding cost me the price of a trip to Jamaica. I am saying all of this to say you can still have your dream wedding in Jamaica, it doesnt have to cost a fortune. Note: my father has agreed to sponsor a reception for us when Joe arrives here in the States. This will be his formal introduction to my side of the family. So I see this a s a win win situation for all.



Roxie,
Your wedding style sounds very much like mine. We married in JA almost a year ago and it was THE BEST day ever! I know many people say that the wedding does not make the marriage (I used to say that too), but its still an important aspect of your union. Of course if you are not following a relious faith the wedding may not have the religious meaning to you and be more of just a celebration or party. For me and my husband the ceremony was very sacred to us and I could not imagine not having that ceremony with all his family and my family there to bless the union. I'm the type of person who has her mother come bless the house you move into by placing blessed oil all over the walls. My mom use to pray for us before school and finger a cross on our foreheads with blessed oil. I'd go to school with an oily forhead rofl.gif .
Anyway, My husband did most of the work on planning our wedding too since it was in his part of town. His family helped out with everything. So it really wasnt that expensive for me. I didnt go into debt an once the wedding was done there were no residual bills. It is possible to have your ceremony there for cheap. Its just the way that you look at it.



Marlita, welcome back. How was your trip? Yes, I was glad he wanted a church wedding, since this was a first for both of us. It was very simple, but romantic. So what i was trying to say, is if they want a JA weeding, then do. I didn't even know about the reception until after we were married.

That's wonderful that it worked out like that. Trust me, that would not be the case for us. I wish.



JG, you know you can always do something small for your anniversary. You can still do something small with just you and him in JA.

Welcom to the world of "lets srew them". Everthing that is associated with Jamaica cost an arm and a leg. If you want to fly there , charge you the cost of your first born. You want to send a package charge youy the cost of an arm, yhen when the package is received, charge the cost of a hand.

That's great that the community came together like that for you two. good.gif


This was a surprise to me aswell. Joe knew about it before hand, but he didn't want to tell me, because I kept saying I wanted a very small wedding. No more than 7 people . He said that wasn't possible, because he his from a large family. So about 20 showed up for the church wedding vows, but the entire communtiy showed up for the reception. After the reception was over I asked, how much did this cost them. Joe stated that the community was paying him back for things he had done for them over the years. One of the things Joe had started doing was when he worked here in the states, he would send school supplies home to be given out to the community kids. I will continue that process by soliciting help from my friends, family and associates.


That's beautiful Roxie;

Because Marcel and I come for an extremely large family, Jamaica would be the only place we could afford to have people meet up for our wedding. He wants to plan for this in 2 years, but only time will tell. My parents will be retired living in Jamaica by then and so will most of my aunts and uncles. I've just always dreamt of getting married on the beach barefooted and afterwards both my husband and I just run into the water...call me crazy. I pray that one day we'll be able to do so. I loved my 5min. ceremony at the courthouse. He was smiling the whole time.


I understand, I just told Joe that I wants to do a thank you dinner party for 7 of his closest friends in November when I am there for 3 weeks-- to thank them for throwing our reception. Also I wants them to get to know me, not just the Hi and Bye's we do now. Okay, so I am talking about a little social right. NOOO Joe says to me we are giving a party, I say NO. I want to give a social dinnner for 7 to 14 people. I told him 7 of his closest friends would be able to bring dates. He keeps saying party, I keeps trying to tell him it will only be a social dinner party. I know we are talking different lanaguage, but I will keeps explaining to him, it is only a small get together.

I will try to have a American social get together in Jamaica. Ha Ha.

Roxcie, i thought if you married in JA it was a CR1? and how long has it been since you started the initial process?



Honeychild, we were married in Feb 2008, but I just mailed the i130 out yesterday. We initially thought my husband was going to return on his work visa to the USA to a job that was waiting for him, but when the company realized he had married a USA citizen, they didn't want to sponsor his visa. So now we are going to go the spouse visa route.

Roxcie



Oh NO Roxcie I'm sorry to hear they didn't want to sponsor him again. I'm sure you all are very frustrated at this point. I'm praying for you all



Yes, this has been very frustrating to say the least. We now have to move on to Plan B, and try to live our lives. We were just haviong this conversation last night, how we can not let this visa process run our lives. We need to continue to go forth with some of the plans we had talked about.

Tanks for the prayer

Honey, where you read about it happen the most is in the Africia and India sites. So many of them have been denied K1 visa, because they have had the ceremonies, and USCIS are saying they are legal and now they need to file for a K3 or CR1.

Yeah, that has been a bummer for us, because we were all set to do an AOS when he got here. So not only does he not have the job he was counting on, but he is only doing part-time work in JA now. So the funds are short. That's another story another day. His brother who works for the same company is here in the states, so I see my brother-in-law on a regular basis, but not my husband.

As for the non legal ceremony, I would read the other sites on what has be said and what has happen to others who have done the non legal ceremony route before I commit to it.

Roxcie, i am so inpatient and me and D havent even filed yet!!! But the distance and seperation is already taking a toll on me. I tell D, when i retire i will move to JA, and we will spend 6 months on the island and 6 months in the states.

Roxcie, i thought if you married in JA it was a CR1? and how long has it been since you started the initial process?



Honeychild, we were married in Feb 2008, but I just mailed the i130 out yesterday. We initially thought my husband was going to return on his work visa to the USA to a job that was waiting for him, but when the company realized he had married a USA citizen, they didn't want to sponsor his visa. So now we are going to go the spouse visa route.

Honey, I understand how you are feeling, that was one of the reasons, Joe and I decided to get married in Jamaica because I wanted to be married there in one of the old chuches with a warm breeze blowing off of the water and now I am misearable with filing for the K3. Now everyone is telling me it could take up to a 1 to be completed. Like today, he is having a pity party. Life sucks, and everything is going to take to long. Why don't I just give up everything and move there. We will be poor together, (broke). Trust him, he will make it right. All the right words, but reality sets in. We both need to work and live here in the USA for awhile. This is what happens when you party too much, you start thinking about your problems after the good times are over.

I will have to find some way to cheer him up.

Dwayne's big thing is tea! He knows every tree, flower and bush and how it will affect the body. He doesn't really tell me what foods to eat. Most times at his house I eat what they eat anyway so there is no discussion I love his cooking. I do wonder how it will be when he arrives though and can't go to the back yard for some special tree bark for our tea. whistling.gif


Has he told you about Worm tea? DJ and I had this lengthy conversation about how everyone has worms in them and this tea makes you shyt them out blink.gif I told him I am lactose intolerant and allergic to lobster - If I want to spend hours on the toilet cleaning out, I am going to enjoy myself first!!!



rofl.gif OMG the first time he told me that everyone has worms in them I thought I'd die laughing. He went on to say how they are the crumbles you hear in your belly when you don't eat. That is why first thing in the morning you must drink tea; it makes the worms run from the heat!!!

I told my sis and we laughed and laughed but he is sooo serious!! So now, I just accept dat mi hav di worms in mi belly! good.gif


Wakey...you are not telling the full story. Ya'll (yes I went Southern) get this...you really don't have a choice with Dwane...you protest...he blows on a spoon of tea or food or both and shoves in your open mouth...all the while saying "I know...I know...you'll like it. I know." Then he stands back and waits for the taste to explode in your mouth before he gives a slllllllooooowwww grin and nods yes.gif

We would wake up to him standing over us with boiling hot tea...blowing and forcing us to take a sip while it's still hot. "I know...I know...you'll like it. I know."

My first time hanging out with him...I absolutely REFUSED to eat anything involving conch. A would get so upset because I wouldn't eat from his plate or bowl or cup of conch (I like his nerve...with his picky #######)....well anyway...Dwane and his cousin get soup...and I casually ask what kind it was...he stops midway from his open mouth and shoves the spoon full of soup into my mouth. "I know...I know...you'll like it. I know."
yes.gif yes.gif




Ladies, it's so nice to hear of the good times you both had in JA together. Wake, I am happy for you that your SO will be here soon. This process takes a lot from you. It makes you question whether loving someone from far is worth it. Friday and Saturday nights gets to be the most difficult to get through. Oh don't mind me. I just talked to Joe and he was listerning to music and I'm mad because I want to be ther but I can't. So I will go back and take another nap. I guess when i asked God to give me a good man to love me, I didn't ask him to put him in the same country or state; my mistake.

He has told me You are like a match, you strike, flame up, then you apologize all over the place. He has been so patient about this.

EU was the bomb. I used to see the lead singer out all the time when I was in high school -- especially at the Rivertown midnight movies and the Mr. Sam's Car Wash. All the DC/MD folks should remember those where the places to hang out. Looking back on it now, I can't believe we used to hang out at the car wash blink.gif

Y'all are taking me down memory lane.


We heard "Taste of Your Love" by Suga Bear last night...first go-go slow song. Only in the Nation's Capitol....



Hey, I lived down the street from the lead singer, we used to have block parties every Friday night. Girl, doing the butt was the rage. The block parties were off the chain. Also, the outdoor events that were held durning the summer in DC, with Earth, Wind and Fire.

Should my letters of a affidavits for proof of a bonda fide martial relationship be notirized?



Thanks

It would be safe not to print doubled sided...seeing how USCIS operates you do not want to make anything too difficult for them...they will probably over look it and think you did not submit all pages...I submitted a cover letter just stating the petitioner and beneficiary name and just listed what was attached...I also submitted affidavits and I didn't get them notarized...



Thanks

I will be submitt everything on single side pages. I hope we get thru this process without too many problems. I will be putting evertthing together trhis weekend and then I will let another set of eyes glance at it for its final completeness.

I think it was the DS-230 they were probably referring to.

The 325 doesn't have a barcode.

I think the cases before are what is creating any issues that are faced at the Jamaican embassy. It's not bias. It's protecting against all the different ways people try to illegally beat the system.

Dear Heavenly Father,

This is a wonderful day, Lord! Two of your most dedicated children become one today! Lord, watch over Novelette and Marcel on this day and in their marriage. Please bless them with the strength to get through this day and find you and love at the end of it!

Lord, keep their marriage upon the solid foundation that they have built for themselves through you. Help them to weather the rough times...together and show them many, many good times ...together. Help them to build and provide for their family...together.

Keep them strong and a united powerful team against the devil and others that wish them harm and ill-will...together. Show them that through you and their love they can conquer ANYTHING...together!

Lawny & Marcel remember:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Lord, you have been so good to them so far. You helped them to find each other and start this wonderful journey. You supported them through the many months they were separated. You carried them through the interview process and finally brought Marcel here to be with his Wife. Bless them Father....oh Bless them that their love continues to grow, their faith in each other and you remains steadfast and strong.

But most importantly Lord...Help them to feel the love they have for each other today...always.

In your powerful & bless-ed name we pray...

AMEN!!

Lawny and Marcel, I will tell you the same thing our pastor told Ken and I. In the worst of times in your marriage, remember one thing...'Love is patient...Love is patient...Love is patient!!'

This is the bless-ed day that you have both been working towards! Rejoice in this day!!

Bless-ed love to you both,

Mike has 5 kids with 5 different women and when I found out I was like "huh" and the way I reacted made him mad cause I jokingly said to him "you are a little #######, weren't you?" He was maaaaaadddd, but I jusgt laughed about it and moved on because this all happened when he was in the army and police force and he is a different person now. I do not use that what happened years ago to judge him. whistling.gif

I base my relationship with him now on the perspn he is and what life's lessons have taught him. Those experiences have made him who he is today, counseling kids to stay on the right path and serving his God. I am so grateful to God for him, although I can be a total "B" at time and test his patience. rolleyes.gif

Anyway, I made the introductions to Ken and she was like ..."THIS MAN IS YOUR HUSBAND...HE IS SO YOUNG!!! ohmy.gif (Ken's 27...but looks younger) Gillian, he looks like he could be one of your students!" Ken looked at me and I was like... sad.gif unsure.gif ...My man stepped up and was like ..."Ohhh, but I am Young...Keniel Young and so is my wife...she is 'Forever Young' and I am one of her students...she teaches me something new everyday and... night!" and gave her a wink.gif and slapped my butt!

That woman always made me feel less than and my Ex joined her in demoralizing me. When she said that about Ken...it took me right back to my 'trying to please the world' stage of my life! Ken was the first man that ever stood up for me to her! She's nothing but a bully and hurt because her husband left her for a 25 year old after 20 odd years of marriage!

A future date can be 1 to 3 years from now. If you start the planning now with an possible venue for the cruise you might get a lot of Vj's who would like to join in. Just a thought.

Sounds great. I wish you all well.

I refuse to get on a big boat. I'm sort of a Titanic fanatic.

I went to work the day after too. I'm still waiting for the honeymoon!


JG -- it will come rofl.gif ... I wan to go to St. Barts for our honeymoon (but that's nowhere in the future).

I think by the time we pay for all the immigration fees to bring our SOs home we have blew what normal couples spend on wedding and honeymoon. It's worth it!



I think that too. It's just that I went from travelling all the time to travelling just once a year and always domestic. It was a difficult transition.
