I've been to Jamaica 26x and right now is THE longest stretch in the past 10 yrs that I haven't been there.

Ok, scratch that, Kelly wins hands down :lol: She's got special advantages though!! :P

WOW :o So far, you win the award for most times to JA!! :lol:

I've been to Jamaica 4 times. Other islands: Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Barbados, Antigua, St. Martin, Martinque, St. Thomas

Michele, how long were you in Barbados? Did you stay there or was it a stop-over on a cruise? We're really thinking of going there but I don't know anyone who's been there except for Kelly. Did you like it? Was it as expensive as everyone says it is? Thanks :blush:

We just found out yesterday that Duane's son was taken to England by the son's mother!!! (wicked women) :devil:

That is terrible! :o It really scares me how easily you can take a baby/child out of the country. My friend Jackie (some of you may remember her from VJ) had to get a letter written from her husband that she was allowed to take their daughter out of the country. He flew down to JA first for a week and she was following a week later with the baby. They NEVER even looked at the letter or asked her for any documentation! <_< So anyone can just take a baby or child and leave the country with it. It's just crazy. Good luck finding her and his son. Hopefully you'll know something soon.

Iffeisha is the same too. She is just dying for some snow to fall. We have only had some flurries here so she is still in a waiting mode.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaYardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 3)

I think I might put it on the job--if they give him a leave of absence, fine; but if they aren't willing, I would have to suggest to him that he wait a little while until he can take some time off without jeopardizing the job, and just send money to his kids (rather than spending it on the trip)

VERY good advice :yes: Then at least he would have a job to come back to - after all, you're gonna have a loan to pay off!! Or just send them money - that's even better.
rhondapayterFemaleJamaica2006-12-07 04:20:00
Mexico, Latin & South AmericaYardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 3)

Anyhows....I will have to take out another loan in order for him to do this, so....so far, even tho he has worked for 4 months, it will cost everything he has made so far, then plus he wants some "extra" (like $5,000) to pay back his brother. The loan I am getting is at 24%...yikes! We are in pretty deep straights, with him doing this right at this time.

Jill,
That is absolutely CRAZY!!! You should not have to take out a loan for him to go on vacation!! Especially a loan with a 25% interest rate :o And he's going to lose his great job that pays well and has good benefits?? I would say no way :no: You said it yourself, he was just there in Jan. for 5 whole weeks! That's more time than Tony has been back to JA COMBINED on his last 3 trips back home!!!

(Sorry if I'm being too harsh - you wanted our opinions :blush: )

I think we should start another topic for the day. Any suggestions?


Rhonda will come up with one later tonight. :D

:lol: Ok, how many times have you been to Jamaica? (I know we had this as a poll a while back but we have lots of newbies now) What other Caribbean islands have you been to? Where do you want to go for your next vacation? Can you tell I'm already sick of the cold weather and thinking of the tropics? :P B)

I have been to Jamaica a total of 8 times now!! I have been to San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Martin, and Cayman Islands briefly while on cruises. And I have been to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic). For our next vacation we're thinking about going to Barbados.

For those with their spouse here/visa approved: One piece of advice you'd give to those still in their visa process (in regards to life here in states, dealing with immigration, communication, etc.)?

Oh my gosh, where to begin.... :wacko: Definately get his license as soon as possible. Even if he doesn't have a car for awhile, at least he can drive YOU around for a change when you go places together. (You'll know what I mean by this after you've driven HIM around everywhere for about 4 months straight!) Also, if possible, get him a bicycle immediately so at least he has some way to get around when he's stuck home alone - also he can learn his way around a little bit

Have him take ESL (english as second language) classes or GED classes right when he first gets here. This will help him for a number of reasons: 1.) get him out of the house and give him something to do since he can't work yet 2.) help his languang/reading/writing skills 3.) let him meet new people since you're the ONLY one he sees most of the time 4.) help him feel at least slightly independant

Make sure you locate a Jamaican or Caribbean store so you can get some of the foods he likes - comes in handy when he's feeling homesick or he's bored and wants to cook JA food :D bonus for you- you get to eat whatever he cooks (and if he's like Tony the ONLY thing he knows how to cook is JA food so you're gonna need the right ingrediants)

I have so much more, but I should probably get back to work now :blush:

My husband is wanting a car so bad when he gets here. What did you ladies do about this issue?


Luckily for Tony I had two vehicles when he got here. When he got his license I let him drive my truck some times and I drove my car. We got lucky though and one of his first jobs, his boss used to pick him up for work and he would just ride with him. About a year after he had been here, I bought him a used car. It's a bit older but it does the job. I think it cost $2000. He's saving for something a little better, but it's a long, tough process because he doesn't make that much to begin with :wacko:

I own a manual but it's a sports car and that actually increases the cars value. Certain trucks and jeeps are about the only other vehicles that a manual is actually a "good" thing :blush: Why does he want a manual so badly? Can you explain to him that in the city, they are not necessarily ideal because of traffic and all the stop-and-go?? Good luck. Try autotrader . com to look for used cars for sale in your area. That's what I use a lot.

well it is finally in the 30's mike went outside with just a zipper up sweatshirt and came running back.... :lol: :lol: it was just toooooo cute for words....we are off to a craft show first then the mall wish us luck that i don't come back home with a frozen Jamaican :lol:


I guess he didn't realize just how cold it was :lol: :lol:

I have a funny story about that from when Tony first got here. On his first morning he wakes me up and says hurry up and come outside - it's beautiful out! Keep in mind it was the middle of October in Michigan and only about 50 degrees! Tony was wearing shorts and a t-shirt :no: I asked him have YOU been outside? And he says no, but the sun is shining and it's nice out. I told him he better go outside and check the weather. He comes running back inside and pulls on jeans and a sweatshirt. He thought if the sun was shining it was warm out! :o :lol: I laughed my butt off! I told him the sun could be out and shining bright and it could be 20 degrees outside :D Now he checks the weather BEFORE he gets dressed!!

Is there anyone here who can or will help me with the questions I've posted?????

Here's some ideas of other stuff to send:

Copies of your passport stamps from your visits down there

Hotel receipts



They're talking about the dreaded "s" word here for Monday. - but 18 miles driving on ice is no joke.

Yeah, tell me about it :angry: I hate winter. It's been raining here non-stop and now the temperature is dropping so everything is going to freeze. I have about 25 miles to drive each way :unsure:

Sorry :lol: I haven't loved the snow SINCE I was a kid - I used to pray we'd get enough for them to cancel school so we would get a day off! :yes: Now it sucks because I have a 25 mile commute each way and the snow and ice doubles my drive time.

Is Mike flying home TODAY??? If so, that's great :luv: :D

1) Did you have to wait till status was adjusted to get a social security card or did they give one with the I-94 only? What was the process involved in getting one. the guide on this site does not really give you a certainty, just a If scenario?

Yes, she can get a SS card with no problem. It will just say on it "valid with work authorization" or something like that. In other words, as soon as an employer looks at it, they would be asking for her EAD to go along w/ it. After they become residents, I think you're supposed to go back to SS office and get a new card that doesn't have that line on it - but we still haven't updated Tony's yet :blush:

All in all, the SS card was one of the easiest things we did ;)

And no, as Mindy said, she DOES NOT need another Medical :no: Don't waste your money!

Hey Shauna, when is Mike flying home?? Are you all prepared for his arrival?

ok...i don't know what is going on with my fiance, but i swear he is doing everything in his power to test the last little bit of patience that i have for him---

I think I can safely say that all of us have been through this at one point in time. It is sooooo difficult to get anything done in Jamaica and here in the U.S. we're used to getting things done in a timely manner. I remember being really stressed out waiting for Tony to get his passport and then the police record and medical. He had no car so he had to find someone to drive him, plus he had to wait until he had a day off because everything is such a long, drawn out process.

Please be patient. Everything will get done. You can't physically go down there and do these final things so you have to TRUST and RELY on him to do them. I know its hard :blush: Hang in there!

I spent alot of my childhood Christmas' in Southern California -- I LOVE the colored flocked trees. That's is something I have NEVER seen in the midwest. Maybe that's why I just had to have a colored tree...

Mindy, you just HAVE to be different :P :lol:

Also......just a word of caution for all your husbands/men that eat chicken bones...........we spent the evening in the emergency room last night and we are going back in for more testing next week. Duane has been bleeding really bad and they think it might be related to the chicken bones. Apparently, they sliver like wood no matter how good they are chewed and they can do major damage to the intestines..... :( :(

Oh my :o I hope he's all right. How can they tell JA men NOT to eat chicken bones?? :o

I think I will stay home and help my mom and dad put up their Christmas tree. I won't be putting mine up this year because I will be visiting my husband. Do a lot of you put up your trees the day after Thanksgiving?

Me and Tony finally bought a decent sized tree this year. It's 6 1/2 ft. tall. The other one I've had since I first bought my house was only like 2 ft. tall :P Yes, I plan to put it up Thanksgiving weekend. That's only 4 weeks from Christmas :star:

I have a seven foot purple x-mas tree -- when I first got it I put it up and didn't take it down for five years :lol:

Mindy, you are too funny :lol: Put the damn tree back up so at least Roy will have a X-mas tree :P

MR. MIKEY is COMING HOME :D :dance: :D

CONGRATS :dance: See, I knew everything would be just fine!! 10 yrs. from now you'll be laughing about all this with your kids :lol:

Last year Damien wanted to be in charge of the Christmas tree decorations.

:yes: Tony did our tree his first X-mas too! The only thing is, my tree was only 2 ft. tall and he covered it with full-size ornaments :lol: I never even used to put ornaments on it - it's fiber-optic lights so I would just turn the switch and I was done. It was cute though.

mike got there and was standing on the other side of the road and the securtiy guard announced....NO BLUE PAPERS TODAY :( :(

Shauna, sorry to hear the bad news :( I will tell you a little story that might make you feel better. When I was supposed to fly down for Tony's interview, Hurricane Ivan struck JA!! All the airports were closed, hotels were closed, and the Embassy was closed INDEFINATELY :o I had already bought my ticket AND Tony's ticket to fly back home with me. I had to pay a lot of money to change the tickets because I missed the "hurricane fee waiver" by ONE day :angry: Just because the airport was opened back up they said I could fly down there. However, the Embassy was still closed and most of the island was without power. And to make matters even worse, I was supposed to spend my birthday in JA with Tony and I ended up spending it in Michigan ALONE :crying: Needless to say, everything was delayed by about 3 weeks but we did finally get the Visa and get him back home with me.

Hang in there ;)

Jamie, how are you? We haven't seen you in these parts in awhile! :no: Don't be a stranger ;)

She has developed a great rapport with my family so the clothes situation has been solved. They offered her directly and she accepted and actually has begun wearing. My grandmother who is suffering with cancer was so sweet she gave her the jewelry for the wedding and gave her so much clothes and jewelry for other things we are having an issue with space. This has been easier than I thought especially with my sister who is very protective. They are already shopping buddies.

That is great that she's getting along so well with your family :yes: That's very important and I'm sure it will make things even easier for you guys. Get used to the lack of space! It's a female thing :P I have both double closets filled to the brim in our room - Tony uses the closet in the spare room :innocent:

Sorry you had to postpone the wedding. Good luck THIS Friday!!

BUT....sometimes the Embassy people don't like when things change :wacko:

Yes, this is so true :yes: Or they don't even know about the change. When we had Tony's interview they had just recently changed the photo requirements. I had the new, correct ones but the girl at the Embassy INSISTED that she needed the older style. Lucky for us, I had copies of those too! However when we got to our POE the officer at the airport called us into the little room :unsure: Scared me to death by doing this! He said he had to take pics because we had the wrong ones!!! That's because the stupid Embassy girl would NOT take the right ones from me :ranting: Once I realized what he wanted I simply handed him the original "correct" photos and we were on our way!

So yes, as Mindy says bring the kitchen sink, the stove, AND the fridge with you :lol:

I know it is early but what is everyone's plans for Thanksgiving?

Belly...the paperwork says they want all three tax years.....although some folks only had to actually submit one. The lady did ask us for all three.....I have made "well" over the support limit for the past several years but she still wanted to look to see the pattern of my income. (So she said..) She gave me back the oldest but initially she asked for all three of them so I would just be safe and get them.......Doesn't Mindy say something like....."better to bring everything and the "kitchen sink" just to be safe".....

YES, bring all THREE years of tax returns and W-2's. They took all 3 years of ours!! It's better to be way over-prepared than not have something you need.

No I have not filed yet. It's not a matter of if I love him or not; nor a "love conquers all" thing. Sadly, it's not quite as simple as that. I have a crippling fear that is immobolizing me and no matter what I try to do or how much everyone tries to encourage me I can't get past the stage I'm in now. I feel like a deer caught in headlights.


If I may ask, what are you afraid of? Is it committment? Marriage? Maybe we can help you rationalize your fears. I know we have all had our doubts at one point in this process whether it was before we filed, while we were waiting, or after he got here!! :yes: Hang in there :luv:

It's occured to me; and I'm sure some of you too, that I have been here over a year and I have not progressed at all since then. I can't seem to summon up the courage to move forward. What's so sad is that I have dragged an innocent man into this :( . He probably would have been better off without having met me. :cry:

You didn't file yet right? I think you need to ask yourself some important questions. Do you love him? Can you imagine your life without him? Do you want to be together? Do you want to get married? Are you ready to give up on the whole thing and never see each other again?

It seems like you need to come to some sort of decision. Unless you're emotionally and financially able to keep dating long distance, you need to make a move. What does he think of all this? How long have you guys been "together"?

Good luck with your decision. :thumbs:

Me dey ya....AND it's offical......I am MARRIED!!!!!! I still can't believe it but I'm happy, truly happy. Thanks

Wow! Congratulation :thumbs: What part of JA did you get married in?

Second of all, I would like to say JA is the most unorganized and lazy place I have ever seen.

Basically I was in Spanish Town on Friday trying to tie up some loose ends and bam two cars block us in the corner and wanted to rob us. Luckily they didn't have a gun but it was scary nevertheless.


OH my gosh :o I would have totally freaked out! I am so glad you're ok. What did you do?

And I totally agree with JA being totally unorganized and lazy :yes: Doing anything there takes forever :(

We did not remove a single paper from our folder. nO PICS, NO PHONE BILL, NO LETTER. She said "Trust me, you two do not need anything else."

The same thing happened with us. We didn't need anything we brought with us except the requested forms (156, 157, etc.) I guess the old saying holds true though - better to be safe than sorry! ;) As Mindy says, take everything with you including the kitchen sink :lol:

As for the "personal questions" I'm assuming that was due to your unique situation!

Sorry to hear your flight was so delayed. I have heard nothing but complaints lately about Air Jamaica :unsure:
