Otherwise, I have saved, copied, collated, and filed pretty much from the day of the AOS. I know, I know....I'm #######. But I'm scared. And, I WILL NOT be running around doing all this later. I'll fill out the paperwork, bind it all together somehow, add a check, and send it off. Doesnt' that sound wonderfully easy? Not the story of my life, so we'll just see.

Ok, you have just surpassed Mindy as the Queen of ####### laughing.gif no0pb.gif You have NO need to be nervous or worried. You have everything you need already and almost a year to go still! Geez woman!

We have our interview on December 7. Does anyone know if there is some "Stamp" you get in your passport the same day if the interview is succesful/approved? Like, before he gets his green card? Hi uncle told him so, but his uncle went through the process 15 years ago!! We want to plan a trip to JA for Christmas, but obviously DON'T want to go with the AP paperwork alone. Anyone??

I think they still give you the stamp in your passport right at the interview. We didn't get one because we were missing a document that we had to fax them later. So we were approved, pending this document. However, it only took about 2 weeks to get the actual Green card.

whistling.gif You are in for so many surprises when the time comes. You have no idea......


oh heck! I am a grown woman who HAS been is many other long-term relationships that were with Jamaican men who lived with me for years!!! So no, I will not be in for a huge surprise. By the time that my husband moves here it will be at least 2 years into our relationship....not 6months. We have a base structure that is our Lord Jesus Christ so even though he and I are not seeing each other face to face, God keeps us seeing eye to eye. I think the problem is that if you are a selfish or self centered person you have "no idea" what marriage will require of you. That is not me or my husbands issue. So once again the "generalization" that MY relationship may be as difficult as yours doesnt stand tall.

Have you not learned anything from all these posts about NOT generalizing others relationships to your own? Cha!!!

I didn't say anything about difficult relationships! Just about surprises. Not necessarily negative - some of our experiences were downright funny!

I would wash his clothes separately and find a way to ruin them every time. Whites with new pair of jeans. Colors with a new bottle of bleach the big one. I would cook for him, but my hair would be in his plate every time...maybe from downstairs too. I would be the most disgusting woman he ever had the pleasure of knowing. My mind is very devious.

Eat up Craig....did you like it honey? Then, he got to almost finished....BAM...how did your pum hair get on my chicken? Oh honey, I decided to cook naked for you. You had me so turned on...and I was waiting for you to come home to me and a home cooked meal. biggrin.gif

I would make his life pure hell in my home too. He would wake up to a wet a** because I would pee the bed every night he decided to climb in next to me. I would let him "view" that time of the month still floating in the toilet. I would be a nasty FILTHY HOHO to get him to leave.

.........but, I've always felt like I would see my husband as a possession if I said I could/would send him back. We have always looked at each other together as a married partnership. I have no rights to even think I could just ship him off and be done with any problems. And, he looks as that sentiment as him running away from any problems. That one sentence that bugs me so many times has been/is never spoken in our house.

It should never be said. You're right. I used it in the past to hurt him during an argument or fight.

We have talked though and he agreed that if something were to happen and we split up, he'd probably move back to JA anyhow. That's where his family and friends are - it's still his "home". I wouldn't blame him at all. I'd do the same if the situation were reversed.

You can't go into these relationships (JA/USA) thinking you are his savior and he should be happy that you rescued him from his life of squalor and filth. Third World country does not mean low class man. I hear alot of women and men equate more money to being better. Sad way to look at things.

So true. Not all Jamaicans WANT to come a farrin. Some are perfectly happy with their lives. This is a big misconception too. Tony originally did not want to move here. We talked about me moving there, but decided the job opportunities are better here for right now. Your marriage is not going to work if you feel as if you rescued him or saved him or gave him this great opportunity no0pb.gif He came here so you could be TOGETHER. Thats it.

Not neccessarily. Everybody's experience is different. Although it appears the norm is a lot of struggle with him adapting to the different culture, some people do not experience it at all. I KNOW for a fact a few people that didn't have ONE day of the relationship changing when the Jamaican man got here.

I pray that Marlita is one of those.


One of my favorite sayings is "Expect the worst, but HOPE for the best". I think the more prepared you are for what might happen and the big adjustments that must be made, the better you will handle the situation. And yes, every relationship is different. It also seeme easier for those who did the K3 or Cr1 because their husbands could work right away. That's one of the most difficult things for some men - sitting at home doing nothing for months on end!

Well, what about school? Is it taught in school?

Let me rephrase again............how many different ways have you seen Patois written? I mentioned some above. Are there more? You've got me curious now.

As far as credible, I'm not sure on that one. I do know I understand it so much better in the spoken form. Probably some learning defect in me that way.

As far as I know, it is NOT taught in school at all. What confuses me is there doesn't seem to be one certain way to spell things. That's why it's sometimes hard to read. Everyone spells it how they think it should be spelled. I gaurantee if I told Tony to write me a note in Patois, he wouldn't even know where to start. I think most Jamaican's know how to speak it, but not write/read it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I can't sound it out loud at work - people will be looking at me funny if I start talking to myself! I'll have to try to do some at home even though I rarely get online at home. Are there any books out there? They have every other language under the sun! Jawi, maybe you should write one! An English/Patois translation book!!

Oh, but I forgot to include that those relationships are for those that HAVE their men here !!!

Who am I forgetting? I only included those that are both here in the U.S. and have been married for a good amount of time now. It can be done! Feel free to start a "newbie" list too of those just married or just moved here in the past 3-6 months or so. I'm a bit shaky on all the names still.

Some of these ladies don't frequent the board much anymore, but they're still together. Also, my friend Jackie and her husband (some of you may remember her from VJ) are doing great! They got married about 4 months before Tony and I.

So that's my happy, cheerful news for the day :energetic:

RhondaP. comes off as a strong and confident woman too, but I have never seen her talk about putting her man in line even if they have an agrument, or she doesn't agree with something he does.

Nope, and you never will no0pb.gif One of the biggest mistakes I made when he first came here was thinking that I was somehow the "better" one in the relationship. Whether it was because I had a college education, made more money, knew how to read and write perfectly, whatever.... I was inadvertantly treating him as my inferior. Once I saw the light, and starting giving him the respect he deserved and listening to what he had to say and taking his opinion into account, things vastly improved between us. We fought like cats & dogs our first year of marriage. I used to "threaten" him with divorce and sending him back to JA. He'd say please do! I was happier there anyways! I learned that you can't hold a marriage over someones head to get them to change their ways. It will only backfire on you.

We still have our share of fights and disagreements, usually about finances. Neither of us tries to put the other "in line" - we are both stubborn and bull-headed and it probably wouldn't work anyhow!

If we don't have any Jamaican rum, it's usually Bacardi Gold or Bacardi 151 devil.gif Once in a while, I'll drink Parrot Bay or Malibu coconut rum with some pineapple juice. Yummy! Or a pina colada. Or a dirty banana. Man, I'm thirsty innocent.gif

Can you tell I haven't drank in awhile? wacko.gif

Me too, Rhonda.

I'm thinking I should just go home. Fighting a cold and I feel like ####### today. Think I'd much rather be home listening to my husband give me all kinds of his crazy remedies to try. Not sure the ginger tea is doing any good; but it sure does taste good.

You need to put some white rum in that tea wink.gif Then you'll feel better!

live in the strangest place on earth, I swear. Last night there was a news story. At a local college 3 guys went to buy some drugs from 2 guys. All college students and in a frat house. 2 of the guys stole the drugs and then ran, leaving behind their friend. The 2 guys held the other guy hostage until they got their money back. They beat him. They shaved his head in some "derogatory" fashion. Not even sure what that means. They tied him up. Then, they lifted his shirt and pushed chocolate chip cookies hot from the oven on his chest. Is that messed up or what? I have to admit, while it is frightening, I was laughing at the thought.

laughing.gif It sounds like some kind of weird hazing ritual to join the fraternity!!
