Hello & happy 2010 to all!!! Its been almost a week since i've been on here. This is due to the quality time i've been enjoying with S.O. He arrived safe & sound @ JFK airport here in NY. According to him the Delta flight was smooth all the way to NY. As I welcomed him to NY/America he interjected & said "you mean d ice box". I then said, this is nothing.40s is good compared to the freezing temps we just had & will be getting again.
Unfortunately the following morning I had to work. I did however inform him, if he goes downstairs, he can interact with my brother & my mother.
Throughout the week, I showed him two malls in area & introduced him to friends of mine which he has spoken to. Luckily for him, he has some friends here in NY area that he can link up with, one of which is my cousin.
New Years Eve, we stayed in. We watched ball drop in city on the tv. So far so good!! He is just anxious to get a job to contribute. I keep explaining, in due time!!

Congrats & best of luck Mrs. Tee!!!
Thanks Ms Jamerican Queen!!! Today is the official day. His mother lives in Florida and she called me already this morning. She is just as happy as i am. Im fairly positive i will feel the same way in regards to the one time LDR. Now i wont have to worry about Sprint putting blocks on my phone b/c they think the phone is stolen due to the overseas calls i make when his digi credit is done WAY before time. Im so anxious. And surprisingly, weather is decent in NY. All the snow washed away yesterday when it rained. As always, I will keep everyone updated. Take care and thanks again

Merry Christmas to all!!!!! Happy Bday Jahni. I'd like to thank all of you who were helpful to me in the first part of my visa journey. On Dec 15th, i attended the interview in JA with my SO. It went extremely well. Questions asked were str8 4wrd. One in particular, was in regards to my son. She asked him if he knew him and how old was he. My S.O KNOWS my son. This past summer we spent 3ks with him & last yr 2wks. Plus my son(who is 6) has a decent relationship with him. While at interview, i couldnt understand why ppl came to the embassy and didnt have there own pen. Everyone kept asking to borrow ours. So me being a jokey person when ready said to a guy who wanted to borrow it, $100!!! People in the room began to laugh b/c they must have been thinking the same thing i was, Y U NEVA BRING UR OWN!! Its call HUSTLE D MONEY!!!!! Anyhow, he was approved. Now because we are from way ah country, ST BESS to be exact, DHL would not be delivering it to him.
I returned to NY early on the 17th b/c AIR JAMAICA was delayed nearly 5 hours so instead of reaching NY on the 16th @ 9:55 i arrived 2 JFK on the 17th @ 2am. Boy i tell you!!!!!!
As i tracked visa on DHL i saw where it was ready for pickup from the 18th which was the Friday. He went to town on the 21st and obtained it.
So every1, MY SWEETHEART WILL BE IN NY CHRISTMAS SUNDAY, Dec 27th!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again everyone and i will definitely need help with my next step in this journey. Take care

Ya its difficult! I'm trying to be supportive and just let them figure things out but sometimes my horns start to rear out a lil' bit. :devil:

Hormones!!!??? Sometimes I can't bite my tongue about his BM. She seems to have alot to say, never to me though. Why she can't be level headed. Peace!!! Well to bad for her. I'm such a cool person. But unfortunately she may never see that side if she keeps up with the nonsense. I have my 6yr old & his sisters mother & I get along. We obviously aren't best friends but she will call & say her daughter wants to see her brother & I will agree. But some woman just love the passa passa.

Girl do we need to exchange numbers bout these B.M.'s? Den had to send some money back to his son yesterday...chile you should have seen the disgust on my face...how you going to have a child and not be able to get medicine when the baby has a cold, etc?...I told Den to make sure he reminds her that he is not working and that she just decided to skip her rass back into the work force last week so what does she expect.... :angry: its going to take time to get her money up after sitting around for months...I told him to make sure she knows she needs to make them "dollas holla"

LOL. Same thing over here. I had a friend who went down so we went to mall & got some clothes from childrens place to send down for kid. She had the nerve to ask why he sent clothes down that look as if it's from salvation. Ungr8ful!!!!! Childrens Place is the spot for little kids. But true she is so closed mind & blind to reality, I couldn't have expected better. She herself can't provide by herself but have audacity to criticize brand new clothes sent for her son. She'll be alright. I always say bad mind condemn. She isn't regular at all.

It's hard for me to comprehend sometimes because Steve NEVER says anything about not being able to work. He just handles it like a pro. He never asks for nothing either. Whatever I see he needs I just provide it. I do hear him talking to Jamaica saying that he knows what he needs to do to accomplish his goals.... :blush: He meditates alot so I think the has the "link" with the man above and keeps a level head about things...

Hey MrsTee!!! I applaud Steve. With Acory, the thing is he was the sole provider for his son being that the childs mother sits @ home. So he feels that if he isn't working, his son is going to be in need of alot of things. This childs mother took joy in saying "the baby want this" verbally or via txt. Fortunately the childs maternal grandmother is supportive & looks out for kid. She actually is one to call & put little boy on phone b/c the mother will not do it. So that's his frustration but I reassure him, his son will be taken care of.

Have you guys decided on a wedding date yet? Or did I miss it ?

You didn't miss it. Being that we are doing a Justice of Peace wedding, we selected the 26th of this month. The Justice in my area isn't open on weekends, otherwise we would have did it on the 27th which is Sat.

Any of them that go on there gots to have self-esteem issues! Poe thangs....

Things are ok. He just appears to be bothered that he can't contribute financially as yet. In JA, he was used to waking up to run taxi. & when I went down to visit, he willingly would pay for a hotel if we chose to stay @ one & also provided for food & other odds and ends. So basically that is urking him. I keep telling him that is the least but it's a man thing, I guess. I signed him up for a gym so he can get out of house during the day when I'm @ work. Now navigating the bus thing maybe an issue. I don't know! On another note, he's like my mothers best friend. They are always talking & he helps out around the house. I tell him we live upstairs but he finds his way downstairs doing domestic stuff for his MIL.
Overall everything is good. Love will always be there. I just can't wait to submit all forms & get an approval. Over & done with!!!!!

Congrats Nat!! To me that was quick!! It seems as if I just read that you sent off docs. Well I'm in the midst of gathering everything needed. Hopefully it's smooth sailing as well. Quick question, if I were to send a certified copy of Cory BC, do you think I may get RFE? He only came up w/one extra BC. I may just send the original & request a few more from RGD.

Thank you I am the other person getting married this wekend.

Anyhow, Dens!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is the day! How is the weather down there?! I remember picking up Cory as if it were yesterday. Hope everything is prepared for his arrival.
My weekend was quiet. To cold outside. My pumpkin head son went with his dad so Cory & I just watched movies & BS with each other. BTW, we applied for SS on Friday.

Yeah girl, its definitely been interesting... but so far so good...thank God... she has been all about being a good mother and them coming to some kind of agreement on what's best for their son...I'm not a mind-spirited person at all and all I want is what's best for the baby. I'm going to let them handle that on their end and I'll play my part...but all I ask for is respect and that's it!

Never say what you will or will not do, cause I swore I would never marry someone that had a child etc. It took some prayers directly up to God for strength and understanding at first... even had Mama and dem praying to make sure this was for me...lol at the end of the day I love Den and I love his son, who will be big brother to our rug rats as soon as we're blessed with our own!!! :whistle:

Not trying to push one big happy family right now but at some point in time...hopefully we can all get there! Maybe I'm expecting too much... :whistle:

Sounds cool Dens. I'm laughing @ your rugrats comment.

Real young...he was born in September...almost 5 months old now.

Ok. Yea, that is young. Well hopefully child mother is nothing like what I'm dealing with. & he can continue communicate w/her about best interest of child & so forth. It'll work out although it's extremely hard. Sh*t, sometimes I feel to leave NY but my son & his father HAVE AN EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP. He would really miss his dad & 9yr old sister. Who knows!!!!

He's just a little brought down because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman.
Don't get strung out by the way that I look,
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover...............

That's what that picture reminds me of!




I will stand outside of VJ and picket in protest if ANYONE gives you an update!!!!!

LOL. Ok, I will go back & read. Afterall, I have idle time here doing hospital coverage. It's funny b/c when I'm @ job site counting meds, ordering meds, scheduling dr appts, & providing care I'm ok. But being here doing "one to one" is coming like torture. Oh well, that's how it go sometimes

Morning all!!! We have sunshine & cool breeze 2day in NY. Tolerable weather. Well yesterday I received package containing AOS, EAD, & AP. I must say it, that being the AOS, requires alot. Just as K1, I will fill it out via internet. But having packet gives me the chance to read everything & check off what I have as I begin lenghty process. Wish me lots of luck when I do begin which will be in the coming weeks.
2mrrw makes a month since SO is here. Everything has been peace with us. He's just so used to getting up & going to work. This is obviously close to impossible in his situation unless we know someone willing to give him an off the books job. He also misses his son which is quite understandable. The child was petitioned for as well, but lets just say the childs mother is "a stay @ home mom with negativity in her heart". So wish us luck where the petitioning is concerned.
Apart from that, he loves it here & most of all, being with me day in & day out.

Dens, I'm confident by next week your SO will have his visa.
In regards to Kingston & country, my SO & I are from St Elizabeth. But when we are ready, we drive to Kingston. It's a typical city, ALOT going on. I'm a party person so if country is quiet, str8 2 town we go. Due to the drive, that isn't all the time.

Good Morning all!!!! I can't believe Haiti had another earthquake. That is really mind boggling. When I was pregnant w/my son, I craved taco bells!!! It was to the point where people joked that his father wasn't Jamaican but indeed hispanic the way I needed tacos. I loved the pregnancy shows @ one time as well. I may put it on just now for SO & I to watch. I'd like a daughter. I have my six year old son & a toddler step son. Who knows. Maybe just now. I didn't even start this AOS filing & I'm getting irritated already. I know we were able to get update & obtain his vaccination records & doctor even wrote something for him that he felt would be useful abroad. We also obtained duplicate copies of his & his sons BC.

If you wanted to get started sooner, those forms are online. They're linked to from this site (see Example forms) or on USCIS's site. I usually get to them by googling the form name: I-485, I-131, I-765.

Nat, you're so right. All of the documents I submitted for the k1 were online versions & I typed the answers. I don't know what I was thinking. Actually I know, I read on here about items that will be needed for processing but I want a complete print out of what is needed somewhat b4 hand so I can begin gathering them. But as you suggested & what I did know already, I can get them from link you provided. Thanks Nat for the useful insight.
