Good morning ladies,

Hope everyone has a good Friday. I'm so on this board and totally didn't realize there was a bombing here. i think it happened yesterday morning?? Ugh

I'm so glad I work closer to home now, it would still be a hike,, but i think i would just have to walk over one of the bridges and then I'd be good. and it is sad that i even have to think about stuff like this, but when looking for work, this is what i thought about, how long would it talk me to walk home... On 9/11 it took me three hours to wa;k home. but then i had no kids, now it's different.



I watch GMA every morning and saw about the bombing. I guy on a bike through a pipe bomb at the recruiting center in Times Square... It was yesterday morning at like 4am.

It is different with kids for sure.

I was pregnant and a mile from the Pentagon on 9/11 ... I was bawling all day. And then kept having crazy dreams where fighter jets and tanks were all over Alexandria VA! I am emotional as it is .. but pregant too... I was a mess!!!

I have to admit, just by looking at photos even in this thread, I often have a 'notion'.
So far, some have already broken up, there is one I think is DEFINITELY gone as he gets his green card and about 3 other 'hmmms'.....

But the way I look at it, who the hell I am to look at a photo and tell you that he's out for what he can get?

With my friends, I tell them ONCE and leave it.

They are grown, if they can't hear, they will feel.

My good good friend constantly cheats on her husband, she loves him but she says she can't help it.
So I just keep out of it, and ask her to keep me out of it.
Lied for her once when she put me on the spot, but NEVER again.....



Do you think that voicing something like this puts you in the same category as those people who look at a Rasta and automatically assume he's smokes or something in that same vein?



I think with her voicing her opinion she is just telling the truth. It seems she knows she shouldn't judge a book by the cover ("who the hell am I ...") but I think we all do sometimes.
I dont take offense and I know Louis doesn't either... about thinking Rasta smoke. I for one never met one that didn't ...

Liat always ran great prices between Barbados and St. Lucia - And they discount the flight if you book online http://www.liatairline.com/

I agree with Kim...make an appt to pick up a copy of the packet. Better safe than sorry.



O.k. tell me i'm not Crazy but I just hung up with Dave and guess what?........

He GOT Packet 4 with the letter in it today kicking.gif


And I was just about to email the embassy so i'm glad that's over for now LOL



That sounds like great news!

But this makes me ask more questions. If you all knew me .. I ask too many ... I like to be sure and sometime reading the guides doesnt do the trick, someone needs to tell me.

After the NVC sends info to Barbados... Barbados sends package to Louis?? Right?? Then he fills out stuff and sends back and then they send him the interview date?

I am sorry you all must think I am crazy ... BUT THIS IS MY LIFE and I wanna get it right.


:-)
Thanks again!!!

i am really not sure how it works with Barbados..they should send him a "packet 3" with the paperwork...and he sould have to somehow give them a ds-230 to schedule the interview....but i really am not sure if that is how it works for them....

Hey Irie,

I don't know how it works in Barbados but I followed everything Gill (DEYOUNGTING) and JALove told me to do for me and Dave and everything went pretty smooth.

It took me awhile to catch on that all they "Really" need to schedule this interview was that DS230 Part I cause I just figured there had to be a catch but that's EXACTLY what happened. Soon as Barbados gets his case I would say try to get him a date and time to drop off the DS230 in person.....if they allow that there.

You can download it and fill it out now and have him sign it etc.



Thanks! He wont make it to Barbados though until the medical and interview. Will stay a few days fpr both. Too much money otherwise to fly back and forth.

I hope Barbados will be easy. I have heard Bajans can be rude. I know I shouldnt go on rumors but it worries me still. I wish I could be at the interview with him. Maybe I will get that nice rebate check from BUSH just in time to go.



My experience with my ex was not difficult - they were easy to deal with. I would email the embassy - they were very responsive. If I am not mistaken, once I had NOA2 my ex went into the embassy with it and picked up the packet - I would try sending them an email and asking - they always replied quickly.

If you do decide to go down, I can give you some hints for really inexpensive places to stay -



Thanks! I will e-mail them in the morning.

When Marcel went to get his shot records from the clinic, the damn brite nurse ask him if he smoke GANJA and telling him, "you know they're going to test you for it". He told her NO! A just so im MAGAH and his eyes look red...she was like u SURE!



No sneaking... he is a good man and I trust him for sure. He knows that if we go this far and he gets denied for something so stupid. Ill kick his a##! :-)

Thanks! He is a "preppy" Rasta.. with his salon dreds LOL. He dresses well, carries himself well... I am sure he will wear the "doughnut" for the interview. (dreds all wrapped in a bun).
They dont have to assume!! wink wink .. I know he loves me...no smoke for 2 months now!!

Tierra may be pretty .... but there are HORNS under those curls!!

Please please PLEASE impress upon him not to admit smoking ganja EVER EVER EVER....Not that he HAS of course!



He will not - ever! He is very smart. Good loocking out though... thanks!

Making progress on your petition?


I have to get the pics from my trip last month developed and get the intent to marry letter notarized and I'm good to go.



Oh That letter - I have to write that letter. You know I thought I would get an RFE on the one for the I129f. All I did was print out the form... I signed and and gave one to Louis ... he signed. No nice sweet letters of how much we looove each other! LOL ... I guess they didnt care much for it that time around.

Now I will write the mushy one... just me right???

Do you think people who post here are really genuine,How much of whats posted here matters? It's obviously not just for immigration info. blush.gif Just wondering what your thoughts are.



I think its nice just to chat or listen to people who are going through the same or something similar to yourself. I think people in general like to know that they have something in common with other people. It makes you feel better about yourself.

Not too mention there is some good advise and good laughs on here.

for either reason because they thought your s/o wasn't going to make u happy, he was using you or because you were happy??



When I was with my daughter's sperm donor (wink) I lost so many friendships. That was my fault. I let him isolate me. But they were my real friends and I got them all back. They just couldnt stand there and watch me life go down the tubes....

I think I have an agreement with all my close girlfriends... if our man is messing around and we know it - we tell. And always give our honest opnion about boyfriends, husbands whatever.... I have known my 3 best friend since kindergarten!

OK, my question for the day is suppose you had a friend who was in a relationship and for whatever reason, you thought the man was using her.
You have no hard evidence, but you just have STRONG misgivings.
DO you tell her?
Or since you have no hard facts, do you just leave it alone???

If a friend told you that she thought your SO was using you, but had no evidence, how would you react?
Would you prefer she said nothing without hard facts to back it up?



I would tel her, but it's all about the timing. don't tell her when they are all lovey dovey, wait until she complaining about something he did and then say something like. yeah i notice he always does such and such and keept it moving. she may not agree with you are say anything at all, but she will start thinking about it.



That is a good idea... make her think it is her that saw the light!

Sorta in that situation now with my best friend. I know the guy she is trying to have a realtionship with is an A##. She sends him money, gifts for his kids etc ... (he is Lucian). There is nothing I can say to her though. I mentioned a couple times to her my thoughts and her reaction was just not to tell me what goes on with them anymore. I guess we have to figure things out for ourselves...

My friends to questions Louis' intentions but they have never met him. Thankfully I know they will give him a chance to prove them wrong. I just continue to tell them to "wait and see".

We all know the truth. Sometimes we have to open our minds to see it.

All I can say is "know your SELF-WORTH"----know your SELF-WORTH


This is so true - and every woman has her point in life when she recognizes her own self worth - Whether it is a simple thing that someone says (whether it's realistic or not), or whatever happens to make her take a hard look at herself - From that moment forward, there is no turning her back.

I have been through the abusive relationship, the cheater - you name it. I have a friend right now who is in and out of an abusive relationship - it breaks my heart to see, but she knows that I am there for her when she needs me. However, I truly believe that everyone has their own individual wall - eventually you hit it and realize that it's enough for you, but until that time, nothing anyone says to you makes a difference.


Co-sign Sus,

I've been there too and no matter how man times people try to talk you out of your relationship, you have to be ready.


I've not typed it enough 10 bbclaat YEARS! I'm glad I survived and was able to walk away.


Ladies, I have been there too. My daughter's father tried to kill me (strangle) when I was nearly 9 months pregnant. I begged him to let me live for Tierra....The other day when you all were talking about your kids looking like people you talk about (something like that) it made me think about when T's dad held me down and pressed his hand into my side.... I swear to God that Tierra has a birthmark in the same place and it makes me happy actually. Reminds me of my strength.
Now my best friend likes a man I know beat past women and I told her and even after she saw what I went through it does not stop her from pursuing him. Nothing I can say to her will make her change her mind because "it won't happen to her"..... I pray it doesn't!!!

Yes, I can agree with that.
But I also feel that the wife doesn`t mean much to them either if they are willing to disrespect her by cheating.


Men will do what they feel they can get away with.

If they were 100% sure the wife would leave, then they wouldn`t...

i can't wait to see the pics 2 night.. i miss seeing ur little ones, those eyes I tell ya..
so how has louis adjusted, besides being cold LOL getting used to the food? he is a vegetarian right?? is he driving??



OMG - don't ask about driving! He is terrible and I don't have the patience to teach him. I would rather drive anywhere he needs to go rather than stress about him being on the road! rofl.gif I think he is getting lessons for Christmas.

Louis is fine. My family LOVES him so he feels welcomed for sure. I am sending in AOS in the next couple weeks (late - I know) - I had to scrape up the money- it has been tight lately.
Louis likes the fall leaves - asked me if they all fall off! My aunt wants to throw him a "first snow" party! We take drives, visit friends all that good stuff. I swear it isnt a HUGE adjustment. Seems like we have been doing this forever. He feels a little out of place sometimes. People are always looking at him becuase he is "different". I told him at least people don't yell things as they drive by and make cat calls etc... (like me being in St Lucia).

All in all - it has been wonderful!

Does not look like she tryin come on her own so, Wed 22nd we will induce u, made me appointment for 6am.

Cat, your pics are wonderful!!! Your daugher is going to be a heart breaker!!



Oh thanks!! She is a ham!

laughing.gif laughing.gif do you use anything special on her hair? i know kaila i still a little one but her hair is soft but just frizzes out....


I use whatever I have. I have not found the perfect solution. She gets a bath at night and I put wet hair up in a knot and in the am just take it down. Somtimes I put a little light oil in it. Could be baby oil or I have some African oil ... whatever is handy! LOL. She is hooked on the Ponytail and wont let me do anything else lately. I slick down the frizzies with oil. Ponytail makes that easy.

Cat, is he staying with you? I think that the address they want for the visa is the address of where he will be staying in the US -

Quana - I am not sure about your friend, sounds like he entered on a VWP - But he overstayed if he is still here - so I think they could file, but he would have to go back to the Bahamas for his interview, and probably get a ban for his overstay, then they would have to file a waiver -

yeah I am not sure I want to do this. He would be staying at a hotel. He works for a local TV station in St Lucia and they have been invited to the US to cover the election but needs a US address to obtain the visa. I would think DBS should take care of this for him but I also have experienced 1st hand how things work down there and it boggles the mind sometimes!?


If his job is sending him - then they should be handling the visa issue, and I wouldn't get involved in it - he should be able to use the hotel address for where he'll be staying


I told him no. Told him I spoke to a lawyer.. wink.gif
I mean the owner of the station lives in the States.. use his address. Doesnt make sense. He would be able to cover any election from my little apartment in MAINE!!!

Pictures are awesome, Cat.

My question about that guy is where is he actually going to live? And, why can't he use that address?

I would be careful here. You are filing AOS.....is it wise to have 2 visas to the same address in the system at the same time?

mi nuh know irie.. i mean they just ask for the address for the place the person would be visiting right?? they don't ask u to be responsible for them in anyway I don't believe. but the vets probably have more insight..

Glad u and Louis are doing well, Congratulations on the wedding honey.. was likkle mama a flower girl??


Yes, she was my flower girl, brides maid ... whatever! :-) Louis, Tierra and I all walked together.

Hello Everyone! I hope you ALL are doing wonderful! There is no way I could read all the way back and catch up... I need a quick review! :-)

Well Louis got here - we got married on August 23rd ... it was a beautiful day, a WONDERFUL day! Everyone got along (my mom and dad LOL).

Things have been going well, it seems like we have been married for years, not just a couple months. We are moving into a bigger apartment November 1st and it is right next door so that will be the easiest move ever! YAY! It will be more space and I am so happy about that.
Louis is already wearing his winter coat so I hate to see him in a few months!!??? The fall has been sunny and actually warmer than usual this year.

Now... I have a question. I am like one of those friends that only calls when they need something!! whistling.gif

Is there any issues involved with someone (that you trust) using your address to obtain a visa to come visit the states? He would only be coming for the time around the election and is one of Louis' former co-workers at the TV station he worked at. They would like him to come cover the election but needs a US Residence to use in order to get his visitors visa. What do you all think about that?


Oh and happy belated SONSHYNE... Libras are awesome!!! :-)
