Mexico, Latin & South AmericaYardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 3)
DRATS! I made a little over $16,500 in 2006 but in 2003, 2004, and 2005 I made more than $17, 120. So I guess I will need a co-sponser after all :( Man I really wanted to do this all myself and not have to ask anyone such a big thing! Thankfully I have some good friends who are willing to help me out!



Hey thanks for posting this!
Am I reading this right?
My income for 2007 would have to be 13,690?

*fingers crossed*

Noooo...would have to be 17,120

Wait I forgot my alarm clock. I need a roster. The silly Roster when I stay at my hubby always wakes me up at 6am.


Please don't remind me of the natural alarm clock. When I stay at my babes house I wake up to that every morning and my first thought everytime is...... I'm gonna kill that rooster :whistle:



Same here! lol I told Marlon we should kill it and eat it! :innocent:

Ok, I have some questions about the 156, 156K, 157, and DS230 forms for the interview...

There is a space there to add a prepared by name, would it look bad if I prepared the forms for Marlon to sign and include my information as the preparer?

I found a co-sponsor as according to the new poverty guidelines I fell about $600.00 short for 2006 but for the prior years 2003-2005 I made the 125% above the new poverty guidelines. To my understanding from reading the guides, we both need to submit I34 forms, bank letters, employer letters, and tax transcripts from the last 3 years. I have yet to file my 2006 taxes so will they accept 2003-2005 and my W2's for this year?

I called IRS yesterday to request my 2003-2005 tax transcripts and I told they lady that it was for wage verification, is that correct?

When I go to Jamaica next week I am taking Marlon the originals that I submitted for the I29F application as well as the letters he sent me and my birth certificate, hopefully I will get those back!

How many passport photos does Marlon need for the medical and interview?

Phew thanks and sorry for soooo many questions!

Bad news: Tony's grandma just passed away :crying: He wants to go down there but we really can't afford it right now. I feel really bad. It's so hard having all his family sooooo far away :( If we hadn't just went to Barbados, we could probably do it, but I don't know what to do. The cheapest flight I could find was over $500 :o Please keep us and his family in your thoughts and prayers.



I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you and Tony. (F)

As for the question asked of where I will be staying, in Clarendon. The nearest city I think is May Pen. Hope I can at least do a couple of Visa transactions, perhaps Dunn's River Falls accepts Visa?

Stupid question:
If I take tuna and vienna sausages in cans, will they explode?

Can I ask about the packet 3 and 4? In one of the forums there is a sample interview packet, but it seems specific to the Poland Embassy. Is there a sample for Kingston or are the packets the same no matter which embassy?

What is packet 3 and what is packet 4? I thought there was only one pre-interview packet, with all of the documents that I have sent in (sealed) and the forms that need to be completed for the interview. :help:


Welcome jlvr!
I just sent you a PM with some information. Hope that it helps.


Would you mind sending me a pm with that info as well? I am just trying to think ahead. Thanks :D

Michele - Congrats on the new job!

Julie - Hi, I don't know you but you got a beautiful baby :D

Everyone else... HI!

I have been busy with assignments, trying to get them done before I go to Jamaica! :blink:

I have some what may seem silly questions about my upcoming trip:

1) Is it wierd if I take my own food with me? Not that i don't like JA food cuz I do but foods like mac & chz, ramen noodles, canned tuna etc.

2) Are there any places in the countryside that take VISA debit cards?

3) I will be bringing some video games for the PS2 as well as a couple of movies to keep me busy when Marlon goes to the boring garage, can I have these on my carry-on?

4) I plan on buying Marlon a package of boxer briefs and socks, is alright to keep them in their packages?

I just want to make sure that this trip is a little moe comfortable for me than the last one, hence why I am bringing video games cuz Marlon's games are eh! lol

Thanks in advance for you responses and I am very glad to be apart of this wonderful group of people! (L)

Hello my Yardie family!
My sister is well (thanks Michelle for the email)! She went home yesterday. I guess that breathing problem she was afflicted with was respitory failure attributed to her Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). I am so relieved that she pulled through!

Thank you all for your support and kind wishes, I KNOW that they helped!

Now I is just waiting for my trip to be with my honey :D

I will adopt anyone :D
And yes it is stand-by but I am prepared! It is US Airways and if there are any seats in First Class, it's only $20.00 to upgrade, I've never flown first class hmmmmm....

Yes, the deal of the century! I am very grateful, I didn't plan on returning to Jamaica until May but for some reason an idea popped into my head to go since I don't have class. Back to roughing it but I am so looking forward to it!

On a sad note, my oldest sister is in the hospital. She went in last night with bad respitory problems, almost like my mom had before she passed. Pam is stable for now but on a ventilator. My oldest sister Cindy the RN from Kansas City is flying in tonight or tomorrow to kick some ICU butt cuz I guess they are not doing the right treatment on my sister. I asked God to please not take my sister from me as he already took my mom less than 4 months ago. Please pray for me and I will keep you all posted.

Thanks and God Bless!

BTW, does anyone on this forum who lives in the Maryland/DC area know of a good immigration attorney? I just received a letter from the Embassy of Jamaica addressed to my Senator's inquiries about our case, and it was just as I suspected--THEY HAVE LIED AND MESSED UP!! But, what's good now is that I have written documented proof about the discrepancies and lies from the Visa chief himself---so now---I'm ready to wage war against these people!! :diablo: :ranting: :protest: :angry:

####### crap #######

I realized that I am an idiot and made my check out to California Service Center rather than Department of Homeland Security! :crying: Please tell me I am okay?

Also I am confused about my W2's:
In the section that states Social Security Wages the amount is higher than the amount in Wages, tips, and other allocations, do I use the upper number? If that is the case I made around $240.00 more than the 125% poverty amount, I hope I won't need a co-sponsor? :help:

I am wondering if Neil needs to summit a letter of intent also?? Or was that something that only the petitioner does? I am scrambling around trying to make sure that I have everything together.


To my understanding he did need one for the I29F but since you have your NOA2, just make sure he has one. There's a basic sample under forms.

I Chat card - I purchased this card last night and when I called Jamaica on the LAND LINE it said I had $18.87 and 281 minutes

I spoke to him for 19 minutes and 49 seconds. When I called the number back it said I had $15.10 that figures to 20 cents per minute when they advertise 6 cents per minute. then when I went to call and find out today it said I had a balance of $14.65 which means while I was sleeping last night they took 45 cents from me. I couldn't get in touch with anyone today! I'll try on my lunch.

I'm mad at this card!!!!!!!!!!! :ranting: :ranting: :bonk:



OMG, The same thing happened to me! I Chat is so teef! :angry:



I bought the $10 card and I too noticed a rapid and magical decline in minutes. I will say that at least the card is cheaper than the $1.09 per minute I WAS paying!

What's up yaardies fam!

I will keep you posted with further plans--and if any of you are down there and want to drop by--FEEL FREE!!! I'm actually more excited now about the wedding being down there and having my family and friends experience all of the joy, beauty, and love that is JAMAICA!


I am so glad to hear that you guys are NOT giving up! I am so excited about your future wedding plans! Yay!

I found a phone card for 7 cents a minute. It is on the web site http://www.therichcom.com/ and I used the I Chat phone card. IDT was painful at 25 cents a minute pinzoo still painful. I wanted to find a price like the old IDT card and I did. This will save us a few pretty pennys.

Playoffs are on in a half hour whoopie!! Even though the Bears are off I want to see who is going to win today in the wildcard playoffs..

Take Care


Wow! Thanks so much for telling us about this site! I just signed up and I will be trying a card out soon! Is the access number local or a 1-800? Also, are there any hidden fees after the phone call is completed?


No hidden fees at all. They will call you to verify your information like street address and name. Then you can go back on the site and purchase.

It didn't help me as much as I would've liked it to. Ended up finding out more info on my own.


She also went on to say that someone had recommended her to the site, but she found it basically useless to her....well naturally, I took offense, because I think this entire website has been one of the best things that I have ever found, and everyone in this forum has been extremely open and helpful...so I responded by just letting everyone know all the different kinds of helpful and useful information that could be found up here, how there was a network just for folx from the caribbean, and how everyone on the site has been helpful and how it is probably one of the best places to go if you want to know ANYTHING about the immigration process, before during, and after!! I really kinda think of this place as another family, and I'm actually surprised at how defensive I felt!!! Anyhoo, I'm off to work, so I'll talk to you later. Hope everyone has a nice day!![/quote]

Probably not a good idea to chat about someone when said person (me) can actually see what you wrote.

I stand by what I said. I have looked through this site many times and still stand by my previous statements. I did not find this site as useful as others have expressed. I am sorry for that. Didn't say it was not helpful to everyone and anyone....just not me. Things that were said on here are the opposite of what we experienced. Maybe it is just my case. Maybe it is just the centers/embassy/whatever we went through. Who knows.

Yes, I did go through the process. My husband currently holds a 2 year Green card, a social security card, a MO State ID, and a driver's permit. I must've done something right.

No need to knock me for my opinion.

OMG! Nice to see you here! *hugs*
I will be PMing you soon for some information :)

Use DHL or Fedex, it can fit in a regular letter size envelope. I have sent fiancee cds like this. Put his contact # on the package.

NEVER EVER, send regular mail or regular USPS Priority Mail. It took a month to get to fiancee. Since this mistake Ive used DHL & Fedex. Fedex was around 30 dhl was 40.00. Dont sent anything in a box, customs with DHL will hold it & charge you excessively to have fiancee pick up & pay fees. Send a letter size packet.
