I am hanging in there. Suppose to have surgery on the ankle on Monday. AJ can't hold the ticket after June 24. So I can either pay the $100 change and also the new ticket price or loss the the money.
According to the doctor traveling may not be the best option but she will give me a note so my husband can take to the embsssy. That is if we get an interview for July.

Hey Guys;

Just checking in to see if anyone but Trulo has received a June interview date, seeing that we are well past the second week of the month. Any good news?

Hello Marlita,

I have asked my husband to check a place called Alhambra Inn which is about 5 minute drive to the US Embassy. I would say to be careful staying too far with such an early morning appointment and trying to get transportation.
How long were you planning on staying in Kingston?

I want to THANK everyone for all their prayers, well wishes, and congrates. We really appreciate everyone's support and will continue to need that support as we go to the last leg of the journey.

Does anyone know or have started a thread with the information needed or 'should have' for the interview?

Please share.

Thanks

Wanda

Hello My VJ sisters,

I am finally able to return and chat. If you remember my husband was thinking about going back to Jamaica.

Well I now concluded there is such a thing as MALE MENOPAUSE.

He has now come back to his senses and all is well again.

Thanks for everyone's advise/concern.

BTW...How has everyone been today?

Forbes has he been back to Jamaica recently? Maybe if he goes back for a visit it isn't all he is glamorizing in his head. I know a lot of men do that and then when they go back they say they can never live there.



The last time he went was January 2009. I wouldn't him going as long as he can find the money. Cause as I searched the tickets are about $300.

To be continued.....


Part 2

Some people are not going to like this but IMO

Ok maybe you should explained to him. i dont want to live some where.. where life as I am used to.. is not always secure. The options America leaves for people are unbelievable. Some Jamaicans dont agree with the culture of American and thats fine, you can have Jamaican culture in America. Some people are not used to getting everything the american way.. and dont wish to bend to anything else. One thing about the US, you can do any rass thing you set your mind on in this country, and actually make money off it. And i love that.. in jamaica. the smallest idea can take you some place.. but it will never take you to far.. unless you hussle your way. The jamaica his parents grew up in is gone. For good... the jamaica he probably grew up in is getting worse, not better, and the main reason is= all the educated are leaving (SMH), and not coming back to make it better, so if he want to go back he should stay and make that money and maybe one day he will realize he love his country enough to try and return to help it out. Not go back because its easier. But one thing is and this is so true Americans are lazy and a Jamaican can have alot here because of their work ethic.


Be blessed momma and Pray because got can change the heart of all. (F)


Thanks. I think that you are right some Jamaicans do go back because it is easier. I am not from Jamaica so I can't tell how life is there. My family is from the Bahamas and I know right now alot of them are catching h*ll with companies and hotels closing/laying off all the time.
I can only pray that God steps in and show us the way.

Thanks again.

Very good points.

I believe he thought that when he came here and started working he would make thousands $ and fly back home whenever.

Hi! So sorry you are going through this...I'm going to piggy back on what Tee and JG said...I pray this is something you both can work out together...what is his game plan for when he returns to JA?



I guess go back to the life he had before. Working for the same boss and being able to say and do whatever he liked. The problem he can't seem to adjust to here. In the US there are rules and consequences to your actions. If you cuss your boss out he can fire you...lol

Wow, thats even harder because he is probably set in his ways...How would you feel about moving back to JA? Is that even an option?


:blink: Oh my well maybe you need to rethink drinkin and making promises mi sista lol



Me moving to Jamaica was never an option. I have a disabled mother. He knew my life going into the relationship.
Oh yes he is set in his ways. He has these big plans and I guess he is now realizing some of them will need to be scaled down.
Maybe he thought he would hit the lottery by this time...lol

Im not sure exactly what to advise you on this, but he needs to realize that any time you make a "major" change in life you are going to have ups and downs... How old is he, if Im not being too personal? You just need to get it through his head that you had to make sacrifices to help him get here and now he needs to make sacrifices to stay here with you....I want to say more but I really don't know everything.. I hope things work out for you (F)



He is 48 y/o and I am 40. We have been married since 2006

Hello All,

Today I am just tired. My husband is driving me up a wall. He claims he wants to move back to Jamaica as he can't take the stress of living in the US. I am to the point that maybe it is best because I can't take the stress of him stressing me out.
I thought by now he would have adjusted (going on 2 years) but just about everyday I hear, "JA is so much better. No stress, You can do what you want when you want".

Mind you I explained to him when he came:
1) We are now in a recession so finding a job won't be easy....He got a job at a prestigous hospital.
2) The money they are paying now is not the best....Most jobs are not paying high pay rates but want twice the work.
3) Make sure you explain to your daughter that you will not be able to take care of her forever. She needs to get a job...We are still paying for the granddaughter and her.
4) The plans I had for my life in the US is not going well...Continue to pray and when it is your time. It's your time.
5) So many bills... Yes if you had listen to me instead of your so call 'new friends' you would not have those bills.

Help Me!!!!

Hi all,


Just got the wonderful news that my case (I-130) has been received at the NVC. I actually got an email from them stating it was received with my assigned NVC case number. The funny thing was that the email was a reply to an inquiry I emailed them about. I wrote them asking if they received my case since it was approved by email on Dec 11, 2007 and it's going on 3 weeks and I haven't received the NOA2 by mail. I was always checking the automated system and I would get the same message that it either has not been received or I input the incorrect case number. Up to yesterday I was still getting this message, but then today the message stated my case was entered January 3, 2008. Hmmmm.....

I just want to know if anyone has have their case received at NVC but still haven't received the NOA2 by mail yet? I'm giving them until 30 business days from the approval notice before I contact them again as I was advise to do so. Also is this notice relevant? Does the beneficiary have to bring this to the interview?

Well Hello Tash,

I see we are in the same boat. I filed July 12,2007 and received NOA2 notice December 14, 2007. I recently found out our case was received by the NVC on January 4, 2008. I just read the guides for what will happen next so I have begun gathering information my husband will need to complete his paperwork/forms. I just realized the differences between K3 and IR1/CR1. I plan to attend the interview when it happens. God willing and spare our lives.
Hope all go well real soon.
