Lady C



that is so good that you are making your headpiece. I had rented my dress and it was beautiful but the headpiece the wanted me to wear with it was horrible.

I was yellowish and not white and had masking tape on it did I say it was yellow. It looked so horrible that my bestfriend and my sisters was like heck no

My friend from my job made my jewelry.

Earing necklace and a 2 bracelets.

I wore all but the ankle bracelet and my best fried put it in my hair for the head piece.

What do you think



That day is suppose to be the best. i wish I would have known I should have made mine. Congrats girl.

Dec 15th is my late grandmas b-day so that is a very special date. rose.gif


You look beautiful JQ~

You know what I have a problem with that. I can text you and write it in a letter but when it comes to saying it its so hard for me to say it. I think that is something I have to work on I’m not good at communicating my emotions at all.

You know another thing I need to work on? Accepting a how I say this an emotional compliment from the opposite sex (not sure if that is what I wanted to say) Like if you tell me you love me, or your thinking of me or something sweet of that nature I have a tendency to be like shut up no you don't. So many people have told me that when I say that its like a smack in the face to them so they no longer express it and then I'm like you never tell me how you feel.

I know I got issues.


awwe girl and I am the opposite I chat too much LOL we all got our quirks I wouldn't call it issues. You have a natural knack for writing trust me (where is my latest installment wink wink?)

Thanks for that detailed review it really gives us insight as to what they are looking for @ the AOS. It's really deep she targeted him for fraud because of his nervousness and body language, although those are signs to look for, but is obviously displayed in these types of cases. This whole process and interview was sanctioned by the Creator to come through without a hitch so you know there was no reason to worry at all and just to go with the flow. I am so proud of you Quanna, you told the truth and the truth and your love of Roger prevailed. Bless the both of you I am so happy girl your journey is so amazing! heart.gif rose.gif

dillon.. i was so taken back.. i was like..look at all our pictures?? look at the love??? roger couldn't help that he was nervous, he is always a one answer man too, he doesn't ramble like me LOL.. i thought it would be okay cuz i heard so many reviews where the ppl say "don't give too much information, only address whats being asked at that time."
in our case, it was the MORE said the better.. esp the fact that he has such young children.. she need to hear how head over heels he was which he tells me everyday..


this whole immigration stuff is such a dog show.. i mean its the most unnatural thing.. you have to think about everything.. am i being affectionate enough?? am i doing too much???
we held hands in the waiting room, he had his arm around me.. in the interviewing room, i didn't feel it was the time for that.. i should have sat in his lap and he should have gave me a french kiss right in front of her..

so she sat down and goes into her speel about her job to protect the us citizen (here we go)
she explained 2 kinds of fraud... one where the person knowingly usually for money enters into a marriage to assist the foreigner and another, not so recognizable when the us citizen is tricked.. she said this is the worst cuz blah blah blah.. we have ALL heard this before..
i sat quietly as if she was a friend telling me about her job, smiling, even commenting WOW sometimes.. she tells me that either way the punishment is severe and is only on the us citizen which she wishes there were more penalties on the foreigner. she explained penalites saying something about losing benefits and your children losing benefits (????) she said after it passes her desk, there is no going back that a person who has ANY thoughts that there marriage may not be real has a chance to turn back w/ her without any fear of retaliation from the foreign spouse..

i thanked her for sharing that information and explained that i have seen that fraud first hand which is why it took me so long to accept roger into my life, that i did not want to show my children another messed up relationship and as their example i wanted to show them a marriage they would want to pattern their own after..

so she tells me that many times that is the case, but she has seen it over and over again. and she believes that HE is out to have his family come after he has been married to me for 2 years..

my mouth dropped, all this time she was speaking generally altho i knew what was implied, but now she has called my husband out.. i said, "ROGER??????"

yes.. i believe if they are not already here, they are coming and that is the plan, the childrens mother may already be here married to someone else and when they finish their 2 years married to you and her petitioner, then they will marry each other.. if they are not already married..

i laughed and told her that the only phone we have is mine and i answer it, they are calling from Jamaica.. 876 area code.. their relationship is a rocky one and has been since i met him 2 years ago, but they get along for their children
she said, does he speak another language while on the phone..
i told her not normally, but yes he does speak patois and i am very knowledgeable about the language, enough to understand the jist of a conversation,
i told her i know i sound like all the other women that come thru her office and are mistaken about their husbands intentions but i have not gone into this blindly..

she said it is her job to watch body language, thats why the seats are so far away.. she said roger was very nervous..

i said, most ppl are in this situation..

she said he was shaking as he gave her documents, even demonstated LOL (roger still says he wasn't and i dont' recall that) he was unusually anxious

she said she is only saying all this cuz its her job and i have children and sometimes the children are overshawdowed ..

i told her again, that i thank her for her words.. she said she will let him sit out there and sweat a lil more and started to ask me ssa questions.. i gave her better answers that i give the ppl i deal w/ everyday LOL
she gave some advice about the kids getting along w/ roger and i talked w/ her about my kids and their bipolar dad LOL.. and she said she guess she have let him sweat enough..

she said she would scare him and say, she asking are u cooking dinner tonight.. i told her.. oh he cooks everyday so thats not a good one.. she said oh he does..

so she brought him in and said... so ur wife says ur a good cook.. he said, EXCELLENT lol.. i said tell her bout thanksgiving baby..
so he told her that he made curry chicken and rice and peas, and it was all gone before all the rest of the food..
she said curry chicken was her favorite dont' get her started.. she said she loves ELAINES..this jamaican food restaurant..
it was such a coincedence cuz we were going there right after the interview!!! and told her and that we could bring her a plate.. she laughed and hit our paperwork and said APPROVED LOL..

we talked bout the restaurant a bit moren and then she said that she was approving our i130 and our i485 and that we had to file for LOC in 2 yrs.. we shook her hand and left

roger said that he wished she would have asked him stuff after he sat out, cuz all the stuff came flooding to him, i told him don't worry about it.. we will get them at LOC.

i am happy, but i wanted her to walk away believing in us, in our marriage.. i wanted to convince her and we didn't she tacked us as another fraud case.. if she approved us, dyam who do they deny
???? LOL

roger said if she had denied us, it would have been like going to jail and you know you didnt do the crime.. their goes that eloquence?? where was it 10 min ago??? LOL

oh well, Praise the Lord anyhow!!!

so she asks roger what did about me did he fall in love with? roger said, she is caring and loving, sweet, and i just love her..

she says, so when you met her, what about her personality did you like so much? he said that we had so much in common, she is very big on family , she is very good w/ kids, she fit like a glove (fit like a glove LOL)

the lady asked the THIRD TIME.. what about her PERSONALITY.. besides she is good w/ kids and she fit like a glove..

i am looking at him just smiling sweetly, but thinking.. Weh deh all di bumbaclaat Jamaican love talk ya always spitting dangit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol this is not the time to be to the point and private.. spill ya guts man!


LOL he was nervous and understandably the whole process is nerve wracking!

QUOTE (dancehallquana @ Dec 1 2009, 11:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i think he said caring and loving again.. (my poor baby.. his tongue was on LOCK)

so she turns to me and asks me what about him do i love.. i break it down how God sent me the characteristics i had been missing in past relationships and had prayed for.. it was a waiting to exhale moment OKAY lol..
i told her he was quick to recognize his faults and apologize w/out prompting, sensitive to my feelings, enjoyed talking, she interuppted and said HE DOES?????? dyam lol
i told her well, i mean, he likes talking about problems and not letting them stew..
she said that was nice, most men don't do that.
then my baby comes in.. yes.. i don't like to go to sleep angry or let her go to work in a bad mood, we should resolve any problems right away.. You go baby!!!!!

so she asked roger again when we met... he said it,, and she said and your parents live in FL.. he sat there confused.. i was like SAY NO!!!! he finally was like no ma'am the are in JA.. she said oh i thought you said you were visiting your parents in FL.. last year..
WE BOTH had said visiting family, but she was talking to roger i waited for him to explain and then i chimed in w/ him and said.. no we said FAMILY

so she asked him about his kids, there ages, did he talk to them, did he send them money..
she asked me was i aware at the time his baby mama became pregnant w/ the youngest child.. UH OH..
i told her not at first but of course we were not talking during that time.. we had "broken up" when we did reconnect, he did tell me reluctantly, but of course i had my own skeletons in the closet so i chose to continue the relationshop..

so then she asked roger to step outside to talk to me.. i assumed she is gonna do a stokes interview where she sees if both of us come up w/ same answers separately.. his toothbrush color, what side of bed he sleeps on .. come on.. IM READY!!!

but as she comes back in from showing roger to the door, she says she wants to talk to me.. and i feel like this is something VERY different.


Uh oh I am on the edge of my seat......

good morning everybody!


well our approval was quite bittersweet both roger and I agree.. we feel happy that we got approved, but kind of not happy because we feel the interview could have went a little better. We prepared for a onslaught of questions, had quizzed each other quite often, but our interviewer only asked a few questions to open up a dialogue.. I, making a living talking to people plus im a bit longwinded anyway, picked up on tha cue, I talked and talked and gave exampes... but Roger being so nervous and he's not much of a talker anyway, the words would not just come out! LOL i saw hum struggling and i wanted to help so bad but i didn't know if that would make things worse. i didnt want to look like i was coaching him.. will give more details in a bit..

Thanks be to God who has our end prepared for us despite our lack of wisdom, strength, charm or intellect.. I know for sure what he had put together no man shall separate.

QUOTE (dancehallquana @ Dec 1 2009, 11:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
okay so we arrive at the place 30 min early for 11:30 appt.
we had skimmed the dallas uscis reviews and felt we were very prepared.. all knowledge about each other families, our children, our journey had been rehearsed and re rehearsed.. we both were confident.. i was just a lil on edge cuz i hate the NOT KNOWING factor.. will it be a nice person, a mean person, will they try to trick us.. i told roger to stick to his answers cuz ive read where they try to trick you..
We prayed that God would bless our nerves cuz the approval was definate in our eyes so we just wanted to be stress free while we wait on it.

we go thru the security checks, go upstairs to the receptionist and she gives us a restaurant style buzzer.. there are about 6 couples and/or families waiting. I read where sometimes u wait 45 min AFTER your designated time so i tried to relax.. i could tell roger was a lil anxious.. he kept looking at his watch as it got closer to the time.. he said everytime an interviewer came to pick up someone "maybe its our time" i said baby??? all this ppl been waiting and we gonna get called b4 them??? he laughed and said, maybe they are here real early (???) LOL..

so anyway more ppl got called and looked like the appt were going real fast..ppl would be out in a matter of min, MOST ppl had lawyers, i was like. PSHHH we got VJ!!!!

so our time came, the interviewer was an older caucasion woman, she smiled which alot of them did not, so i felt good. I noticed the chairs were VERY far from her desk. not very inviting, but hey this is an interview right. i didn't sweat it.. she swore us in, asked us for our id's and passports, asked for original divorce decree, marriage license and our birth certificates.

asked us did we have children, asked roger for his children's bc's which he told her he didn't have, asked him where and with whom do they live.

she turned to me and asked how we met.. i beamed and gave her my account..she asked how did we keep in contact all this time, i told her

she turned to roger and asked how does he get along w/ children.. he said, Good, we get along.. she tried to goad him a bit to say more, but he said again, we are good, everythings good

i braved butting in when he didn't say much and said that roger cooks for them and is always trying to play good cop when i want to punish them.. that there has been obstacels of course being a step family but things are progressing well. roger says, yes, we are doing alot better now.. (go baby)

she mentioned to roger that this will require alot more effort on his part than the kids (WOW, just what i told him a mnth ago, but moving on)

She asked for proof of joint residency WHAT???? i was ready to give proof of RELATIONSHIP but i explained to her that w/out his ssn which we just got last week, i could not put him on my lease or bank account, the only utility i have (water is paid w/ rent) is electric and they would not put 2 names on it. i don't have cable or internet. switch to positives... i told her I do have a insurance record showing that he is my spouse (get up, hoping she doesn't tell me to sit back down, and hand her the proofs) that i have cards and emails from family and friends, and pictures of course from our long 2 year courtship and marriage.

she looks thru it and asks roger when did we meet again? he tells her, and how did we keep in contact..
she said so ya'll talked continually all that time..
i told her bout the stint in which we did not talk and were "broken up" i wanted to put everything out there and im glad i did, cuz this is where it all went downhill...


Oh boy Quanna.....now this is suspense fi real what happened unsure.gif !

Hey Everyone!

After forgetting my password I gave in and re-set it, so I'm back. First of all CONGRATS to MY2, Quana, and Bunz. Also I know some new ladies recently got approvals, so congrats to them too. Sorry I don't know all of your names yet. Oh and also Congrats to Nat on her wedding. I loved the coordinated outfts in JA colors.

As for me.. I had a nice wedding and am so happy to be married. Heavensent came and she is such a sweetie.

I waited too long on getting Vaughn his SS so now we have to wait for his work permit. I'm working on getting his AOS package out but I'm not as motivated with him by my side plus the $1,010 fee. Of course I want/need him to stay so I'll get it together this week.

I look forward to getting back into the mix.

Oh, and how could I forget. Finesse- Congats on the IDENTICAL twin girls!! I would love to have that. What names are you thinking? I know you had a boy/girl twin names, but what about for two divas??



Hey Brook I loved your pics girl but where are the wedding pics, I am salivating waiting for the fabulousness yes.gif

Rant:

So my husbands daughters mom, is so weird that she has dropped my step daughter off with my mother in law. While the baby has the flu when it was raining Friday because she wanted to party this weekend.

So to her surprise when she went to pick up the baby this morning (ok she has to be at school so she picked her up at 9am)((what is she thinking))
She was told that the daughter will not be going back to her house. She was screaming and acting a fool.


This is the same girl that still has no job and looks for my husbands paycheck for life

So if the daughter is not with her she cant get paid.

Not to mention she is sick and skinny as heck.

I am so glad that the case is going to be complete soon. We got her passport and my brother in law is sending it.


My baby needs to be with me I will show her love rose.gif

Mawning Ladies , just come back from Black Friday shopping. We were at Target 4:45 am to get the 40 inch flat screen TV and WE GOT IT YAY!

The only thing mi really defend today is my new Louis bag oooh I am so excited going to pick it up later on I am too tired to do anything else now......I am so tired from all the cooking yesterday and the phockery my oldest son acted a damn fool like he didn't want to eat any food we cooked. Mi cyaa bodda puhlease he must be really hungry I know LMAO!!!

I am so thankful this year for employment when so many people seek work, my health, my family even though dem pickney a pain in mi raas I love them and they will one day see the light and realize family is most important. Of course I am so very thankful my Husband is here by my side to share our lives together under one roof! Last year I was so miserable wishing he was here and counting down the days till the next day I was able to see him now he is here Praise GOD!

To all the Ladies that are still waiting just stay in prayer the wait is not easy but it is surely worth it, this time during the process is nothing in comparison to the lifetime you will have together. wub.gif

Ok going to do some laundry and go jog some of this turkey off mi raas LOL and get back in gear with my healthy eating today which is not easy after that fabulous meal yesterday and all the leftovers staring me in the face ph34r.gif, blink.gif but I have a goal to reach so I must stay focused!

U too why are you leaving us??? crying.gif

O.k. if all the oldie but goodies leave who will be around to help with the newbies?? unsure.gif


Probably my hormones speaking but if I posted something negative...everyone would have responded. Not that we need a standing ovation but lasting 5 years is great in my opinion. These marriges could be very challenging.

It seems newbies are only worried about the visa not what happens after. They don't want advise from the vets. Getting the visa is the easy part. Back in the day, we would share the good, bad and the ugly. We fought, made up and kept it moving. Now people are afraid to share because of other people feelings. We all supported each other. It seems newbies only support other newbies. I have not been on here much lately but I try to support everyone.


Off my soapbox.



Amen, sister.

But, in defense, newbies think the visa is the challenging part cause they don't know better yet. It's all good. Be happy while you can and fight the challenges when you have to. No one wants their relationship not to work so they are on the love high. It's ok. We have all been there. I always hope no one has to go through the bad and ugly. But, if they do, they know the vets are here to say we've seen it all before and we've seen people survive it all. This is what they did............

Shemmy, I know how you feel. Having been through the good, the bad, and the downright nasty, I get discouraged on here sometimes. But, I keep my optimism. Not everyone is me. I still believe in love and LDRs that can work out. That's why I'm still here. Not that I would ever do it again; but I want to watch the happenings and congratulate people on their good fortune. I can't live in a world of negatives.


I echo JG's sentiments as well but each individual has their own journey and will learn from their own trials tribulations and mistakes. I have seen alot of discouraging things happen on this board from arguments between members, backbiting and plain old ignorance but there is always some positivity from our thread let alone the many friendships that we have formed along the way. All we can do is be there to share and learn about this journey from each other, you can never control others actions just see it as it is. Don't leave because you have so much to offer us, you have journeyed and are a testament that there is calm after the storm. 5 years is a splendid achievement and I am so envious thank you for sharing how you feel today but I hope that like you say it is just hormones and you plan to bestow more of your knowledge on us VJers so we can see how its done correctly!

Happy Holiday everyone I am outta here Be good Ladies star_smile.gif

You can tell you all are slackers. Everyone keeps pushing the updates on me. Who says I want to update Mrs Palmer she has been at home getting her rooks off and she just left us VJ woman all alone….. You should see her post on FB chat bout how she is getting her groove on. Cha!!! Me so vexed wit her!!!! (and jealous too but don’t tell her)

This isn’t for Mrs Palmer but I will recap. Can someone tell her that she might want to go back and read because Quana posted her interview story and its good. Her interviewer kicked her man out the room to tell Quana that she might be making a mistake but Q know her man lub her so screw the interviewer.

Lady C and Char have been missing today because there men soon to arrive.

Nat is over the hill in love and she sent Steven out to play in the snow today.

Spangles is going to JA and she anent coming back without her man.

Philly’s son was on the porch making it rain on some young stripper chic. Well that was until Philly went and broke up the party.

MsTee’s class ended up not rolling her in the Thanksgiving quilt but MsTee still has not showed us any pics. Me tink she busy putting moves on her sweetie instead of sewing the quilt.

Finese is having double trouble girls and she got pissed because I told her no one is going to get anything off her registry.

Dillon’s baby daddy called her on the phone chat bout how em pickney dat’s almost a teenager now. She put her hubby on the phone to knock his steam out his sail.

Tre was eating lunch yesterday and got sick when JQ posted pics of Lil Wane and a big girl with a bucket of chicken.

Oh JQ told us about the time her GF tried to ruin her wedding and she made her own head piece because the one she was going to wear was all yellow and torn.

JG was at the firehouse waiting on her man in his uniform shirt with nothing underneath and she had two poles in front of her but she was afraid to do a striper dance for him.

Dens is sad her boo might not get an interview till next month but we told her to calm dung he soon come. Bunz finally got a interview date for Jan Thank You Jah and Heavesent‘s man is here too.

Oh JAP is back form JA but she hasn’t given us an update or showed us any pics.

It's snowing in Houston! I woke Steven up so that he could see his first live snowflake... before it hit the ground & melted.


I was just on a conference call with my fellow engineer and he is so excited about snow! I HATE SNOW!!!!!
I will be working from home when it snows yuck!


That's what I'm doing.
Steven just went for a walk in the snow. I had a feeling he'd be more excited when he woke up more.



I know Damian is looking forward to the snow he can't wait. This man is always outta door with no shirt on and girl its 50 here today and I have on Ugg boots, hat and scarf. I'm going to get some kerosene this weekend to break out the heaters he was like blink.gif blink.gif Whatever I added additional comforters to the bed this week and he said I'm trying to cook him! haaaaaa I can't stand to be cold at all.

So of course he throws in there, since you are good at all that admin kinda stuff can you send the email. When I was just like be patient babe. Then he got on vj and saw that CharandIvan picked up there visa. So then, patients had left out the door. and so on.

Dear Madam:

An appointment will be scheduled within six weeks for his interview.

Regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit

Good Morning Yardies.


Well Eric picked his visa up yesterday. Thank you Lord, cause he was getting on my last nerve, about that thing. He bought his ticket and he will be here Wednesday.

Couldn't come at a better time. I just signed my keys back in to my old office. crying.gif Tuesday my commute starts. Gonna be hating life.



Congrats Mama that is so exciting Wednesday will be here before you know it! LOL @ the Visa you have to understand that this is a huge achievement and step in his life from not being able to travel beyond the island to coming to the US I would be buggin too haaa. Are you planning anything special for his arrival?

Well I’m sure there are two ladies who feet are barely hitting the pavement today. I know they are light as a feather!!! LOL

I hope this day will fly. I have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off because I just learned a week ago that my daughter is in a wedding as a flower girl 2morrow. Good thing they bought the dress but hell what about the shoes, stockings, hair and accessories. They told her father months ago that they wanted her in it but when we never heard back from them so we thought they moved on. Turns on they didn’t. I mean darn we couldn’t at least get a months notice?

Well the Xmas songs are starting to play I see. Bahumbugh!!!


Lawd Dada that was no notice at all, but you know us Mothers we can be Superwoman when we need to! I know you will get everything she needs so she can be in the fabulous affair! Take some pics!

Last night I didn't fall asleep until after 3am, so I finally posted pics of Steven's first few days on FB. Then I just lay there thanking God for bringing us together. It's SO AWESOME getting to spend so much time with the love of my life.
