Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	[/quote] HHHHHHHaaaaaa my girl that is so true. That's a good price for Jamaica Grande. I like it their it's really nice. If you're going to be there check out Magarita Ville on Wednesday night. I can't remember what nights I use to go to Amesia and there's another club. I know Ray is going to be surprise. Poor Marcel, he thinks I'm coming to Jamaica in June. His friend is picking me up at the airport next month April 9th and I can't wait. I'll also be in Jamaica in June, so maybe we can link up. I stay at my dad's house in Trelawny. So, if you don't mind the COUNTRY you're more than welcome. Hopefully the renovations will be done by then. AND please make sure Ray is with you, because all I have is MALE cousins and all they have to see is a women with a tiny bit of MEAT on their body and they lose their ever loving minds. [/quote] Me and dave stayed there back in November and it was $399 for each of us. Seems like it's cheapest in the summer and then again during hurricane season, when i went LOL. Dave and Ray are both from Ochi and since me and SunnyJa were down there around the same time last month, we all did Margaritaville on Mondays and wednesdays.....Ur right Lawny, Wet Wednesdays at M Ville is pretty fun. Amnesia has ladies night on Thursdays which is good too. I've never stayed at the RIU but for the price, the Sunset Grande was pretty nice and it's closer to everything when ur ready to go into town. I think I'd like the RIU but since Dave doesn't drive, it just ends up being too far from his work and town One thing I didn't like at the Sunset Grande is you have to plan ur dinner reservations wayyyyy in advance if their busy and sometimes it felt like we were "rushing" to make sure we had a sit down dinner. Other than that, staff was real nice and accomodating....well outside of the housekeeper who spilled bleach near one of Dave's shirts! The manager paid us for it but still....a little suspect for a place with that kinda reputation....don't ya think???? Have fun Mich....Glad u finally made ur travel plans!	tnw	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-15 20:02:00

Why do you think it is that there are large concentrations of one or the other gender marrying certain nationalities??? Ie, with American/Jamaican marriages, the WOMAN is most often AMERICAN same for MENA and African marriages, in Russian/American marriages, the MAN is most often American and the same for Filipino/American relationships..... You know I have thought about this a lot and haven't really come to a good conclusion. I know they discuss this all the time in the MENA and Russia forum and have quite a varying degree of what they thing contributes to such a vast difference in certain genders seeking other nationalities. Not sure what I think about it all...I am going to have to think on this more. i think american men go after filipino women because they have a stereotype of being very biddable, meaning they are willing to let the men run things and and the women run the house. men want russian women because they are viewed as being very pretty...almost exotic... plus it is more sociable exceptable for a male to come home with a flipino wife and russian wife vvs the other way around.

I only know 2 such women, from VJ, and I didn't get that impression from them. They were pretty vocal around their men. I only know one filipino woman (not from VJ) married to this doctor I work with and she seems pretty outgoing and vocal too?.....Might not be the norm but I got the impression she feels pretty comfortable interacting with all of us from work but then again, I only know that one example QUOTE (sjb1221 @ Mar 14 2008, 05:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Trelawny and Marlita - I hope your NOA2s soon come We're still waiting for Damien's NOA1...he went to his biometrics appointment this morning.

BLESS-ED BLESS-ED MAWNING TO ALL OF YOU!!!! I want to SINCERELY thank ALL of you guys...newbies, veterans...ALL of your prayers definately worked!!! We were Blessed for the entire journey. We decided to drive Chalky Hill into town (because less police checks- if we remember were we left off Ken's license will not arrive til 3/17/08 and Gill was NOT used to driving on the other side of the road!) So if anyone knows Chalky Hill you KNOW that it's PURE corners and narrow streets! Ken did EXCELLENT witht he driving and I would take over at the more straight runs! THANK G-D we reached Portmore (Ken's Aunt's House) safely with NO stops...G-d is good! So, we wake up bright and early the next morning it a WONDERFUL breakfast of Ackee & saltfish with Fried dumpling and hot cocoa tea w/condense milk...YUM!! After that Ken's Aunt...put dung a pissa prayers for us and our interview! She all ask the Lord to bless & touch the person interviewing us! We got to the Embassy at around 8AM...the whole bus, taxi ride Ken kept repeating dates, names and other things they could test him on... ( Driving me CRAZY!!) So, we found a nice Ras to hold our things...(he remembered Ken from when he went to drop-off the DS-230) They let us in...the guy in the front (really nice Jamaican Guy) walked us through what papaers we would need! I then realized I had only filled out 1 copy of the DS 156 & DS 157 (I KNOW!! ) So I quick quick filled it out! He gave us our number...(LUCKY NUMBER U 042)and we went inside to Section A. Waited for about 20 minutes...we were called up...we handed in all our documents and she told us we could move on to Section B! Went to Section B in 5 minutes we were called up and a lady asked if I had my tax returns I told her yes from 2004-2007. She said "wonderful...the 2007's please. She went through it and took out what she needed and handed me back the rest! She also wanted the official copy of my divorce! Whipped it out and gave her! She told us to have a sit back in Section 'B'! Then 2 minutes later a gentleman called us to take Kens fingerprints...then we moved on to Section 'C'! OK, for a second! Can I tell you my hat goes off to the people working in Section C ...they have one HELL of a job to do and from what I could tell they do it well!! NUFF NUFF people were trying to get over!!!! One guy had had 3 women fil for him since 2001 (unbeknownst to his current fiancee), a next girl lied on her and wrote in 2006 she was living with a common law husband...but then told the interviewer she was by herself in 2006! Nuff foolishness So we go to section 'C' and Wait...and wait...and wait!! Ok, so I saw Nbesaw (I think) who had her appointment after us gets called before us for the last part! (They got through ...congrats Nbes...BTW!) So, you done know me already. Ken is still spewing out family facts and I am going CRAZY with the waiting! So, I go to get up and ask what's going on... Ken pulls my dress and says..."Just watch your tone!" Like I don't knoa dat! I get up and brush my dress off and approach an available officer, in my finest American accent say " Good Morning, I am not trying to be difficult. But now I am beginning to get concerned that something happened to our file. We have been waiting a good amount of time now. I understand you guys are swamped to day...but I just wanted to make sure we were still on the radar. " She said "I know...what time was your appointment? "8:30" " Ok, we should be getting to you very soon. Try to bare with us!" Ok, at this point I look down cause she just opened a new file and I see Ken's name " OK, Ma'am, thank you for your time , no problem, I totally understand!" So ,I slowly walk back to my chair (cus mi doan knoa wi NEXT!!!) I mouth to Ken "We Next!" As soon as mi seh dat "Mr. Ken Young to window 23 please!" Ken jumps up like a gunshot and I turn to the same lady and approach the window with a smile and say "I guess you were right!" She laughs and says "I guess so!" Then Ken says "Good Morning, How is your day going so far?" She then looks up at him ans smiles and says ' not bad, thank you for asking" She asks Ken why he's here...who filed for him he says his fiancee and she gives him a paper to write my name and sign his name. (My man was so nervous he spells my name WRONG! But with his scribble she can't tell) She makes us swear in to tell the truth! So she begins with asking Ken how we met! " We were following how everyone else answered this question and they (USCIS) want DETAILS in this answer! So Ken starts with "I work at the Holiday Inn and had the pleaseure of meeting this beautiful lady next to me when I was walking down the hall on the 4h floor or building #1!! From the first time I saw her I was just drawn to her beauty and vibes. I asked her to go out with me and after several rejections, she finally said 'YES!" He's about to go on and she says "ok!' When did you met your Fiance? My man blurts out April, no January!!!!! (WRONG!!!!!!!) So she looks at the 129f that I completed and says "When?" At this point I jump in cause I know he's nervous as HELL!! I say "Ken look at me ...when did we meet?" He says when did we meet? "November 23, 2006!!! " (DAT'S RIGHT!) "Please tell the lady when we met! "Oh, November 23, 2006...I am a little nervous today...sorry!" The lady then goes "No, my error I must have misheard you say January!(My girl played it off!! - Let's not forget that there are cameras and mic's everywhere...the interviewers are being watched just as close as the interviewee(sp?)) they are suppose to take your first answer. Tehn she asks if he has children and if his son has met me "Oh Yes!!" says Ken. Then she asks about my sons "Does you fiancee have children?" "Yes, 2 beautiful boys!" says Ken "Have you ever met them?" she asks "They are wonderful kids!" says Ken (totally off the dyam subject!) " Yes, but have but have you met them?" She asks again "Oh, I'm sorry...Yes I have....would you like to see pictures?" says Ken "No,. Mr. Young that won't be necessary. Your visa should arrive in approx. 2 weeks ....please go across the street to Airpack and blah blah blah!!!!!" Bwoy, at that point I just put this shyt-eating grin on my face!! Ken says "thank you Ma'am!" I walk away and turn back and say "Thank you so much...you won't regret this!" She says..."I know!" with a wink and and smile! We walk out of the waiting area into the hall where the nice Jamaican guy was helping us and Ken starts singing the Lupe Fiasco song...."You are what you say your are a SUPERSTAR!!!" and puts his shades on (Mr. confidence all of a sudden!) I tell the guy we get through he smiles and says congrats!! I then said "GREY GOOSE TONIGHT!!!" All of the embassy people start laughing! What an experience!! Again, I thank ALL of you for your support and prayers...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! Blessed love always, Gill (PS- Lawny, I saw ONE indian looking dude that got a blue slip...but he said his "wife' filed for him...not "fiancee'. I didn't have a picture of Marla...so I didn't know what she looked like!) CONGRATS GILL AND KEN!!!!! Thanks for sharing Gill.....U know I'll be in YOUR shoes in 2 weeks!

My thoughts were that it may be cheaper for him stay home. Its just a thought. Now if he gets paid like 11.75 im estimating at 40 hours a week that would give about 350 maybe? and that will only just cover daycare and we need a lot more than that im trying figure what cost i will cut to afford daycare and any other expenses right now i have no extra to cover that so i been praying on it and trying find a cheaper place to live. did u price daycare where u are??? know any older ladies who want to supplement their income??? Is your mother near you she might know someone When my daughter was in Daycare ... and I even found preschool this way ... I called churches. Both the churches that helped me happen to be Methodist but Church people know people.... They know the community. Open the yellow pages and call and visit everyone you can. When I moved back to Maine I cried and cried because I didnt think I could afford it. Even though I work at home I couldnt get work done with a wired kid running around. I eventually found some GREAT care. You have to hunt the good ones down! I been crying and cryin too already and baby is nowhere near here yet. Going to do some OT now while i can to try save up some money and finish off my jamaica travel debt and the visa stuff. Im going to start lookign into and call some places. Im still hoping the TX thing will come through for me by summer that will tremendously cut my costs. They need 8 people to leave before i can come. So far one is leaving so now thats 7. Ill keep prayin on it. Ive also been trying to find places here cheaper where i dont have to sign a 12 month lease. Thank you all for ur advice i truly appreciate it, its like noone outside this visa/adjustment process can even begin to understand. I always told Dave kids are a blessing to have but starting a family is a HUGE commitment, especially when he won't be working for several months if not more. Whatever u decided to do Kim, I'm sure you'll be o.k. cause ur a strong person....ur just feeling a little stressed by all this when it should be a happy time for u and the hubby.

About moving to the US, I mean? Do you think he had an argument or something with his father that could make him hesitant to move? He could just be scared. It is a big step for anyone. I think at the very least, you need to have some good sit down, heart to hearts with him to find out what the problem is. I absolutely think you are in the most perfect situation. With those of us on K-1's & K-3's we are given little time to live together and make that smooth transition from living apart to marrying and being together almost all the time at first. Someone I know was saying she wished they gave us 4 months before the K-1 expired. I said 6 would be even better. The transition is just so sudden and difficult to work with. Anyhow, I think you are the luckiest girl I have heard of in a long time. Yes, use the time to see how it all flows. That is a brilliant thing to do. And, no, since his father is directly involved in this one, I think it was appropriate to discuss with him. I am almost thinking you should've said all that to Mike first though. I think I would definately discuss it before he finds out from his father. True....sounds like he's either anxious or feeling stressed by the whole thing but I agree...Take the time to find out. Going to his dad's might be what u need to put a little distance there so you can see what he really wants and expects and what u want outta this too. I'm sure you wanted more of a reaction outta him based on all the Good News you were trying to give him etc. so hopefully.....It'll all work out for the best over time.	tnw	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-07 16:15:00
