What's up Lawny! Girl, planning a trip around a cycle is ridiculous! It's so stressful! laughing.gif I should give up trying, but I really feel like being in the water on my next trip. And when Aunt Flo's here, I don't feel like doing anything but fighting and sleeping! blush.gif

Hey Claire! How r u doing?

Hola Kenesha! What's up?


Tamesha, I just saw your shout out. I was at work yesterday and logged on but was not really able to read and catch up. Then our whole systems went down, phone, internet and computers. Most of our system is computerized so we were all just sitting around chatting. No meds, meals or anything for the patients. I had one to d/c home and it took me 4 hours to get him out. Something that usually takes me 30 mins.

Anyway, girl I doing well. Just got back from my sister's wedding on Fort Lauderdale. She had a small beautiful backyard wedding. I saw a lot of my family and had a blast. Was kinda sorry that i had to come back but duty called.

So sorry that you have not yet received your NOA2 yet, but keep praying and you know HE has his own plans for us.

O gosh forget it I'm scared! I have asthma, had a c-section but want a vaginal birth and I need constant medication for any kind of pain. Yea it was a nice thought but it sounds like too much of not knowing until its too late. I don't know maybe I'll talk to his family this weekend and see what they think. Thanks for the great advice, Lawny.



Have you spoken to your doc about having a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). This is nit really adviced,

From the Jamaica Survival Guide thread, I saw that you can apply for your police record in Kingston... and that you need your passport to do so:

Are their any other places to get the police record closer to Negril? And did your SOs need to show a passport to get it? That seemed like a strange requirement to me.

You might be able to do a FOIA request to immigration - or at least your friend do one, since he is the child's father and she has a right to child support - something is definitely not right, MrsP = But unfortunately, your friend is gonna have to make her own choice - hopefully she won't get too hurt by that.

I'm still in shock that there will be no more trips to see my man and saying goodbye to him for months at a time until I can book the next flight. It feels great! I wish I could travel back with him...but this process has tapped my funds a LOT!!!

Next big hurdle is AOS...such an unjustified sum of money! GEEZZ!!

Eleven people were hanging on a rope, under a helicopter. 10 men and 1 woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall. They weren't able to choose that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return. As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping .

I hope you all have a wonderful and productive day.


Oh, Claire, I am sorry to hear that - My uncle did that - he had an esphogeal bleed - ended up 17 weeks in ICU and 7 surgeries =- but he pulled through and survived another year - it was like a gift, because we had a year of having my uncle back, and he got the time with his grandkids sober -


Good to hear about your uncle, but this guy is on his last. I am giving hime some blood products now and he is bleeding so much I am almost afraid to go in the room. I feel so bad for hi mother though. All I can do is give her a hug.


Nurses do so much...

Claire, my mom worked as and ICU nurse at children's hospital here in Washington DC for 25 years and she says sometimes she just has to walk into a room close the door and cry...her hardest job was when a child dies before the parents get to the hospital...a majority of the time all they want is a "HUG"...no words...just a simple HUG says and means a lot.

Hey Yardie Family!! Thanks for all the prayers. They worked but of course not without some drama. My trip was good although I only saw sunshine for 1 day. It rained hard in Ochi most of Saturday and all of Sunday. I also had a trip a bit like Sus' last one but I'll just stick with the interview stuff.

When the plane landed in Mobay I had a message from A that he wasn't going to make it in time to meet me at the airport because the bus broke down. I get outside and my car rental guy isn't there either. I'm thinking this is a great start - I got stood up by 2 men! But car guy finally shows up and is chatting bout if he was my guy he would never be late blah blah. I said YOU were late - cho!! I drove to Discovery Bay and met up with A there. We went to Ochi and I unpacked somewhat and then drove to Runaway Bay to meet with Jawi's friend and deliver the care package for her girls (he was very nice Jawi!). We had some yummy curry chicken for dinner at the restaurant that he worked at.

We go back to the room and I started organizing the paperwork for the interview. And that's when it started......A had told me that all the papers got messed up when the bus rolled over and that he thinks he was missing a few things so I had brought down my copies of everything I had sent him thinking no big deal - we can just replace it. So I say, where's your medical? He said I shoved everything into that folder you sent down. I said it's not here. He starts rummaging through his bag - nothing. I keep organizing and I say - where's your police report & non-impediment and receipt for payment of the interview????? This was the first time I ever saw a black guy turn white. He said all of that stuff was in the white fed ex envelope into the folder. I looked through every single piece of paper and nothing. He started calling every one asking if he had left an envelope there - nothing. After traveling since 2 am, I just wanted to bust into tears. I got washed up and climbed into bed and said to him we have 2 options - go to the interview knowing we won't get an approval and take our bumps and bruises & try to fix it or just give up now (I was so disappointed in him at this point.) He said he was NOT giving up - we were going and just deal with the consequences as they came. I went to bed and he starts chatting bout the monkey man and saying prayers and quotes and all this hoopla. He was retracing his steps bout when the last time he saw the envelope, blah, blah.

We get up at 5:00 am and since I had a good night's sleep I was ready to concur the world. We get outside and have a flat tire! I'm like are you freakin kidding me?!?!?! A changed the tire and off we went.

We got to Kingston around 8:15 and since A runs on JA time, he thinks we have plenty of time to drop by the tire place and drop the flat off, stop by his "ranch" so he could rummage through his stuff once more looking for the docs while driving through bumper to bumper Kingston traffic. We still had to go to the bank to pay for another interview - 1st bank we go to was the wrong one. Go to NCB which was the next block over - I'm practically running through the streets dragging him as it is now 9:00 (INTERVIEW TIME). Since I stick out like a green alien in Kingston a very nice customer service rep asks if she can help me. I explained what we were here for and she sent me to the teller line and explained we needed passports - SHYT A's is in the folder with all the documents!! A tries to argue that he bought one in Hanover before without it but I hushed him said I'll catch a place in line and you run back to the car. We finally pay - it's now 9:15 and he's chatting bout I worry to much. I just kissteeth at him.

I parked the car on the curb with these 2 guys having traffic stopped (NOTE Dillon: If you keep driving and turn around so the embassy is on your left - there is a big gated parking area there.)

There is a long line outside the embassy so I ran up to a security guard and asked where do we go for an immigrant visa interview. He points me to the ladies with the yellow shirts just outside the door. A's still moving on JA time so I am dragging him up the sidewalk. While I'm talking to the yellow shirt ladies this guy is chirping in my ear about so cell phones, no cameras, no lotions, no water....I turn and said I know - thank you! Yellow shirt lady tells us to wait and she goes inside. She comes back out and said they have now closed those appointments - where did we come from. My mouth drops open so A said I came from Hanover - she came from New York. I said I understand we are late but we had a flat tire. She said go ahead.

We go through security with no troubles and they hustles us to a next room where we turn in our appointment letter. The guy there says "you're late." I said I'm sorry we had a flat tire. He asked for the passport photos and the police report. We gave the photo but said we didn't have a police report. He said you don't have a police report? No. Okay - gives the photos back, gives us a ticket and shoos us off to another room which A - prescreening. It is now 9:38. The room is packed. I take the one empty chair in the back and A stands. And we waited and we waited. I was trying to listen to what was going on while we were chatting and laughing - I was at the point of whatever happens happens.

It was after 11:00 when we were called to the window by a pretty Jamaican woman. She asked who filed for him and he told her my name. And she said and who is Tanya? He looked at me and said she is. And she asked again - and who is Tanya? He gets it and said "She's gonna be my wife!!"

She said you had an earlier appointment did you come or did you not get the letter? A told her he was on the way when the bus had an accident. He said some of my documents got messed up in the accident. At this point I explained the bus rolled over. She jumps and says Praise the Lord yuh not dead!! Papers can be replaced - not yuh life! At this point I breathed my first sigh of relief.... She collected all the papers that we did have and sent us down to B17 for fingerprints. They had to take them 2x and then told us to go back to wait in Section A. By this time we are the last people in this section - I told A at least it will be over soon cuz they are going to want to go to lunch at noon.

We got called back to another window in Section A by a nice American girl. She swore us both in and asked if either of us were married before. I said I was (I had already turned in my divorce decree to the 1st woman). She asked me how long I had been married, did I have any children, how old where they, had my children ever met A, how many times did I visit, and what did I do for work? She then asked how we met and when did our relationship turn from friendship to romantic? She also asked A if his father ever filed for him and what happened with that?

We explained again to her about the missing documents and she asked why we hadn't just got a copy of the medical? I explained that we didn't realize that stuff was missing until I was organizing the stuff the night before. A said he would go take the medical again and she said no, we can just get a copy so you don't have to pay the fee again. She asked for the doc's name and the approx date of the medical. I told her and she told us to wait a minute. She came back and said it would be here in a week. She told him not to worry about the non-impediment but that he did need to get another police report. She gave us a blue slip with a date of 2/11 to come back with the police report. She told him to make sure he brings the fee to pay DHL when he comes back on the 11th!!!! It was 11:48 when we walked out.

Most of the interviews were for families. I heard a lot that required DNA testing due to a time lapse, one didn't have her father on her birth certificate even though he filed for her, and some approved. There was one girl who was blue slipped to have her fiancé return with her, and one couple who filed K1 but then got married in the meantime. The same girl we had explained that petition was now void and he would have to refile with the I130 which would take about a year.

Whew!!!!
