Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)	QUOTE (Islandwoman @ Mar 17 2008, 10:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Question for all you intelligent-might-as-well-be-immigration-lawyers: Does the K2 Visa follow the same path as the K1? More specifically, I understand until the 2 year marriage anniversary the spouse has a conditional green card and then you have to remove conditions to get the 10 yr card. Is that the same for the child as well - 2 yr card then 10 yr with the parent or does the child get the 10 yr right off the bat? And since we have been talking bugets, Anthony and I have been working on the next phase of immigration charges (which appear to never end!!!) What was average price for the police certificate? I already screeched at the price of the non-impediment letter. Just what the heck did I pay for with the $455 filing fee????!!!! Dahling, that $455 is to the US Gov't. You have to dole out JA$1000 for 21-day service or JA$2000 for 3-day service for the police cetificate and it is good for 6-months, then you have to pay US$80-95 for the medical depending on where you go. Then the airpack fee to deliver the passport with the visa. Then you have to buy the plane ticket, then you have to file to remove conditions/EAD/AP US$1010.

I tried the Dominicans, but all they know how to do is blowdry your hair. That I don't want. Iam comfortable just washing and rolling and brushing out. I also don't like the commercial products they use, gives me flaky scalp and breaks my hair. I use Mizani products in my hair and even if I take it to them, so don't want to use my products, even when I offer to pay the same. I just dedicate a half a day to do my hair.

Girl, I am here watching a movie with my son and his girl, just wishing Mike was here with us. Anyway, I feel youon that relationaship issue with your daughter and her father. He has to remember that a kind word turneth away wrath and he has to be careful how he "reprimands" her. The JA way isn't always the best way. You have to also make sure you are not sending her the wrong message. You both have to be united in the way you both treat her. When he reprimands her and she runs to you be careful what is said and your reaction to whatever happened. Try to talk to him and you both come to an agreement about punishment. He also has to remember that she is a little girl and has the house as her playground. You both have to designate play area and time and clen up time and do it with her. He can't expect her to learn by herself. Be patient with him. Even though most JA men have kids back home, they are not really involved in their lives, it is left up to the woman especially if they are not married and living together. So, this might be new for him.	clairern	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-15 23:10:00

I haven't been on much due to being extremely busy at work and trying to put together my K1 petition, oh yea and when I'm not doing that, I'm always sleeping I'm almost done with the application and I'm planning to send it early next week, just waiting on the G-325A from my SO and I have to take my passport pic. Anyway, wanted to say congrats to the ladies who got approved! must be a big relief to say the least. I've just caught up with the last few pages and saw the two reports on the embassy experience, now I'm a little worried and was hoping to get some clarification: 1) I was told the fiancee was not required to be with the SO at the interview. I'm thinking if we get lucky enough, and lets say my SO gets an interview when I'm in my third trimester and really pregnant and can't travel to go to the interview with him, will this be held against him? If the interview is some time after I give birth, I def. plan to be there. 2) The G325A form asks for employment history for last 5 years. My SO was attending UWI until this last semester when he was forced to take a leave cause he couldn't afford tuition, when he did work during this time, it was doing odd jobs and not on the books. He just recently was able to get a legit job. Will this be held against him? Should I put that he was a student in that section, or leave it blank? 3)I've gathered pretty much all of the evidence that we have to prove our relationship including pictures, emails, phone records, and travel itineraries. The problem is when I flew there to see him I did not keep the boarding passes I was thinking of copying the stamps on my passport and putting it together with the email confirmations that I received when I booked my airfare online. Is this enough proof of travel? I don't have prove of hotel receipts b/c my SO paid for the hotel when I visited. 4)Finally, how do I put together all that information? in a binder with tabs? scrapbook? Thanks! ps: sorry for the long post. Welcome back my girl. No need to worry about the long post. We are here for help and support and a long post maight be the only way to make us understand your situation. Your list looks good and I have no suggestion about what to include or how to arrange it.

There is a very large hippy/granola/au natural group here and you can get some of the weirdest things ever. But ask about pumpkin and people look at you crazy When I can't get the JA pumpkin, I use the American pumpkin in my soup. Taste the same to me.	clairern	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-13 19:22:00

Sunny, we need to hook up and do this one weekend, but I have a lot of family here from Jamaica that will stay with me for the next 5 weeks (LORD HELP ME)...girl pray that I don't kill one of them. My grandaunt got up 4 o'clock this morning making fritters and cooked my LUNCH. (I appreciate it), but....she wakes me at 4:30 asking me where is the clothes I'm wearing to work. So, I showed a blue pantsuit, she says, oh, no my baby-- u can't wear pants to work, what will they think. I said auntie it's 2008, I love, go back in the kitchen and finish cooking. She's 86 and I love her so much. Now, I have to find her some fish net sockings. She going to a function at Martin's Crosswind on Saturday. I haven't been able to find any. Any suggestions? Is Auntie big or small? You can get fishnets at Lane Bryant... or Kohl's I think. Try Macy's or JC Penney... any big dept store should have the nice ones. Try Wal-mart. They have lots of stocking selections. Hey girl, how MD treating you? Suppose to be almost 70 degrees tomorrow and I can't wait. I'd love to hang out a CC, I just have a crazy scheduled right now and family in town. I just told my mom to try walmart. My grandaunt called my dad and ask him to start up the grill. Now, she's outside frying fish. I'm going to gain so much weight Girl, enjoy it. I wish I had family visiting me and making those Ja meals that I have not had in years.	clairern	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-12 14:00:00

I forget who said but some men DO NOT care to ever learn and they are ok with that.

This is where it gets to be a problem for me. He's holding himself back cause his mind is not free....not because someone tells him he can't do it. and it is aproblem for me as well....i want to drill a hole into his thick head and put some sense into him....it really bothers me.... Nans, this is a very tricky situation. You have to thread gently. Do not push too hard or else you will never get him to try. Just talk about it and not get upset when you do. I know it is fraustrating but you can't give up. My ex (the barber) was very smart (street) could read and write but could not hold a conversation in public. You know how it is in a Jaamican barber shop. That is all the conversation he wanted to have. When he moved to NC with me, he claimed he could not get a job but I think he was afraid to actually go on an interview for fear ne would not be able to handle it. I was patient with him but he decided to go back to NYC back to his old barber shop where he was comfortable hanging out with the guys.	clairern	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-11 18:48:00

I just dont want anyone to laff and make fun of what I am abt to say. I am a college graduate and my hubby well lets put it, he cannot read and write so well. I love and respect him with all my heart, and this has never been a problem to me and I havent loved hima any less. He is enrolled in a school where he starts out with the basics and then he will work his way up. HE works in a factory and I work in a hospital. Let me tell you, he is very intellegent and nobody can fool him. HE makes fun of me that I am "book smart", but he is "street smart" No one here will make fun of you. Your hubby is ambitious and like he says, he has street smarts. He is at least trying to better himself. Him not being able to read and write does not make him the man who he is or the man you fell in love with. I am sure one day you are gonna come back on here announcing very proudly his achievements.

I have a question - need some opinions. I am putting together all the papers for Louis to bring to interview. I went through all my tax papers and have from 2002 - 2007 with 2005 gone missing!!?? I can't imagine where it has gone to (the W2). I have moved several times so it could be in a box in storage somewhere - who knows!!?? So I asked my employer for a new one and they say "it could take some time to get a copy" ... What would you do? I have the paperwork from H&R Block - its just the actual W2 that I am missing. I have been working for the same company for over 10 years and have a letter from them saying that. (The affidavit letter). Do you think this W2 is something I absolutey have to have? Thanks! Cat Cat, don't panic. Call the IRS anf order your tax transcripts. You do not need to bring a copy of the actual tax return and W-2 if you have the transcripts. They are more concise and that is what I sent with my AOS. Go to the IRS website and get the number and call them. You usually get it within 2 weeks or less.	clairern	Female	Jamaica	2008-03-11 17:41:00
