Congrats Island that is some drama. I am glad that he got approved. Has he already gone to get the police report?


Thanks - not yet. He had to go back to work today so as soon as he gets his next day off he will deal with it. If he pays the $2,000 he can get it in 3 days.

Re the nonimpediment - I would say try to roll without it if you can handle the possible blue slip.

Wow, Island you did have a chaotic trip, but all in all it sounds like a good one! Glad to hear that you are back safe and sound and that he will have the visa soon!

Shrewdie, I just KNOW you are going to have a good trip and everything is going to be perfect!!


I think so too smile.gif
I am really starting to get excited..but also sad. I know this will be my last time in JA for quite a while..probably till NEXT summer crying.gif


Shrewie - don't worry bout nothing!! You will be fine. Just keep pushing along. And enjoy your trip - I told A the same thing, I'm not coming back again this year cuz I have things I need to take care of it my "yard" this year.

I actually was fine with the way it ended and walked out with a smile on my face. A was disappointed all the heck though! He pouted for at least 24 hrs chatting bout he finally put his mind to leaving and this. I'm thankful for a bit of a delay because he started a new job the beginning of January and this will give him the time to work it hard and get a stash put away for when those phone calls come. Also, he will need to get his license ASAP here because there are no bus or taxis to get him around and I was NOT looking forward to trying to teach him to drive in the heart of winter. So March will be perfect IMO.

BTW - Jr didn't go to the interview. A and Jr's mom can't get there heads together about it right now so he decided that he would get himself settled here first then work on Jr. I thought that was the wrong choice, but it wasn't my choice to make so I went with it. I did hear one family get blue slipped for DNA because it was longer than a year that the father's name was added to the BC so I think they use that as a timeline.

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!!!!

We decided to try it. He went today to go and do it but they were closed? So he is on his way back now to see if they are open now but if not he is going to go and try again tomorrow. He went to the RGD for the Non impediment form yesterday and just FYI to everyone the fee used to be $5000J but he said it is now $8000J.

Quanna he did make me proud and I even told him so.


OMG!!!! Like $5k wasn't bad enough......

Pretty much. Just gotta finish my last couple things tonight and I'm done. I have been doing mega laundry for the last 3 days so I don't have to come home to any full hampers.

A just called me spitting bullets. He took most of his first paycheck of his real-offical job he started on the 5th and went to buy me "something special". Well it is apparently some homemade - he checked the guy at his shop on Saturday but he said he didn't do it the way he wanted so he told him fix it right. That was the last time he talked to him. He called him on Sunday and couldn't get him. He left work a little early yesterday and no man - saw one of his workers who said he can't get him either and he didn't go to shop at all yesterday. A goes again today and there is 7 other people at the shop looking for this man. One guy paid him over $60k ja for whatever this guy does (A still won't tell me). They are all hopping mad thinking this guy has stolen their money and busted out of town!!!

No good deed goes unpunished........

I'm going to pray about it first. I feel that the friendship has run its course...and I need to surround myself with people that love me like I love them. A has gotten upset with me a number of times because he has seen how much she has hurt me...Jonesie too for that matter. She (the friend) always manages to find a way back in because I have such a forgiving spirit.



Aww..Jawi (hugs). When the time is right for you, you will find the strength to end her draining friendship - just like in any relationship.

Anyway we got there around 11am we saw on the sign that it started at 10:30, we are oh we are not that late... 11:40 church was over!!!! we look at each other and was like dam that was fastest church we have every being to.


You got it Portland - I go to a methodist church. Very relaxing and done in an hour!! However they were talking about a gospel church about an hour away from me that has you on your toes dancing the whole time and it is so packed it standing room only. I'm gonna find dat church!

why can't the embassy order the dna testing to be done before the interview date? they know from the birth certificates which ones they want the dna testing, correct.

isn't it if the father's name was added after two months then they order dna testing?

seems a waste for people to go to the interview and then be told oh u have to do a dna test.

OK>>>>>>>>>>>>>>i just checked my email again.......and got a very non-official looking response (usually they say Dear Madam.....signed: KingstsonIV) this didn't...it says: Mr. P......, you should be hearing from us in about 3 months." 3 months???? 3 months???????????? are you kidding? i'm really confused......what's going on? ideas?

Jah give me strength!


3 months - are you kidding me?!?!? I would write back and ask them if they are implying it will take 3 months to schedule an interview. Also, call DOS and be firm with them - they can do an inquiry for you and send a message to the embassy. Third, I would call the embassy and speak to someone and don't hang up until you get some kind of answer - we have been succesful with this # 876-702-6450.

Good luck - I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

hello yardies,

I am posting to see if someone will be interested in sharing a rental with Sol and Myself for the week of Feb 19 - 26. We have already secured the rental of a 4 bedroom house. Had coworkers that were planning to go but have chosen to do the inaguration instead. The rental is nice and can be viewed on the following link.

I was reading the thread above called Yardie. What does Yardie mean? There was a lot of conversations going on. Kind of hard to know what's going on.


Jamaicans call Jamaica or their home their "yard" - therefore the term yardie. Good people in the yardie thread - you will learn alot more about your SO and his culture, as well as have all your questions answered. Welcome!

I understand. When my mom tried to send me to Walla Walla College in Walla Walla RASS Washington state, I felt completely out of place. Same when I went to a wedding in (let me see if I can get the town right) Beaver Creek, Montana (don't laugh), all eyes were on me, while I felt out of place and uncomfortable, I didn't dwell on it, I was there to support my friends at their wedding.
