It depends on when his name was added to the birth certificate. If it was shortly after she was born you will ok, but if there was a delay then they may require it. You won't know until the interview if that's the case.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-06-07 19:43:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part15)	QUOTE (finesse @ Jun 6 2009, 12:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks roxie. that post wasn't much help. my questions have to do with the embassy part of it so I need someone from jamaica who has done it. from the research that I have done every country's requirements at the embassy stage are slightly different when it comes to the paperwork needed to show legal custody of the child....some need an actual court order and others will accept a notarized letter from the bio parent giving permission for the child to leave the country. i'll PM Jengles. I suppose I could call the embassy directly and ask....anyone know the number I could call to get such info? Finesse - we didn't have either of these papers for A's son's interview last week and it was fine. They asked no questions whatsoever about his mother.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-06-07 19:41:00

I call my mother by her first name, something my best friend used to do with her mother when we were young. My mother doesn't mind though... She looks young for her age and doesn't want her coworkers to know how old she is. So when they express that she looks too young to have chilren our ages, she says "Those are my husband's kids." My calling her by her first name helps her keep that up. One time, though, I called my father by his first name. He wasn't having it. I called customer service back and got the same person (Barbara). I said "Nevermind" when she answered the phone, and she seemed quite surprised. I'll probably wait to call back after my Infopass appointment, and hope that Barbara is on a break & I get someone else. Good luck Nat! I hope you find something out.

She just handed in the forms, they asked Auntie if Anthony was already in the US and if Jr was living with her. We had written a letter signed by both of us giving her our permission to take him to the interview. She said she waited 1 1/2 hrs and it was done within minutes. She also said that everyone knew Jr got his visa just by the smile on his face. She said he glowed all the way home! Now we are working on when I am going to fly down to get him.

Mexico, Latin & South America	poverty levels	QUOTE (dancehallquana @ Apr 9 2009, 03:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Islandwoman @ Apr 9 2009, 01:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (dancehallquana @ Apr 9 2009, 02:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hello!! i was researching a little about the poverty levels in preparation for filing soon. i have both a 9-5 job and a small business on the side.. altho my 9-5 is WELL over the poverty limits, my business took a MAJOR loss which puts me just below the 125% poverty level.. questions.. I am reading that most of the time the I134 (fiance visa) looks at 100% and the I864 (spouse visa) looks at 125%..Does anyone know if the Jamaican embassy follows these same rules? Do u "think" (i realize, no one will know for sure) chances are still good if the other 2 years 06 and 07 are not below the poverty level or if they see ur main source of income is still above the levels ? Chica, if your main job puts you over the poverty level you're good. Don't worry about the other - look at the two jobs together, not each having to stand on their own. All they want to know if that you have enough income to support yourself, your kids and RJ. Make sense? thanks island.. but thats why i am worried my tax return would show the combined amounts for example.. $38000 from work plus -13,000 from the business equals $25000, so this is the amount they will see on my return.. but if they look further, they will see that i just had a bad loss and am actually above the limits.. just wondering if THEY will look at it like that.. or if i just don't confuse the issue and just send in my W2 for 2008 instead of the return, but i am sure that would be cause for a RFE.. thanks Ok - I get your point. You will have your W2 from the main job so that would prove you make enough. Get transcripts from the IRS - they give them for free and then you will be able to see for sure.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies need post-NOA2 help	QUOTE (Ellsinlove @ Mar 3 2009, 11:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a related question that I can't seem to figure out an answer on regarding the DS-230. So, he'll make an appointment and go to the embassy in Kingston to drop off part I of the DS-230 correct? Is part II required at the interview? But my main question is, I've read in certain forums (not necessarily K-1) that 2 passport photos are required along with the DS-230 but I can't find that info anywhere to confirm it. What did you recent filers do? I wish I'd left him a few copies of his passport pics aside from the 4 copies I left him to take with him to his medical exam. Thanks for any advice ya'll! No photos for DS 230 drop-off - and only need to drop Part 1. Part 2 you sign at the interview. And if your SO is clear across the island, you can DHL the DS to the embassy, but that's what Culture just had issues with. I have a scanned copy of packet 3. PM me if you want me to email it to you. Ok - I read further and saw that Lawns has you covered already!! Edited by Islandwoman, 04 March 2009 - 12:59 PM.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-03-04 12:57:00

Girl, when you get ready to file, watch out ... you already know the gameplan! Another quick question (told you I had a ton) -- will they notify me when it reaches the embassy or should I contact the embassy myself? Unruly - you can call NVC to see if they have sent it to the embassy yet. They will also give you a new case # which will be a NVC #. As soon as you found out it got to the embassy, send the embassy an email asking for a date to drop of the DS230.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-03-03 21:16:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	YARDIES....I GOT MY INTERVIEW DATE!!!	QUOTE (sus @ Apr 23 2009, 08:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congrats! Hopefully your boss will let you go - but plenty of others have made it through without their hubby - you could try emailing the embassy to see if they can move it to while you are there - if you can't - just make sure hubby has all the answers and is well prepared. Congrats!! I agree with what Sus said.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-04-24 08:14:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Another VSC Yardie Approval	QUOTE (jawi876 @ May 1 2009, 04:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm praying for the same thing lady. Prayer and faith definitely make a difference. A is back in Canada...can I mail the DS-230 instead? How long did it take for you to get the KNG# from NVC? I called today and of course they aren't recognizing my CIS #. LOL I already sent you my congrats 10 different ways but I'm still singing and dancing for you!! You gotta talk to someone at NVC. K1's get put through differently so we can't ever get through on the automated. Give them a try on Monday.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-05-03 12:58:00

If you are putting the clothes in your suitcase just take off the tags if they are new...i bring clothes down for my hubby family everytime i go down and they don't ask as long there is no tags...they do look through your suitcase but they won't examine your clothes...I wouldn't worry...they charge based on how much the item would cost in JA...so it usually not that much if its nothing to big...like a tv set or something... Don't agree with the charges statement here. I took a whole suitcase of presents for Christmas one time. Had tags on and ALL the receipts. The stupid duty cost more then I paid for the ####### I took. If it were me, I would take all the tags off and mix everything in with your stuff. Rolling stuff in your clothes works really well too - stuff little things in the pockets. I took stuff for Jawi's SO's little girls and I rolled their little clothes inside of mine.
