Totally Here goes.

How are interviews scheduled anyways? Do they set aside certain amount of interview appointments for K-1, K-3, IR-1, CR-1, visitors, working visas? Or do they just randomly schedule them, as the applications are approved? Any thoughts or ideas on this for you experienced ones?

Mawning Fams,

I just thought of something for those filing after me!

Make sure you have a copy of your original petition. Make a copy and send it to your SO. That's where they get MAJORITY of their questions from...duh! I didn't realize that until I keep seeing the same pattern of questions being asked over and over again.

Also if you haven't filed yet. Make your description of how you met as brief and concise as possible. The more details you give them...the more questions they can ask! I only wrote a paragraph of how we met (because I was too dyam lazy & annoyed fuh go inna more details at the time). But it worked out for the best in the end!

For those of you that have interviews coming up...GET YOUR 2007 tax returns!! If you have those for whatever reason they are pleased! You DO NOT have to have the transcripts for 2007...just the return. Nuff people went up with 2006 and they seemed annoyed...some people even got a blue slip to come back when they have them!

Hmmmmm...I think that's it!

Bless, Gill

P.S.- How is everyone tiddeh?

It sucks I miss Monique! Also, all the employees are laid off this week (and next week) due to a supplier strike so we're just here doing "busy work". I'd rather be doing my real job - it helps the time go by.

Tony is on "mom" duty this week and next week

WOW! I never knew this picture thing was so easy Now I'm gonna put pics up all the time!

Good Afternoon Yardies!

Gill, Congrats again girl. What a huge step for you guys.

All the beautiful babies are driving me nuts. Anyone need a babysitter? BEAUTIFUL BABIES. JaEnglish-Everyday I look forward to a new pic of that baby... He's so handsome.

I hope everyone is enjoying their day so far. I'm counting down until it's time to go home. (2 hours, 13 minutes and 46 seconds) 45, 44, 43, 42, 41, 40, 39. 38. 37 lol

Rhonda, your baby seems to be a very happy baby. She looks like she worked so hard helping Santa, she fell asleep on the job

Yeah Nbees,

I agree she was really mean to Andrew(We were sitting in the back...Ken had on a light Green shirt & I had on a black & white dress)...which I thought was unecessary! I also agree that if you can GO for the interview! For whatever reason they are brutal on those that go without their SO.. I heard one interviewer ask "This is a very big day for you...Why isn't your fiance/wife here?" A number of times to different applicants.

I swear so many people were trying to get over...it started to piss me off! Cause it just makes it harder for legit couples to get through...Everyone han dem Momma filed a 'Fiance Visa'!!

Mi seh people can say what they want about VJ and my Yardie thread...but if you come in and ASK yuh questions dem...yuh won't go wrong! Ken was like Thank you VJ!! DYAM RIGHT!!!

Blessed,

Gill

Thats very true. I know there are many reasons why a person can't be there...financial...work...other commitments...but it is a big day and its like not showing up for a job interview. Even though the visa is for your SO, the ONLY reason why they are even in the process of getting this visa is cause of you so I beiliev you should definitely go and treat it just like it was the 2 of you having the interview.

So for all these fiance visas that you guys say people were there for, were their SO there too? I wonder about these "fradulent' cases. Were these people like someone who was trying to get over on their SO, or do you think it was a situation where the SO from the States new this was a sting operation all along?

Bwoy Lita,

I'm telling you. One lady Ken saw at his medical was at the interview and told the USCIS officer she met her fiance over the phone! OK, she was like 60 years old...yeah I know love don't have an age but...The interviewer was like so he just randomly called your number one day? No, my uncle set us up! Oh, then you just fell in love with him...over the phone???The lady was like "Hmmmm...Yes...I guess so?!" He came to visit you once in 2 years and you know this is the man for you? "Hmmmm....Yes...I believe so!"

NOW C'MON!!!!!

A next young gyal was just a mess and the USCIS told her she was going to throw her out of the Embassy if she didn't stop lying! On the original paperwork is wrote that she was living with a man...but then when the interviewer asked she said she was by herself when she met her Fiance!

Then she asked her for proof...pictures, cards, ...letters phone bills! She pulls out phone bills...The interviewer was like "You went MONTHS without speaking to your fiance and that was ok with you!? You're a very trusting woman...cause I couldn't do that! Can you give me ONE reason ...just one as to why you have to go to the States?"

Deh dyam fool gyal seh..."I don't know...tuh see him!" NO WRONG ANSWER!!! "BECAUSE I LOVE HIM AND CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM!!!" The interviewer LACED har rass!!

"1). I in no way shape or form believe your ####### & bull story! 2). Do you know that the JA gov't. can have you arrested for lying to an international officer! 3). Yuh cyan see your 'fiance' deh next time he comes down here, if that's the only reason you NEED to go! You are denied!"

Both of those 2 examples were by themselves.

The next guy that was WITH his 'fiance' had been married and tried to enter the US previously...only to be denied entrance b/c the wife withdrew her paperwork BEFORE he got there...because he had had another woman file a fiance visa for him! And his current Fiancee knew nothing about any of this! But the dyam fool ooman stood by his side anyway! They called her into a room...by herself... and I know that had to ask her if she knew what she was doing!?

I don't agree with the wear whatever you want statement. Dress as if you are going to an interview. Honestly, in my opinion the people that came in jeans and looking sloven & raggedy...they kindda pushed harder. They KNOW this is a big day for you and I think they expect you to dress the part! Not a suit, but a button down dress shirt or polo and a pair of dockers will work.

Bless,

Gill

Gill, I met to tell you. You said you was wearing a black dress, right? I think my friend was either sitting near you or standing near you and Ken inside. She too heard a lot of people getting denied and they're no discrete about it. It took her a while to get through, because they mixed up her paperwork. People getting the wrong answers as far as dates and names and how many kids your fiancee, wife, husband have. She said it was just crazy. And I too agree, you have to look PRESENTABLE. That goes a long way and SMILE (even if you don't mean it) and be polite. Nothing wrong with asking what's taking so long, just be polite about it.

Gill how long did it take you to get through.
