We are all mostly going through the Jamaican embassy in this forum and for Jamaica interview it's highly recommended that you would attend. We wouldn't be familiar with the Barbados Embassy. Don't know if they are *as strict* as the Jamaican Embassy. Good luck to you.

Luvtravelin is right. How has your correspondence/communication been so far with their Consulate? Ask him what has he heard about how their Embassy handles their visa issuance. Also, do a search for other Barbados petitioners on the timelines & ask them how their experience was. That should help you decide.

JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT EMAIL ADDRESS YOU USE TO CORRESPONDEND WITH THE EMABSSY

THANK YOU

That is great. Did you call for the interview date or did they mail it to you? I just want to get a feel on how they are scheduling recently. I am hoping to have a date within the next 2 weeks. Your paperwork looks pretty good. Looks like this is I-130 Minfay.

Thanks Texas Bound, please see below a copy of the email I sent to them and their response.

Good Morning:

My husband's case was completed at the National Visa Center on November 29th, 2006 and forwarded to the US Embassy in Kingston on December 5th, 2006. I would like to attend the interview with my husband and have to make plans accordingly.

I live and work in New York and I need to give my employer enough notice regarding paid time off. I was wondering if it's possible for my husband to receive a possible medical appointment and interview date the week January 29th or the week of February 5th.

I would appreciate your advice regarding this matter.

Thank you and Happy Holidays,BELOW IS THEIR RESPONSE

Hello:

Our records indicate that we have scheduled XXXXX for a visa interview on February 1, 2007. On December 22, we mailed an appointment packet to him at XXXXXXXXXXX. If he does not receive the appointment packet, a representative should send an e-mail to KingstonIVInfo@state.gov and schedule an appointment to come to the Embassy's immigrant visa information window and retrieve a duplicate appointment packet. If everything is in order at the time of his interview, we should be able to issue the visa within four to five working days.

Regards,

I had a hard time with them responding to an email. I believe it is better to call

I forget -- are you a K-1?

If so, you will need the "No Impediment to Marriage" certificate.

How do you get the no impediment to marriage?
