Birth certificates of parents are enough. That is all I had.

Hey..I was wondering if anyone has checked into getting dual citizenship now that we are married. I think Jax was looking into it....anyone have any ideas on where I can go to get the paperwork started. I think I want a Jamaican passport so that I can skip those LONG immigration lines at the airport and buy Jamaican property with my husband in the next few years.....Any ideas?? :help::help:

Thanks. I have been thinking of getting dual citizenship but thru my parents. I didn't know you could also do it thru marriage. Looks likes all the requirements are the same just takes different processing times. My parents are now USC as of 2002. Does anyone know how that may affect me since they don't have a Jamaican passport anymore?

wow i was just looking up the same info on yesterday. it was hard to find but i kept trying in google. it seems like all we need is 7000j and marriage cert, birth certs, the worst part is that it takes a year. that was the turn offf for me. but i only found it one place maybe you can do a better search. i looked up citizenship by marriage to a jamaican.

I will ask my friends who are immigration officers when I go down next week and tell you when I get back.

I know for sure you have to wait one year before you apply. The rest I will get from them when I am down.

Met Jan 1998, vows on 2006, Jay Jay born 2008, baby 2 - 2011

Look at time line for visa information

Congratulations on the welcome letter. And congratulations on your son's acceptance to UCLS. How exciting. You must be very proud of him.

I am glad you brought up the dual citizenship. I never thought about it. Definitely going to look into it too.

WE ARE DONE!!!
