NVC - Changes for Jamaican applicants???

[milan 0]

Hey Tam....I am keeping my fingers crossed that when you call tomorrow morning they will tell you you have a September interview...

That would be AWESOME!

Hello All,

I am so grateful that this forum is available. Currently my husband's case is at the NVC and a representative has just advised me that they are requesting that we send the DS 230 part II, orig. marriage and birth certificate and police records to the NVC. On the site, it says that all this information should be gathered for the interview.

Has anyone heard that the NVC is now scheduling the interview for the US Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica? Apparently the rules have recently changed. I am just worried about how much longer I have to be away from my husbanc.

Thank you for all your help.

I called on my way home yesterday and just called again about an hour ago and they told me that we still don't have an interview date . They are still scheduling the September interviews and the young lady I spoke to, told me to call at the end of the week which is when she believes the scheduling will be done.

I would have to say, I am having one of those low days today . The process is taking too long; I feel like we are constantly pushing back our timeline and now I am wondering if we are even going to be together this year

Thanks, I need some positive person with me on this...

We've all been there, girl. Just hang in there. You know tomorrow can always be a better day.

That's what makes this a little easier, knowing that others can relate and give those encouraging words. Yeah, I know tomorrow will be a brighter day

You are so far now.....the end is actually in sight for you. Think of all those just starting!

Thank your lucky stars today. That is my advice....focus on the positive.

I do know, though. There were some days I was wishing the days away cause tomorrow HAD to be better.

Funniest thing is just recently I told someone, "It's always darkest before the dawn". I know the time is coming and I know that I am usually the most down in the dumps right before the breakthrough. Usually I am "...the glass is half-full..." sort of girl, but there are days we're in the valley.

Thanks for the encouragement and believe me, my prayers are going up for those who have just started the journey or are preparing to start the journey soon.

Tamieka,

I can honestly said i know how you feel today . I call the NVC this morning and got the same spill. I really believe they we will both get interview dates this week. I think the NVC rep already know this but try to mange call volume by refusing to give any type of status until a certian date. Every conversation I have had with the NVC, the rep has given me the most outrageous timeframe of calling back. Last week I was told to call back at the end of the month. Hanging in there. I am calling back on Thursday. You are in my prayers. You are certianly a glass half full girl . I can tell from ll of your positive responses. We are almost there. It just this one last things. God hears our prayers!!

Hey Milan...yes, I called yesterday and still no date. They are still scheduling the September interviews and the young lady I spoke with advised that it should be completed by the end of this week. I will continue to call for the remainder of the week until I hear we have an interview or scheduling has been completed. . I'm keeping the faith

I just went to the Department of State website, looked under Kingston and it has been updated (if it wasn't before). This is the list of documents you need to send to the NVC along with the DS-230.

Document Requirements

The applicant and each family member who will accompany the applicant to the United States will need to obtain the following original documents or certified copies of the documents listed in this section from an appropriate authority (the issuing entity).

Birth Certificate

Court and Prison Records

Deportation Documentation

Marriage Certificate

Marriage Termination Documentation

Military Records

Photocopy of Valid Passport Biographic Data Page

Police Certificate(s)

All documents that pertain to the applicant’s petition are required, even if they were previously submitted to the CIS with the applicant’s petition.

Don't feel bad, I also called them this morning to find out about our interview date and got the same thing. Interviews are scheduled by the NVC the second week of each month for the following month. So if we aren't scheduled by Friday, we're going to have to wait until the second week of September to have an October interview. The guy I spoke with was definitely reading some kind of script when I talked to him. It was very annoying.

Thanks Diana; we got the updated information on the documents that are needed by the NVC to complete the processing. It's just that we are now in the dark on the timeframe for the interviews to be scheduled. I plan on calling this afternoon (being the squeaky wheel ) through Friday, until we are finally supplied with the date for the interview. I hope you are assigned an interview date soon, I will keep you in my prayers.

Same here Tamieka.

Please keep me posted because if you get your interview either tomorrow or Friday, we might have gotten it scheduled too. Won't that be fabulous?!

That would be fabulous. So far, no interview date, but I am keeping the faith that we will be in the batch
