Can anyone interpret this for me? I will update this thread when I am able to get through to the NVC while I wait for Mike to send a new DS-230 to me.

so they have the certificate that they are asking for??

Has he lived in ONLY Jamaica since he was 16? I am getting the impression they are saying he was out of the country for more then 6 months.

JG;

He was born in Jamaica and has lived at the same since. The problem on the form is where they ask for the address he lived and time he lived there I omitted to put say for example date he lived there to present. I left out "present" because I was supposed to handwrite it in because that field is a number field and I could not type it in when I filled the form in on the computer. I think the letter is generic and does not specifically apply to him because I called NVC and everything else is okay, even the ubsigned police cert.

Lita or any West Coast Family members,

Can I ask you...there has been alot of talk in the media lately about how upsetting it is for West Coast voters to hear East Coast results...prior to the end of their polls closing.

How do you feel about that! I didn't realize that they do that in the general election too.

Bless,

Gill

Gill, do you mean hearing your results com in before our polls close?

A co-worker and I were just talking about this and other similar things. It is upsetting because for us it feels like our vote doesn't even count. Like they are saying that Super Tuesday will basically decide who will win the nomination. Well our primary isn't for another 2 weeks so what affect does our vote really have? Lots of people ask...why even vote? In my county and state voter turnout is pretty low, I have often concluded that the reasoning behind it is probably because they don't feel like their vote matters. Or when it comes to the actual presidential election. I know many people that have gone to vote when the winner has already been announced because of the time difference.

Why can't we all vote at the same time? or a lot closer together?

I was also wondering about the states that have primaries very early on. How do those people that voted Guiliani or Edwards feel? I think they would feel like their vote was useless since they have since dropped out of the race. What about all those that had to vote so early and didn't get to hear all the latest debates and news...how is that fair?

I think we should all vote at the same time...after all hearing the same speeches, debates, scandals, etc. The way it is set up now makes me feel like it isn't a level playing field.

[Marlita 0]

Well I personally don't think its upsetting. That was the only reason I turned the news on this morning...hoping to hear some preliminary results out of the East. maybe some get upset cause it may give people false hope or if their candidate is down, they may just decide to say the heck with it and not vote on their own end. i can see that being a problem. But most saavy voters in the west should understand that we are always last to get feed in this country, even with reality voting shows like Idol. I hope that wouldn't deter them from voting.

Whey hevery bady deh? De one day me off and on-line, nobady nuh deh yah. Me bored out me mine. Come on guys, entertain me.

[Marlita 0]

oh, just saw your post Yardie. You make a great point about some states voting earlier than others...by days or weeks. Now that IS unfair. I was thinking just east/west coast time difference, but weeks ahead...makes no sense. The one thing to remember is we are a degate and electoral voting country..not a popular vote. So depending on the State you are in depends on just how many votes your candidate gets. So those delegates can really swing a vote. Your votes that you casted really do help get the delegates in your state up and on your side. Also I think i heard that people like Guliani can give their votes to another candidate. Like now you see Guliani supporting McCain so I guess he got his votes. I'm not sure its all so confusing. But after Super Tuesday the elections are not over. they could go well into march as everyone keeps saying. This race is sooo close on the Democrat side it just may take awhile.

Okay then. At least you got some answers. I hate when they send out generic forms and then no one has a clue what the problem is.

I hope it works out quickly for you.

Thank JG, I hope it works out for me soon. He mailed the packet out to me this morning. Lets see how long it takes to get here.

So totally I was reading another thread where people were looking for suggestions for welcoming your loved ones on their first night here. What have those of you who have your SO here did? For those who are expecting their SO, what do you plan to do to welcome them stateside? I get excited just thinking about the fun and exciting things you ladies will come up with

Mike will be in Florida with his dad for a while before he comes here to me (I'm not sure how long, haven't asked)so I have not thought about what I would do .

Hello VJ family.

My daughter and I picked Damien up from the airport. He came on Thanksgiving night so he had his first traditional soul food dinner. I was worried but he ate every crumb.

We rested the next day then shopped for winter clothes and food the weekend. I also took him around to meet my friends and family over the next few weekends...that's all. We were broke but happy to be together.
