Welcome Trelawny. Good luck on your visa journey.

My husband is also from MoBay.

I only knew my husband 1 year before I applied for him.

We had no problems at the medical in Mobay.

By the way, we live in Fort Washington/Oxon Hill Maryland. Are you near us? There are a few other Marylanders on the board.

Yes, I'm near you, but on the other end of the FAMOUS, MISERABLE, CONGESTED, **($(*$ side of 495. I'm in Silver Spring. You not so far, just the next side.

Good morning,

Just wanted to say THANKS to all those that replied to my post yesterday. This is a vaulable website and I feel like park of the family already.

(1) How long did many of you know your fiance or fiancee before starting the filing process (K-1)?

(2) My fiancee was arrested a few years ago, but was never charged with anything. Both parties that were involved agreeged to stay away from each other. He was never fingerprinted, but had to appear before a magistrate. He's being advised not to discolse this, but I think he should. An arrest means that you were detained for a certain period of time, even if you were not charged with a crime. (Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I understand it).

(3) He lives in Montego Bay...is it better for him to do his physical in Kingston or in Montego Bay. I have a few friends who had problems with the results getting back from MoBay in time for the interview.

Thanks,

Trelawny

Big up all my MARYLANDERS and those from Washington, D.C. (EAST COAST) filers.

Hello Trelawny, welcome to VJ.

1. I married my husband 10 months after we met. We were pretty sure we wanted to get married and thought it would be more beneficial to the both of us in the long run, if he came over as my husband and a permanent resident.

2. As far as the arrest. I say don't ask don't tell. end of story. He'll need a police report anyway once he goes through the K1 process, but if he was never actually arrested and just detained then he doesn't have a criminal record and there is no need to divuldge this personal history. Many people are detained, but it means nothing in the criminal world. I don't see it as a lie to not tell people about this...it will only cause confusion and judgement.

3. As far as this...I really don't know which place is best. I know one is a bit cheaper....but faster...i'll leave that to the other yardies withmore experience.

I knew my husband for just over a year and a half when we filed.

He will have no reason to lie. He will HAVE to have a police record. It will either say something on there or not. I wouldn't SAY a thing. Let the record speak and then explain if you have to.

Andre went to MoBay hope. We had no issues. He even went to a clinic before then to have the shots done before the medical.

Thank you. You must have been reading my mind. I wanted to ask if it was okay to get the shots in advance. That's my thought also on the arrest issue. I told him only to answer, if they ask. Did you attend his interview? One more thing, the packet that he received from NVC, how did he know that his packet was at Kingston? How was he notified? Okay. Now, my head hurts. I have more questions, but can't think of them now. Thanks for your help, again.

Now, i remember, I'm a NATURALIZED US citizen. Wonder if anyone here has an experience with that.

Trelawny.

No, I did not attend the interview. I wanted to fly here with him. I couldn't do both.

We came through in 2006 and things were different then. Andre actually took his NOA2 to Kingston, dropped off the DS-230, picked up the packet, and made an interview appointment the same day. Things have changed since then. I hear you have to make an appointment to even get in the embassy now and they assign dates differently.

Keep this question out there....I think it was Gill who made an appointment recently to go there and pick up the packet. She's gone right now but can probably advise when she gets back.
