DIMPLES.......

Lord, I ask that you watch over her husband today during his interview. Please deliver him safely to the embassy and watch over him as he is there. Please guide the CO and bless them with patience dear God. I also ask that you also watch over Dimples today as I'm sure she is worry. Assure her that everything will work out. All these things we ask of you dear God. Amen.

I'm going to fax it to him on saturday

what is the dress code for the interview? Jeans and Tims ok? or some dress slacks and shirt w/shoe's?

Firstly congrats to Gill!! We got approved on Tuesday as well!!!! You can wear whatever you want. There is no dresscode. If you have any shyness get rid of it because they talk to you through a speaker where everyone can hear what they say to you! We went there early, checked in. You have to the appt letter in your hand before they will let you in and they check for your name on the list. You go through security and metal detectors, and then take a short walk bacak to where the actual embassy is. You go to the check-in desk, the space is so small so make sure you stand where you can fit, but also so no one tries to take your spot in line. I carried a folder with dividers and all the forms very organized. The reception guy was so impressed. He asked for 4 photos, the DS 156/DS 157, the police, birth, non-impediment, and passport. He checked them and gave us a number and we went in and took a seat in section A. They called our number and requested the same docs the recptionist did, plus my tax info and I-134. She was tossing our stuff around, guess she was having a bad day, but then she asked me to stand to the left and let Andrew be in the center. She checked the docs, kept them and told us to proceed to section B. In section B, you just wait to be called for fingerprinting. Andrew had trouble with this. He is an electrical technician at Federated Pharmaceutical and they work him to the bone literally. The guy had trouble trying to get his fingerprints because they were rubbed off a bit. After that you proceed to section C. This is where you can hear everyone's interview. So many people got denied or turned around because they didn't have all the docs. If you can go with your fiance to this interview..please do! Those who were there without their partner were given a very hard time. Everyone was getting denied left and right and you could hear every reason why...not all the docs, not making enough money, one guy was being fraudulent. He had tried to sneak into the US before. Lots of people were lying when asked questions.....how did you meet, when, when did you get engaged, how, how do you know they love you, where is proof....ect. It was so scary to watch. Then our number was called....we got to the window and had to swear to tell the truth. She asked us how long we have been talking Andrew said Dec. 23, 2005..I said...no, it's 2006. Then she asked how we met and he said myspace.com. Then she got hard in asking well how is it the two of you got together, do you want to marry everyone there, do you date all who sends you a message...just gave him a hard time. He stutters a bit at times, but this time he was having an extremely hard time, so I asked if I could answer, she was rude and said no..he should no for himself. Finally she let me answer, truth is he went blank. Then she asked him when the wedding was and we said June and she told me in my statement of intent I out April, and I said yeah because I didn't know Jamaica would take so long so we had to push it back! Then she asked him what kind of work I do and he answered. Then she granted us the visa. Told us to have a happy marriage! I should have been happy, which I was, but I was so upset with Andrew because he forgot and tensed up..we went to airpack just across the street, and then we left. I apologized to Andrew, we made up and had a great day and I am looking forward to him being here soon. His family is not so happy because he is leaving. They feel like he is abandoning them. his mom won't speak to him and all....so much. if they only would remember how they felt when they found love..once you find it, you do what you have to to keep it and help it grow. We also went to the movies that night. It was his first time there at Carib. We went to see Step Up 2. I had already watched it before. It was a lovely evening and now my family and I are just awaiting his arrival....and our big day...June 7, 2008 @ 2pm!!! To God be the glory for all He has done!! He is good all the time and all the time He is good!!! Sorry so long, but I want you to have as much info about going to the interview as possible. If anyone has any questions, let me know. God bless you all!!

Congrats

Thanks!

Congratulations on the approval!!

Marla did'nt get denied, the lady told her everything will be fine just bring back proof of the file I-130. Did you have that form at the interview?

Thank you! I don't even know what the I-130 is. Honestly never heard of it. Are you K-1 or K-3? I am K-1. Maybe that may be the difference. I can ask my lawyer for you if you need me too. I hope I didn't offend you. I wasn't talking about Marla in particular with the denials and all. There were so many!! Anyhow, let me know so I can look into it for you or gather info if I can. We are all in this together!! Be blessed!!

No you did'nt offend me at all......K1 does'nt file I-130 ........I think all we have to do is wait for a follow-up appt to be sheduled but any extra info is always great. What day is your husband coming to America? Bought plane tickets? And how much?

Cool!! I am trying to get him here this weekend. I have not brought the plane tickets yet just in case it takes longer than intended. He's not my hubby yet...June 7th will be the day !! This airpak express people never answer their phone. They have a visa tracking link, but it is not accepting the info so I just emailed them and I am still trying to call to get a status update. Again...it is the waiting game.

I hope he gets to you this weekend, Delta is the cheapest tickets i can find through expedia.com

And, try this # 202-663-1225 they can tell you if the visa has been issued (printed). Hit 1 then 0 and you will speak to an operator, give them your kng#

I hope so too. I called the number and it didn't even show approved and updated as of yesterday. How crazy is that? I am just trying to keep a good attitude. Thanks for the heads up. i found cheap tickets on Air Jamaica too for about $366 or so. It is only available for Friday or Sunday though. They should try and speed up at this point. We have waited 9 months you know.

nbesaw - Congrats on the approval. I know you are so excited and happy that honey will be here before you know it. The embassy is the biggest problem. Do you know if the embassy has printed the visa yet? That's where the problem lies. Once it's been printed, Airpak tries not to sleep on it; they deliver as soon as they can.

Thank you so much! I don't think they have done so yet. I am still researching an answer. The embassy is a big problem. They want to keep us apart longer...haven't they done enough...God knows though. Airpak is so ready!! They have e-mailed me and assured me as soon as they get it, they will deliver it. I got an e-mail from the manager after sending out a few of them !

Dimples, I am sending pure positive vibes for hubby & his interview tomorrow!

I just got this e-mail from the embassy:

Dear Mr. Stephens:

You are required to do an interview when you return with the copy of your I-130 petition. The earliest possible appointment date is April 24, 2008 at 12:30. I have gone ahead and scheduled the appointment for that date.

Regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit

Does that mean that I have to go to the interview or just Marla?

[SupportOAFJF 0]

I don't think so Jason, they would have been specific there was a couple on here that she (fiance) had to go to the interview and they made it clear on the blue slip...i think they just addressed to you cause you sent the email...

[Yaads 0]

That is how I would interpret it as well. You could always email them back to clarify if you want but I am not sure I would want to open that can of worms with the embassy.

[Mrs. Cole 0]

Everyone please pray. I have called the visa center just to check on the status and they have stated our case is under administrative processing meaning they need additional time for review. How so? They didn't tell us that at the window. They approved us and gave us our pink ticket to airpak. I am so confused at this point. I don't know what to do, what that means or anything. I emailed the Kingston embassy and I hope they write me back. What does that mean? He does stutter a bit, and did that more than I have ever seen him before but he was nervous and the lady was not that nice. I want to cry:(!!!!!!!!!

(((HUGS))) I know it is hard to imagine another delay but please don't worry! It could be something as simple as waiting for a namecheck to clear or a supervisors signature on the case. I have seen others with administrative processing through Kingston and it is never too long. I think that is just a term they use to encompass a whole lot of things. You were approved...that is all there is to it. I hope and pray this little delay is nothing major and you get the visa asap.

Thank you so much. I feel better and I am encouraged . I thought it was just me with the whole admin processing hold, but like you said we have the pink slip and no one can take that away!! At least I don't think so, lol
