babysitting fees are the killer..disney wanted $11.00 per hour for one of their kid camp, or u could do in room for $16.50/hr for two kids. to me that is a bit steep, especially when u want them only when the kids are sleeping at night.

was thinking about Altantis, they ususally have a sale around sept or oct. and would need the meal plan as that place is EXPENSIVE

Sounds like 7000JA

thanks but he is trying to get the passport which is needed to get the police report. He said he was traveling to someplace called Appleton. His brother went here to get his and told him about it. I pray it works out.

He doesn't have a passport yet??? Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought you have to have a valid passport for 6 months before they grant the visa.

Las Vegas would be more fun without kids - But, there is a lot there to do for kids - They are trying to make it more of a family environment.

I want to be anywhere but work right now! I feel so crappy, I just want my bed

Actually they are trying to make it more adult now. They tried the family thing about 10years ago and it wasn't working. Vegas lost so much money.....kids don't shop, kids dont gamble, kids dont drink alcohol. So now Vegas is totally adult...darn near Xrated at many places. Most of the kiddie places have closed down or are soon closing. I have alot of current project in Vegas and it has nothing to do with the kiddies no more. I wouldn't suggest Vegas for anyone with kids...unless you're staying at a timeshare...and I wouldn't suggest a timeshare in the middle of vegas when you have amazing hotels...get my drift. Vegas is the best for single ladies, or couples who just want to have a wild time....hence I LOVE IT!!! haha

I don't think so. Damien got his passport a month or two before his interview. Changes may have changed.

Shrew - it sounds like your case may be stuck in FBI security checks. This can happen any time of the process. Two of my friends who filed for K1 waited almost a year for their approval. Since it's been six months you can make an INFO pass appointment to check the status. We waited 15 months for AOS approval. Granted, we were together but it was still frustrating not knowing. Good luck to you.

Just want to say congrats to everyone who has step to the next level in the process and I hope for the best to everyone else in waiting. God bless you all.

Wrong.

You need to have a passport valid for six months AFTER they issue the visa....

It won't hurt to go directly to USCIS. We waited 90 days for Damien's second EAD and AP..went there on a Friday..they told us no one touched our applications at all. Guess what?? we got the approvals in the mail the following Monday. During our AOS...they couldn't tell us anything until 6 months passed. We chilled a little bit once we found out what the hold up was. Not knowing was a killer.

It may or may not resolve anything...nothing beats a try.

In need of some support please.

Our interview was April 1, and we still do not have a visa. Called NVC, said it was pending-awating administrative processing.

Called the embassy, the lady said it could be weeks or even months!!!

Most people get their visa in 4-5 days and it has already been over 2 weeks for us. Everyone please say a prayer we will have our visa soon. Our wedding is for June 7 and I do not want to cancel!!!

Have people experienced this in the past with Kingston? The lady told me that everything is normal and I should not be concerned, it is just because he is a Dominican citizen and clearance for certain things have to occur there and not in Jamaica.

I am very sad and he is as well, we were hoping to be together in early May and we just do not know!

xoxo,

LaPrincesa
