I'm headed to the gym gotta get this gut down before the big day.. For the record I HATE SITUPS!!!!!

Girl, I cut out carbs for 2 weeks now and I've lost 11 lbs. But I know as soon as I put a grain of rice in my mouth I'll gain 50lbs. When I cut the carbs my stomach went down. I really don't have a stomach, just a lot of HIPSSSSSSS and ASSETS Last time I went to the beach the rastah dem was asking my fiance if he needed some HELP...mi tell dem fi GOWEH! Their mouths were wide open

Well babay, I got PLENTY of stomach.. and it makes me sooo mad becuz I don't trip about my weight, but when u have chicken legs and barely B cup "girls", then di belly nuh wuk!

Lawd GAAD Quanah you a kill mi............. I love my size, but on the real my cholesterol was a little higher than were I like it to be. It's usually around 175 and it went to 189 too close to 200 for me.

If those visa specialists get paid so well, they should be doing a better job!!!!

They do not work at the Embassies...only in DC. Those are consular officers. Visa Specialists do not approve or disapprove visas. Their jobs are interesting. Two of my friends work over there.

Consular Officers make more money because they live in Gov'ment housing for free Still mad about passing up a job in Kingston last summer

Good morning yardies!!

Do u think having a fiance/spouse/ friend from JA would affect consideration for a job like this. I remember when I was being interviewed for adjudications officer w/ the Texas Service Center, they asked all these questions for the security clearance.. what foreign trips have u taken? what did u do? who did u meet? do u keep in contact? would u have any reason to use immigration to assist friends and family members? blah blah blah..

it was crazy...They wanted the names and contact information of any foreign friend or relative that I had..thank goodness I don't have many cuz I would have said FORGET THIS!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the security clearance process is no joke. It also depends on your job title. They want to know EVERYTHING that happened to your life in the last 7-10 years. Just be honest...that's all. I had to report a married a "foreign national". Didn't want to jeoardize my clearance. We still had caught up in a FBI security check during the AOS process

Girl, don't tell me that.

I meant to say got caught up. You can go through security checks anytime during anyvisa process. That's usually the hold up when it takes forever. Just be prepared. Trust me, USCIS in Baltimore knows us by name.

Exactly.. cuz I work for Social Security now and we did have a small clearance process, nothing as lengthy as immigration. FBI agent came to my job and evrything..Girl, we have 3 supervisors in my office.. this particular day, mine was not there. So they asked another sup questions..They asked her did she know about my visits out of the country. She told them she knew of one (jamaica) becuz a couple of ladies from the office went. He gonna say, "yes, she did put that down here, along w/ a trip to the Bahamas in October!!!!!!!!!!!!!" What the heck!!!!! How he just gonna be offering information like that. He asked her a question and she answered, end of story. I don't give people at my job my personal business like that, hell she couldn't even tell him how many kids I have and I have been here 5 YEARS! I couldn' t believe he (a SECURITY officer) was so open w/ personal info.. I should have reported his RASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During my initial cleance, they asked my ex-boyfriend if we were sexually involved . I put his name down as a reference...that's it...not as a bed partner.

It seems they can ask whatever they want. I work in HR so my potential employees have to wait forever during the process...they always call me to tell what the officer asked them...some stories are so funny.

My old nasty neighbor worked for Secret Service. I was so mad I wasn't home when the FBI knocked on my door....they would have gotten a earful .

I'm back from a hard workout OMG. I think if I gave up carbs I would kill everyone in my path. It is a constant battle for me to not to eat Captain Crunch for lunch and dinner. My gut is now smaller than by butt so I guess the situps are working!! Yahhhhaa.

I wish I didn't have one at all but that's the body I have - with two humps!

My husband and others I know was asked during their medical exams. So tell him to be careful during his medical...they may try to trick him. DO NOT admit to smoking anything in the 3 years...it can lead to a 3-10 year ban from the US....even if the test is negative.

I'm lost dancehall. Why were they checking on you with the Supervisor. Is that for a new job or the imigration process?
