Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[Islandwoman 0]

You guys are like poster children for AJ. The more I read, the more I never want to fly them again.

I have always had good luck with them ---until this last trip. I drive 4 hrs to JFK just to hop the nonstop flight to Kingston. I will definitely rethink that for next time!

4 hours of driving in my car would not be worth it to me. Plus parking.

Remember I live in the bush. If I flew from Albany, NY (1 hr away) tickets would be $700 to $800 with at least 1 connection, if not 2. For $370, one tank of gas and parking I drive in the comfort of my own car, stop and shop if I see fit and then take a quick 3 1/2 hr nonstop flight to JA. As long as the moon and the stars line up for Air Jamaica that is.......

OMG....that sounds like way too much hassle. Glad it works for you, though.

It is a hassle!! No such thing as a quick weekend in JA for me - LOL!

Jawi....I see you on this thread. You better write something and tell us how you are doing. Missed you!

Second that! BTW, I knee-deep in the Stella story - LOVIN IT. You truly have a gift for writing.

Finally back.....damn this 'vacation' was like NOTHING I've ever had before....Had to deal with my family and my hubby's fighting and arguing over the baby, Air Jamaica cancelled our flight, we came back a day late.....BUT checked our mailbox at 3am and my green card was in there!

Here's a story for all you guys.

Came through BWI with AP documents for me and my son, we had to go to secondary immigration.

I was talking to the officers, telling them I wanted to do immigration when I became a citizen, they were asking about my job in the UK.

There was this girl there who was pregnant.

Tru mi fass, mi did a lissen......

They were for whatever reason asking her about her visit here.

She had a visitor's visa, last visit was for two weeks in September.

They asked her why she was here, she said for a high school graduation and visiting her sister. They asked her when she was due and then asked where the unborn baby's father was.

She said he lived in Mobay. So, they went out and checked with her sister, they came back in and asked her why her sister said her boyfriend lived HERE in the states. She said it was an ex. They asked if she was going to get married here and other stuff. Asked her when she was due as well.

Anyway, they searched her case etc and then told her on this occasion they were going to admit her. She started asking them why was she stopped and rae rae, until one of the officers was saying if she wanted to argue, he could reconsider admitting her.

Anyways, I came out when she was still there and her sister who was waiting asked me if I came off the Jamaica flight and asked if I'd seen her sister. I said yes etc..The sister then started cussing about how she didn't know why her sister lied about having a boyfriend in the states etc

The sister finally came out and they went.

We were waiting for my in laws to come (whole NEXT story!) and I was thinking it would be quicker to rent a car and drive home. Was walking around looking for car rental info and the immigration officer who I was chatting with about wanting to do immigration came out on his way home.

He said 'What would YOU have done with that girl?"

I said I would have denied her entry on the fact she and her sister had conflicting stories.

He said 'WRONG!'

He said, let her in and see what happens.

If she gets married, her AOS will be DENIED on the basis of her telling them that she WASN'T here to get married and she would be banned.

He said if she goes back down and then tries to enter again, she won't be admitted by any officer because of the notes in the system.

I was like damnnnnnnnnnnnnn.........

hahaha, yeah i hear about this all the time. The notes on your file are what get you caught up. They'll let you get away with just as much as they need to to get you for something bigger.

VETSSSSSS where are you I have a question.

My friend's fiance had his interview April 1st and was placed on AP...now, they've been calling and calling to find out where the visa is and is told that it's still in AP. He gets a call, then a letter from the Embassy requesting that he had to bring the petitioner to the interview which is scheduled for June 24th same day as mine. I looked over her file and all the things that were submitted is more than enough proof. They didn't even look at their pictures or phone bills or e-mails...nothing (as proof). I don't know how much more proof they could want. They've been together 3 years and have a child. That's strange. Anyone else get a request from the embassy that they had to attend the 2nd interview with the benificary? I told her to get a note to the embassy that she can't fly because she's pregnant. I can't believe they would hold it up so long. It's two months. I told her to e-mail the embassy and FIRMLY tell them that she's under doctor's care and cannot fly. Any suggestions other than that? I wish they had told me about this earlier. She just thought that was the normal procedure.

Let's clarify just a bit here, Tre.

Has one of them applied for/been applied for?

Is there a huge age difference?

There must be something that made them think this. Or, of course, you could get that lone jacka$$ CO who wants to make life difficult. I have only heard of one other JA filer who HAD to be at the interview. There was something wonky about their relationship that made them do it, though. I think the relationship was fairly new when they filed.

Odd that the CO didn't look at anything. This is the main reason I say there must be something that set the CO off to do this.

I hate to say it;but if they request the presence of the filer, it is going to seem very odd if she doesn't show up. Grounds for denial.

Uh-oh, is having an age difference a huge red flag when it is my SO that is older than me by 11 years?

I don't think 11 years is a big difference, plus you are the woman so your case is pretty normal. Its usually when the woman is older than the man by a "significant" number or the woman is like 20 years her mates junior. I hate to call out some countires where I see these 50 year old men with 20 year old woman...now that gets a flag, not 11 years.

More good news! I bought the ticket for Louis ... very good price I might say for St Lucia! It is from UVF to Charlotte NC and then on to Manchester NH.. it will be nice not having to drive to Boston too.

Anyway, Lucky guy... gets 1st class for the flight from UVF to CLT! I didnt even realize until I was chosing seats!

I hope he doesnt expect this on every flight we may take in the future! LOL

Not sure if any of you use KAYAK.COM but my friend told me about it and I found this great flight!

Oh and on a AJ note... I still remember my Dad telling me about a flight to JA .. he said there was so much turbulence. Well the pilot was Jamaican and when he landed he came over the intercom .... "OOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE YES! WE LANDED SAFE MON"!

Hey guys!! Thanks for the great info about Negril! I can't wait to go and see my husband. I miss him SOOOO much, and while I know it every day, it seems like I miss him more the closer it comes time for us to see each other!

Ok Ladies, I have a question 4 you--and bear with me cuz it might sound kinda crazy!! LOL...Anyway, how open is your man to using items of pleasure in the bedroom? How open are you? And I'm not talking flavored lubes or anything---I'm talking about THE toys, etc? My husband absolutely HATES the idea of sexual toys..."Wha u need dem fa?" he always asks. I've had to convince him that it has nothing to do with what he's not doing, but hey---he is there and I am here, and sometimes a girl's gotta get it the best way she knows how!! I did get him to open up to the idea about a few sex games (sexual dice, card games, etc) and I'll see how he feels about them when he sees them. Have any of you guys dealt with this issue? Is it an issue with you and your man? I know I may be prying, but hey--we're family right!!??

Hello Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've been on this forum. There are so many new people on the board since I was last on. I wish you all the best in your processes. We're currently in the process of removing conditions. I put an update on the other thread started by Jonesie for removing conditions. I hope to be on this site more often. It has truly helped us in our process.

We are about to find out. I got invited to a "girl's night out" on the 22nd of this month. I mentioned it to him and he didn't sound all put off. Handcuffs are definately a go for him. He loves that idea.
