I got a PINK SLIP!

[Gooden 0]

We had our 2nd interview on Wednesday 9/24. We both went up to the window (after sitting forever and a day) and the lady behind the counter swore us in, that everything we were about to answer in the interview would be true. She then asked my S.O. to sign his name by the "X" on the paperwork and write my name by the"O" . My fiance who had been previously calm said he was so nervous once we reached the window, that he almost forgot how to spell my name. She then asked him to sit while she asked me a few questions, which were:

When did I arrive in Jamaica

Who picked me up

Did I go out to dinner and or what I eat when I got there

How often do I come to Jamica

Where do I stay when I come to Jamica

How did we meet

When did we meet

How often we talk on the phone

Do we assist each other with money when needed (looking at our money grams and western union receipts)

She asked my S.O. pretty much the same questions, without me present. Then she told him she wished him good luck in the United States and gave him his Pink Slip and instructions on going to airpack to courier the visa! My S.O was so excited and nervous his hands were shaking.

I have a few qustions, if anyone knows answers please let me know.

1) Can he fly here on a one way ticket since this is a K1 visa and not a visitors visa?

2) Does it normally take the whole two weeks to receive the visa by courier or is it sooner in most cases?

3) Should he get a stamp in his passport at the airport saying it's ok for him to work or will we need apply for that separately?

Thanks to you all on visa journey! You've been a great help to me on my Journey.

Congrats!!

Yes he can fly on a one-way ticket.

It can take anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks for the visa.

Since you are K1 he will not get a work stamp unless he enters the US at JFK. Otherwise you have to file AOS and your EAD (works authorization) is included in this.

It was a rushed trip. I got to MoBay on Monday at 8:00 p.m. Got to Grange Hill where my S.O. lives at 9:30p.m. eat, tried to sleep but talked much of the night. Left at 3:00 am by car driven way toooooo fast by my S.O.'s friend, but good thing we left early got pulled over in a road block and then pulled over again for going about 150 when the speed limit is 110 on those little windy roads! (saw the sign with my own eyes) Made it alive at the Ebassy at 6:00 a.m. for our 7:00 a.m appointment.

Sounds like unless I can find a ticket that enters the US at JFK it could be awhile before he can work. AOS is the step after you get married, right? Is this expensive with lengthy processing times?

Congrats gooden

yes AOS is after he enters the US and u get maaried..i think it now cost $1010. that includes ead and such..not sure of the timeline

[justashooter 430]

JFK is no so far from jamaica. if you can get a permission to work there and it's not so much of a detour, go for it.

after you get married you can apply for AOS, EAD, and AP in one submission. the EAD and AP usually take 4 weeks to process. the AOS is running about 4 months from application date if your case gets transferred to CSC.

congratulations on the pink. it's the beginning of a long ride.

Congrats Gooden! I would search flights to JFK - Are you in CA? JetBlue has some direct flights from JFK to CA, and you can find some great deals.

Congrats Gooden.

Gooden, I'm so happy for you. Told you it would work out. Give me a link when you get a chance. I have a few friends leaving from Grange Hill, Westmoreland on Saturday to live in the states. You SO may know some of them.
