Interview in Jamaica

[leslyjo85 0]

OK....our DS-230 was received and signed for via DHL October 1st....how long will it be before we receive an interview date? Is there a quicker way than waiting for the letter to find out the date? Will the date be sent to him as the beneficiary or to me or both? Any input would be appreciated!!! Especially if you have gone through the Jamaican Embassy!!

Email consularkingst@state.gov and ask them for an interview date. I dropped off our DS-230 on 5/5 and our interview was 6/15. I think they schedule the second week of the month for the following month. So you should get a Nov. interview date. They should mail your fiance packet 4 with the interview letter, which gives the interview appt time and date and also medical forms. Did he get packet 3 in the mail? My fiance never got packet 3 so I emailed the embassy telling them that I was worried he wouldn't get packet 4 since he never got packet 3 and they emailed packet 4 to me. Good luck!

Thank you. My fiance never did receive packet 3 but I did and ended up filling out the DS 230 and then sending it DHL to Jamaica and then he forwarded that to the embassy. How long should I wait to email them? Do I send it with the embassy number KNG2009***** or some other way....I appreciate your details...and congrats on your interview date!!! I will be praying for you and your happiness!!

Email them with your KIN# and 1st request, 2nd request, etc... in the reference line - seems to take 2-3 to get a response - if you come down to the regional forums, there are a few yardies with similar timelines to you who are waiting for interviews

Thank you SUS...I emailed them yesterday...2nd request...and received an email back saying I would receive an interview letter when an appointment becomes available....others say they knew right away...so I was trying to find out how....our expiration on our approval is Nov. 21....so I am getting nervous......

Don't worry about the expiration date - that is for them, and doesn't seem to affect the interview process - Jamaica is a different animal then other consulates - There are 3-4 others in the Yardie thread who are in the same situation you are -

Lesly;

Last year, I requested that the interview letter be sent to me in the states as well. I got the letter within a week...it took them 6 weeks to get the letter to my fiance in Jamaica...DOS 202-663-1225 will have the information as well, as long as the DS230 is logged in the system at the embassy in Jamaica. Our interview was scheduled almost immediately (3 months out), but I requested that time frame and to my surprise it was granted.

Good luck...the hard part is over...interview is the easiest.

We never received our packet 4. I got the interview date by calling Department Of State 202-663-1225 Press 1 then 0 to speak to someone live and they can provide you with the interview date that Kingston has set

I found out on the Tuesday before our Thursday September 24th interview. It was a mad rush to get Everything in order due to the fact that we never received our packet 4... him or I

Thank you everyone!! I called the number and they said they show the embassy received the forms but no interview date as of yet...they said to call every day until it is in the system...they were very nice!! All of you who replied are so terrific!! Thank you for all of your guidance!!

Hi Leslie On 10/6/09 I had my fiance signed the DS230 pt1 and emailed it back to me I then emailed it to the embassy at 2:24pm and at 3:25pm I got an email from the embassy with our interview date of 11/16/09. In the subject line I put 2nd Inquiry and his KNG2009#.

OK....our DS-230 was received and signed for via DHL October 1st....how long will it be before we receive an interview date? Is there a quicker way than waiting for the letter to find out the date?
