Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 3)

[Sonshyne 2]

I have a question about the work permits.. I am wondering if the work permits they are giving in JFK are only good for NY?? Or could you use it in Ca. as well?

WE FINALLY GOT OUR INTERVIEW!!! I called these people again today, prepared to fuss and complain, and question whether anyone there worked a legitimate job when the lady on the phone informed me that they scheduled his appointment for DECEMBER 7th....WAIT...I just realized that I didn't ask what time?!! I was just SO relieved and excited!! Anyway, thanks everyone for putting up with my seemingly unstable mood and rantings...I just need to make sure that we have everything in order!!

Congratulations!! Have anyone found out exactly where the Embassy is moving to? A friend of mine in JA said they're moving to a more "upscale bldg" in New Kingston but couldn't tell me where.

I actually was under the impression that they were just renovating some sections and that was it...there was no mention of the entire building moving, as they are only supposed to be down for a couple of days...but I guess I should call and ask SPECIFICALLY just to be on my "p"s and "q"s

Ok..if I need to get my tax returns from 3 years ago, how do I do that? I have never once in my life since I've been working, filed my own taxes (and I've been working since I was 15!!) I've had someone do them for me...anyway, I guess for the interview you need last 3 years taxes and W-2's...is that correct? If so, how do I get my W-2's from that long ago or are they on file somewhere?

You can contact the IRS @ 800-829-1040 for the tax transcripts. I'm not sure how long they will take but try calling from now.

Work permit is valid for the US. It is just a stamp on the I-194 that says Employment Authorized till dd/mm/yyyy. No state specifically.

Congratulations :dance:

Didn't the person who did you taxes give you copies of anything? Do you at least have copies of the W-2's? Definitely contact the IRS and request Tax Transcripts. You can do it on-line and also over the phone. I got mine within a week -- but don't wait too long....

I just called the person who did my taxes and they are sending me a copy.

Welcome Jay---Can I ask, when did u find out that u were given an interview date?

This is Mars. We found out on Monday. Jay thought he could write a more appealing letter than me and it did the trick...or maybe they just happened to have an opening. Either way, we're very happy!

Congratz on all the interviews!!

Belly's Girl you only need LAST years tax return....that is what the lady told me that only are looking at last years and that is what they are basing there decisions on....i would call the IRS or call the person who does your tax stuff and get a copy of your tax return and w2...that is what i gave them just a copy of last years...

i would tell gregory to call and set up his medical...you want to try and get it like 2 weeks before your interview so you know they will have it...

sent the package today!!!!!!!! and mike will be off to Kingston on Tuesday....mike thinks they will re-interview him...i am thinkink not because on the bottom of the paper it said just bring the documents marked...so i am thinking they will just look over it and all should be done....at least i pray!!

I'm happy to say, I now have a perfect set in my purse and 5 days to detox for my medical.

I love it!!!! I can picture the whole scene in my head and it has me dying!!! Thanks for sharing...

That really did bring back memories. I remember while we were waiting in line I was amazed by those guys across the street....now that's the way to make a living :lol:

Elizabeth -- Can you refresh my OLD memory?!!? I remember "we" were talking about drinking "lemon water" in the morning....what was the purpose and the outcome of doing that? I just read about that again but in this article they didn't tell you what the benefit was.....I did it on Monday and Tuesday (forgot to today) but I'm wondering why I'm doing it

Mindy,

I am in the same position as you. I have been having Lake do it every morn this week and I have been as well. But I cant figure out exactly why. I KNOW it helps "detox", and also makes your body more alkaline, as usually most folks have too acidic bodies anymore with their diets. That helps with immunity. But I think its supposed to do some nice things digestive wise too, and helps with dieting for some reason. Ok, Elizabeth, we are waiting for answers..you prolly already posted and I havent read the last page yet...

Oh and JaynMars, great story, loved it.

Congrats to everyone on upcoming interview dates. Oh and Trinilad, I have been meaning to pm you about the sites you posted, great stuff. Always lookin for a way to make extra income, so I love more info. I have NO idea what a 'reset' is. So I will pm and when you get a chance, gimme more info if you could.

Good evening yardies!!

Been busy working and catching up on some good ol' TLC at home........tonight we cuddled for the first time in weeks.......we talked about how crazy life is in the USA and how much "sweeter" our relationship was in Jamaica. We decided that we would try to take some time to love each other again rather than focusing so much on money, work, bills and all the Bullshiiiiiiit that life has to offer in this hectic world.

Congrats on all the interviews and success stories......good luck Shauna and Mike......my heart and prayers are with you...you both have waited too damn long to be together...............Hope all is going well in the Kelly/Craig camp....you two are on my mind often and I hope everything is going great.....

Belly...the paperwork says they want all three tax years.....although some folks only had to actually submit one. The lady did ask us for all three.....I have made "well" over the support limit for the past several years but she still wanted to look to see the pattern of my income. (So she said..) She gave me back the oldest but initially she asked for all three of them so I would just be safe and get them.......Doesn't Mindy say something like....."better to bring everything and the "kitchen sink" just to be safe".....

Good night everyone...back to my cuddling...

YES, bring all THREE years of tax returns and W-2's. They took all 3 years of ours!! It's better to be way over-prepared than not have something you need.

I will throw my two cents worth in here and say that all situations are not the same and you should just prepare for the worst case scenario. If you have all that they could possibly ask for, you will know that you are prepared and it will show. There is a general attitude with these officers and the people who check the paperwork that if you start not having what they want, they pick an attitude and it will continue throughout the interview. Walk with all the tax returns, pay stubs, phone call receipts and bank statements you can muster. The officer that interviewed my fiance said to us that when you make life easy for them, they have very little reason to question you . They like things labelled and easily identifiable. Label all your docs and let them give you back what they do not want. As ususl, take evrything and the kitchen sink.

A reset is simply straightening a display or a section in a store. Most store shelves are set to POG, (Plan o Gram) and when people move things around, they POG is now out of order. A plan o gram provides you with the lay out the stores have determined for which product goes where, how many "Facings" there are, which shelf they are on and how deep to put the facings based upon the space allocated. Your reset will involve reading the POG and putting the products on the shelf to match the POG to the letter. There is a deliberate determination by stores in placing products on shelved and end caps. Will be glad to provide any more info needed. PM if need be.
