These consulates sometimes do not respond too well to someone exerting influence especially if they are not really doing anything wrong.
I agree :thumbs: You really don't want "them" getting pissed and taking it out on Mike....

well for whatever reason i am the lucky person that the process has been made hard for :(

mike got there and was standing on the other side of the road and the securtiy guard announced....NO BLUE PAPERS TODAY :(:(

Shauna, sorry to hear the bad news :( I will tell you a little story that might make you feel better. When I was supposed to fly down for Tony's interview, Hurricane Ivan struck JA!! All the airports were closed, hotels were closed, and the Embassy was closed INDEFINATELY :o I had already bought my ticket AND Tony's ticket to fly back home with me. I had to pay a lot of money to change the tickets because I missed the "hurricane fee waiver" by ONE day :angry: Just because the airport was opened back up they said I could fly down there. However, the Embassy was still closed and most of the island was without power. And to make matters even worse, I was supposed to spend my birthday in JA with Tony and I ended up spending it in Michigan ALONE :crying: Needless to say, everything was delayed by about 3 weeks but we did finally get the Visa and get him back home with me.

Hang in there ;)

thanks! i'm trying it just sucks big time!! but tomorow mike will go again...and the guard said deffinatly thursday...so i am just praying it really works...

ok question i heard you can express the visa to like 3 days??? how much does that cost and do you need to go back to kinston to pick it up???

Maybe if you mention the flight situation they will let you pick up the visa the next day or the day after in our case, from the embassy?

Good luck.

I am in the same situation ! Interview is on Nov 28 Flight booked for Dec 8th. I was informed that after the interview was approved you then had to pay a courier. After you pay the courier they deliver it in 4 days. Is

this true :( ?

Shauna I can't wait for your wonderful news already!! You and your honey bee will need a few drinks after this experience. My prayers for you guys and hopefully all will be answered.

What is up with my K3 visa I think I am dumping that one. My CR-1 is going faster than I thought. Aos Bill was cashed this week. So now I need to call and ask the operater if they have generated my I-864 form. I think all I need for that one is 3 pay stubs, 3 years of taxes, and a letter from my employer. Ladies is this correct? I hope the operator says it has been generated then I can send the next chunch of paper work in with those James Shortcut things.

I am happy finally I think we have an offical wedding certificate which we will need for the interview. Hubby just needs to go pick it up at the church.

Hope you all are having a goodnight!

One Luv :luv:

I am off for Thanksgiving... But I have to work the day after :angry: which is one of my most favorite days of the year.... The kick off to holiday shopping :dance:

You're brave! :yes: I won't go near the malls that day. They are just too crazy, the lines are too long, there is no where to park, ..... :wacko: My mom and her friend go every year though rain or shine.

I'm not quite so brave anymore.... Last year was sooo crazy :wacko: I thought I was gonna lose my mind!!

Me and my mom go every year. I told her that this year she is on her own.

When Roy flew to Chicago (O'Hare) it was also his first time....I was soooooo worried about him. Turns out, people are a lot more friendler than I gave them credit. People helped him on the plane, when he got off someone took him to the line he needed to be in....then showed him where to get his bag.

I didn't think of this until we were in the car driving home but -- he was on a plane that was coming from Jamaica with tourists (who hopefully had a great time) and with other yardies. Everyone was so willing to help him out. Try not to worry -- it won't be like he is flying "within the States" where nobody would help :wacko:

Thanks Mindy because I remember my first time in Jamaica :blink: they didn't even have a ramp, we went down the stairs on the plane B) . I found it exciting but inam strange.

Tanya

My fiancee tells me he wants to fly here by his self. I am kind of worried about him doing this beacause "we" all know how crazy :wacko: it is in the airports.... Customs, Immigrations, Security, Baggage claim etc.... He tells me to save the money I am thinking it is going to be overwhelming for him :blink: but he insists that he will be fine. I have finally decided to let him do as he pleases. I just hope that he gets the same kind of help.

mike got there and was standing on the other side of the road and the securtiy guard announced....NO BLUE PAPERS TODAY :(:(

i'm a little frustrated because since when does the embassy get to make the rules...on the back of the paper it says nothing about today being an exception....i am just so pissed...i told mike to go and try to beg the officer to let him in because i already booked his flight for next thursday...and well of course he wouldn't...so here i sit for 2 more days until he has to go back....

i just don't understand why these things are being made so difficult for us...i'm trying to be a good sport about it and yes i know he has thursday but there are other problems like the visa what if he doesn't get it in time...the way our luck has been going he won't...i just feel like i am going to have a break down...

I am so sorry to hear but I also agree w/everyone else. It will work out and he will be here soon.

Keep your head up ;) Everything will work out :thumbs:
