Hello everyone,

It is very difficult for other people to understand what we are doing and why we are doing it. I dont get so much of the prejudice stuff (I am white too) but the age difference and the different culture thing is a problem for some people. So many people have doubts about whether or not it is "real love" of an opportunity. That why this site is a gift. Only WE understand.

Continuation of our saga: I wrote the embassy today and they actually wrote back, miracle. The letter about the embassy doctor was just about immunizations and he is fully immunized so we are okay there BUT .. we are being "di****ed around" by the Registra General's office. We ordered the no-impediment back in the beginning of February, if you are a religious reader of the thread you know what we had to go through to get it in time for the last interview. His name was spelled wrong and so we had to request a new one that was supposed to be couriered to Ricardo last week. Now no one knows where it is and I am beaten. The courier says they dont have it. The Registra General's office said they sent it out. If we cant get it by next week I will have to cancel my flight. I will not go down there again unprepared, do to no fault or ours, and be turned away again. I am trying to get an answer but the clock is ticking. I will definately let you know how it turns out......

I think we all go through these problems, some with friends most with family. My family has no idea what is going on. I wanted to go through this process without anyone's negative in put. My mom knows I'm going there tonight and that I will be going back next month. She's asking me why I'm going so many times that close toghter.... I told her because I work hard and can afford it .

As for your saga.... I wish you all the best wishes there are that you'll get the non-impediment in time. Keep calling the registar generals office everyday!!!

I am going to keep calling and calling and yes he might just have to make another 4 hour trip to Kingston to pick it up, I only hope that it will be ready in time and that he can.

Most of my family is great and like I said it took them 8 years to accept it but they love my hubby. It is only my granny and one aunt that are so rude. They were so mad that they didn't get invited to my wedding in August. I invited all my other aunts but her and my granny never asked her because she was in a wheel chair. When people don't have a positive out look on life and always complain about things drive me crazy. So rounding myself with positive vibes is what I like that is why I come on here.

Wishful thinking she would change over time.

Anna thanks for sharing about being private I think I need to start being more like you

Thanks everyone for sharing their stories.

Congrats to Trinilad and Darlene. Congrats to all recently received their visas. Safe travels and best wishes to those scheduled and rescheduled to interview in the coming days and month.

Best wishes also to the Squitto's and Darah and Henry with their recent/upcoming relocations.

For those whose families/friends/loved ones are not supportive of their relationships- a word of advice that my mother used to say to me: "you can't please everyone, so why worry trying".

There's always going to be one or two who will disagree with your choices regardless. For those dealing with outright prejuduice it's disappointing and discouraging when someone you love displays those qualities. Hopefully in time they will see that their views are not justified; but sadly- don't count on it.

They have got to make some provisions for you since it is their fault. I would think it should be no problem for them to reprint the certificate and Ricardo can pick it up. I know it's a long drive to Kingston, but it would be worth it to have it a few days early to ensure there are no other issues. Call the Registrar General's office again and tell them you have to pick it up personally in time for your interview. Insist that it has been paid for, it was screwed up the first time, and it is imperative that you have it by Wed. of next week (the 21st). You've come too far to let this be another delay!!!

I have a question regarding the medical....

I told my fiance to ask for a copy of what they send to the Embassy (I saw on this thread that you will need it when filing paperwork later down the line). He asked them, and the doctor said they can't provide a copy because it is confidential and is to go directly to the Embassy..... Here is my issue.... we paid for it, so shouldn't we be entitled to a copy???

Will we be able to get a copy at the Embassy??? My fiance says, "don't make an issue of it. We will ask at the embassy and if they say yes, we accept with a smile, if they say no, we accept with a smile. We don't want to mess anything up".... It's true that I don't want to put us being approved of the visa in jeopardy, but still.... it's the principle of the matter. We paid our money to get his medical, and we are entitled to a copy of the results.... It's his body!!!

Has anyone else experienced this, and at what point can we get a copy.... I am not one to bite my tongue.... but we have to get this visa so.... I'll have to figure out another way to get my point across
