You do not need to pay again. We got a blue slip as well and we didn't go back to the embassy for 2 months and didn't have to pay again. Don't worry over it.

you will need a new computer birth certificate not the hand printed one. it doesnt cost that much may be like 15 dollars us. it is the same info just a bit more up to date and more professional.

what a great idea. thanks

My suggestion.....have a file in your computer (or print the information and have a file) name your file

VJ info and everything that has been said that is IMPORTANT information and/or simple things like paying the $100 PRIOR to your interview and KEEPING the receipt (because you take that into the interview with you). You can pay ahead of time, we paid the day before. Keep that information somewhere that the same SIMPLE questions are right there in your "saved" file.

The process is very very cut and dry if you have the information all in one place, you'll be good to go.

Very good advice Kelly :thumbs:

SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!

We got our NOA2 email this morning!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

On a sobering note, because I lived in Jamaica for 12 years, I have to get a criminal record from them there....Sent my fingerprints and notorized photos off two weeks ago to one of my friends in Jamaica so she could get it for me, to the WRONG address!! Right street name, but wrong house number, I missed a digit off :(

Anyway hopefully it will be fine, she went to speak to the people there and they say they'll give it to her when it comes. Just hope they don't think there's anything valuable in there....

Just hoping there won't be any delays with the criminal record, as interviews here are normally about a month after NOA2.....Wish it were as simple as here, paid £10 and got my UK criminal record in two and a half weeks....

Naturalization

Son's N-400 Timeline

hello! i am a newbie, and i have to admit that the amount of information on VJ is overwhelming! i am so thankful to have VJ as a resource. filing K-1 wouldn't have been possible without it! i just realized that there is a yaardie thread so i thought i'd go on an introduce myself to you all.

i've been in a long distance relationship with a jamaican fella for almost 4 years, and i'll be heading out on trip #11 in a few weeks. we are currently awaiting for noa2, and i'd like to bring all necessary documents post-noa2 to my fiance on this trip. so i'll be spending my free time this weekend perusing this thread to take advantage of all the information here.

looking forward to getting acquainted!

~mydestinyawaits

Ditto with all the welcomes!!!!!!

Where is everyone today? I am just looking out the window shaking my head at all the flipping snow.

Welcome MyDesitnyAwaits...Love the board name.

Well, things are going very good. Bert has not started working yet because of the weather but I think he will be starting next weekend and then it will be non stop.

He is anxious to do so but he has been busy painting for me.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday...

WE ARE DONE!!!

He will be working in a warehouse and outside staining swingsets. But the weather is holding up the installers who he will help load their trucks for their days installation.

Once they get going he will be busy.
