Were you able to get the EAD stamp at the POE? I believe it's a long process for AOS. I think that you can file for EAD while you're waiting for AOS but it takes a while.

GOOD MORNING YARDIES!!!

OK I'M BACK!!! FIRST I'M GONNA LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT I FINALLY WON THE FIGHT TO GO TO KINGSTON THE NIGHT BEFORE THE INTERVIEW :dance: MY FIANCEE HAS A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN PORTMORE KINGSTON AND WE STAYED AT HER HOUSE.

THINGS STARTED OFF A LITTLE SCARY FOR ME... FIRST WE FORGOT TO GO TO THE PAYMASTER TO PAY FOR THE INTERVIEW ON SAUTRDAY... THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY SO WE DECIDED WE'D GO ON MONDAY... WELL HE WAITED UNTIL 4:30 TO GO TO THE PAYMASTER... WE GOT THERE AND THEY WERE CLOSED FOR THE DAY :help: SO WE WENT ON OUR JOURNEY TO KINGSTON AND FIGURED WE WOULD GET IT IN THE MORNING. WE ARRIVED AT THE PAY MASTER AT 6:00 am... THEY DON'T OPEN UNTIL 8:00. ONCE THEY OPEN WE GO IN TO PAY AND THEY TELL US THAT WE CAN'T PAY FOR IT IN US DOLLARS!!! NOW I'M REALLY STARTING TO PANIC BY THIS TIME IT WAS 8:15. WE GO TO THE BANK DOWN THE STREET AND THEY DON'T OPEN UNTIL 8:45. THIS IS WHERE I REALLY START TO PRAY... I STARTED TO THINK THAT TOO MANY THINGS ARE GOING WRONG... THIS IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. WE GOT THE MONEY TRANSFERED AND WENT BACK TO THE PAYMASTER... WE FINALLY ARRIVE AT THE EMBASSY AT 9:05 :whistle:

ONCE INSIDE THE COMPUND WE WAITED UNTIL 10:15 BEFORE WE GOT IN... I THINK WE HAD THE SAME DRY RUDE WOMAN THAT TEXASBOUND HAD ( WINDOW 12). SHE ASKED FOR OUR PAPERS, I GAVE HER WHAT SHE WANTED, AND MY TAXES FOR 2004-2006, SHE ONLY KEPT 05-06. THEN TOLD US TO SIT IN SECTION B AND WAIT FOR OUR NAME TO BE CALLED. WE WERE THEN CALLED TO WINDOW 15 WHERE THEY TOOK HIS FINGERS PRINTS AND TOLD US TO GO SIT IN SECTION C AND WAIT TO BE CALLED. WE WERE THEN CALLED TO WINOW 22 WHERE WE WERE INTERVIEWED.

THAT LADY WAS VERY NICE. THE QUESTIONS SHE ASKED WERE:

HIM

1. WHEN WAS THE FIST TIME YOU MET?

2. WHERE AND HOW DID YOU MEET?

3. WHEN DID YOU PROPOSE?

4. WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO MARRY?

5. WHAT ARE HER KIDS NAMES?

6. WHAT DOES SHE DO FOR A LIVING??

7. DOES SHE HAVE A RING?

ME

1. WHAT DO I DO FOR A LIVING?

2. HOW MANY KIDS DO I HAVE?

3. SHE ASKED ABOUT THE AGE DIFFERENCE.

THEN SAID WELCOME TO THE US, THAT WE WERE APPROVED TOLD US TO GO TO AIRPAK AND PAY FOR THE DELIVERY FEE :dance::dance::dance::dance:

SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR OR LOOK AT "ANY" OF OUR PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP.

Welcome to the US! Didn't you come over on the CR1/IR1 visa? Then if I remember correctly you don't have to file for EAD or AOS...not quite sure about all the logistics but I know things are different for that visa.

Lovelyjodie~ I found this info on the guides for this site regarding the approved CR1/IR1 visa (I-130)...

If the consulate officer approves your relative's immigrant visa application, your relative will be issued an immigrant visa that allows your relative to become a US permanent resident. Your relative will become a U.S permanent resident only when he/she enters the U.S at a port of entry, until this time, he/she only has an immigrant visa that is valid up to 6 months from the interview date. If your relative cannot immigrate to the U.S within the 6 month allotted time, then his/her immigrant visa will expire, and the I-130 process must start all over again. Also, if your relative is your wife or husband and you have been married for less then 2 years at the time of his/her arrival at a port of entry, then he/she will receive a temporary I-551 Stamp and then later a Green Card by mail good for only 2 years. Ninety days before the green card expires you will have to file an I-751 form to remove it's conditional status.

Did you guys hear about the Pakistan Cricket coach that was murdered in JA?

Story 1

Story 2

Such a sad thing that happens and darkens the reputation of Jamaica yet again :crying:

That is all everyone seems to be talking about. There is all sorts of stories out there saying how dangerous JA is and they took a chance by letting them have the Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean for the first time...and such a boost to Jamaica and then this happens. So discouraging.

More fodder for all the haters out there...like they need any more :angry::help:

Oops, sorry for the incorrect info, lovelyjodie!

Question, please.... for the D156, where they ask for where the passport was issued, it asks for city and province. Is Kingston the city or the province? If it's the city, what's the province? And vice-versa....

this is true....but your EAD stamp is ONLY good for 90 days....you file for you EAD WITH your AOS....and can take up to a years to process...much longer than 90 days
