I just want to be prepared for fees that, might be unexpected. Are they're any hidden fees, the fees I know of is the medical exam$85, the police certificate$80, and the fingerprint which I am not sure the fee for that. Also I would like to know how long did it take your fiance to receive the VISA in hand from the approval date.I was told that they use to give it to the beneficiary that same day if their appointment was in the morning. They would have to come back later that afternoon to pick it up. please share your experience Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome...they have not done that in so many years I can't even remember how far back. on the fees, to cut the cost of the medical in case shots are needed have your fiance get his shot records and take it to the local clinic...the shots are cheaper there than having him get them at the medical...I can't think of any hidden fees...one of the most recent yardies who went through will answer you questions with the PC and fingerprinting....wait did he file for the non-impiedment form yet...you really need to get the PC now

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

The non-impediment is a form that Jamaican nationals must obtain to ensure that they are not married. The form cost $5000JM and has to be ordered from the Register General. It takes about 10 business days to receive. From interview to visa and hand it takes apprx. 7 days, but this can vary. It can actually take up to 2 mnths.
