For anyone waiting on their Visa Delivery from US Embassy Kingston Jamaica. Please see the post below that was on the DHL website. Good Luck everyone and I pray for unification for all pending families

Please note that due to seasonal holidays in many parts of the world, there will be changes to our operational schedule on December 24, 28 and 31, 2012. During these dates, pickups, deliveries and transit times will be impacted for all of our services, including premium time specific deliveries. Normal operations will resume on January 2, 2013.

dna results two days, they were emailed back to the embassy, but from the time they asked for the dna til the follow up interview which was yesterday, it took october first til Dec yesterday, hurricane, made it postpone a lil, they claimed they had a hard time reaching the guardian was the hold up, the dna company itself works fast. it is the embassy that holds it up, hurricane sandy didn't help. they wouldn't just email me a follow up apt day and time, they had to call the guardian on file in jamaica...the embassy won't leave voice messages because they refuse to allow us to call them. So interview yesterday, all they did was take my kids passports and send them to dhl......I guess they are approved?????? now playing the wait game again. the embassy told me themself, 3 to 10 days business days, wait however if there is a problem it will take longer up to a month.

I hope at the end of this journey you fill out a complete and detailed timeline. This, I'm sure, will help someone else a lot in the future.

I've noticed there have been quite a few people over the last few months who have filed stand alone I-130s for their stepchildren. There is some information about the I-130 process but not specificall

So interview yesterday, all they did was take my kids passports and send them to dhl......I guess they are approved?????? now playing the wait game again. the embassy told me themself, 3 to 10 days business days, wait however if there is a problem it will take longer up to a month.

Sounds like good news! Congrats!

dancehallquana, thank you. I hope your interview is soon too. I know I'm going to be anxious until we finally have the day. They couldnt even give me a timeline for getting an interview so i have no idea how long the wait is. Oh well, I am so thankful to be this far a long and just hope that the interview will be soon.

was talking to a friend who filed for her husband and she was talking about the A Number that was on her husband's NOA2. I had no idea there were A Numbers on the NOA2, as my boys did not get A numbers. Did any of y'all's kids get A Numbers?!?!?

Yeah it feels like a long wait!

I saw it on my NOA2 but it was not my A number, it was my stepfather A number.

But i dont know if they randomly write the beneficiary A # on some NOA2's
