Wow, that is fast processing. Anthony just had his done today. We filed in February!

They must not be processing very many applications here :thumbs:

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

ok i will tell him to do that...this is just one confusing mess...ok so 100 for the interview...an how much for the actual visa??? :unsure:

shauna

Thats's it. I think there is a fee to have it delivered, there are also options to pick it up, I'm not sure how much that is as we did not have to do that. We recieved ours at the Embassy. Not much tho.

Dee- Out of curiosity...how were you able to receive the Visa t the embassy? I would sure love to do that when we get to that stage.....Unfortunately...no NOA2 approval today again!!!!! Feels like I m 9/12 months pregnant and waiting for the water to break!!!! :ranting:

Happy Friday, everyone!! :dance: Okay, funny Friday story....

Roy was mowing the lawn last night with our new mower from Wal-Mart. I swear, he wasn't out there more than five minutes and the back wheel fell off. Of course, I had to go out and fix it <after he dug through the grass for the bolt that fell off>......:lol: Then, he gets to the backyard and proceeds to mow over an indoor/outdoor rug I had laying on the concrete...why? Because he could, of course. He gets the rug untangled from the blades, turns the mower back on and a TON of white smoke starts coming out the side. And to think, this is what he did for a living in Jamaica :whistle:

Thanks Elizabeth---Actually Duane has alot of paintings. He has been painting since he was 8 years old. Some of his paintings are displayed at Harmony Hall in Jamaica, the National Bank of Jamaica and at a few restaurants around the Island. He has some SERIOUS talent...not just because he is my Boo but really...he has a gift......That is actually how we met..he had an art gallery showing at the Hotel I was staying at while I was on vacation. I went to look at his work and fell in love with the artist!!!!! Go figure..... :blush:

So...he has some of his paintings for sale on an art website. I helped him with it (of course). You can check out some of his work at www.yessy.com/kpounds.

Make sure to do the /kpounds since that will take you right into his gallery.

He sells them in Jamaica and we have made a few sales over the internet. Of course we would give anyone on this forum a "yardies" discount since it is all in the family!!! :P

Thanks again for looking.....

OMG Kim, Duane is soooooooooooooo talented!! I love his work. I had to show it to Squito. If we didn't have this darn wedding to pay for we'd definitely snatch one up. I really love the one on page 3, the river. It reminds me of the river in Trelawny close to where Squito grew up. It's so cool that you guys met that way. I hope he gets approved quickly so he can come up here and sell his artwork!! :luv: Thanks for sharing!!

Poor Roy :lol::hehe::hehe:

Thanks Ms. Squito.......Yep.....I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so I think Duane will do really well selling his art since we have art festivals every weekend.....Hoping to get him over here soon!!!

I understand the "paying for a wedding" thing....I have my wedding planned for August but I think we are going to push it out till Oct or November since thsi whole process is taken much longer than I had hoped. So.....maybe you can grab one of his paintings in the future......Before he becomes FAMOUS... :lol:

Nah, really...whenever you want to check back in with us..you will always have a "yardies" discount! :thumbs:
