Yardies, at home and a farrin'

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to pop in and say hello.

Welcome to all the newcomers and congratulations to all advancing in this process!

For all those still making adjustments, hang in there. Life always presents us with challanges. If it's not one thing it's five

For all going to Jamica soon, enjoy!!! I just returned last month myself and am missing it already.

Tenika(Bloomfield) and Squitto(Windsor) and Michele(me-Bloomfield) (repping CT) we have to get together one weekend. I'm going to see the Lion King at the Bushnell and have to start packing for a move the next couple of weekends; but if you're in town in June... BTW I just purchased a condo and will be moving back to "hard hittin' " New Britain .

Everyone have a great weekend and holiday.

Michele

Sounds like fun.

Happy Mother Day. Damien have to work tomorrow so he gave me money to get my nails done and go to brunch tomorrow with my friends. We're going out tonight so I can beat him in bowling and pool .

Have a wonderful weekend

Henry just got a new job. I'm so happy for him. He has this dream of being a plumber, I don't know where it came from...but he just got hired as a Plumbers Apprentice with a Plumbing, Heating, HVAC company. They are paying him $15/hr and he gets us both health insurance and 2 weeks paid vaca! It is his first big break since he's been here and he is so proud. I am too!

MY Gosh that's good money!!!!!Congrats....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL I hope everyone enjoys their weekend...I'm working as usual

We plan on moving to Jamaica in 3 years so would he have to file for permanent residencey anyway?

Should he?

How long can he drive on his Jamaican license?

Most of my questions would pertain to after he gets here and up until the time we move.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Darlene,

I'm a bit confused Why would you go to all the trouble of filing for a K-1 or a K-3 Visa if you guys are going to move to Jamaica eventually anyways? Just curious.

Good morning!

We want to put away as much money as we can so that we can live somewhat comfortably when we move. He will get a job easier than I could. The house need to be completely done and paid for.

I can't wait another 3 years to be together.

I'm still confused, Why will you have to wait three years to be together. Seeems like it would take more than three years (of working here in the States),to save enough money to live comfortabley even in JA?? It still seems like a lot to go through, If your just getting ready to file, he will most like not get here for another six months to a year. Then it will take another three-six months for EAD, and hopefully not a full year for a green card as it has taken a couple folks here. Will the house be paid for in that amount of time??? What kind of Job will he be doing in JA ? How long will it last? Can you live with him supporting you? Are you planning on rasing children there? Everytime I mentioned moving to JA my husband was always like no way we could never live there....not until we retire at least. It's beautiful place yes but It's a hard living. I would encourage you to think long and hard before moving there.

Two weeks from today my daughter, myself, my cousin and 3 daughters will be in JA enjoying an all girl relaxed, fun trip. Can't wait to be on the beach.

Damien won't be joining us because he thought he would have a new job by now and didn't want to take off May and July. And he hates to take off and lose money - an extremely hard worker. He's been at his job for a year now and never been late or missed a day. He received a few phone calls from employers this week so hopefully something will happen very soon. If nothing comes through then he may buy a ticket and stay with brothers.

It's going to feel funny being in JA without him if he can't make it. But he still have the July trip to look forward to

Hello ladies,

I'm at work today unfortunately. I have worked every Saturday except for Easter weekend for over 2 months now It's nasty weather here in Michigan - rainy, cloudy, and kinda cool. There's a huge green blob on the radar over the entire Midwest area so it looks like rain for a few more days

I finally got caught up on all the chatting you all have done lately Some very interesting topics came up. Hopefully we will continue - I miss all the pages and pages that we used to chat (you veterans will know what I mean)

Hopefully, I won't be on here all alone today. I'm stuck here til midnight tonight Tomorrow my sister and I (and the hubbies) are going to my mom & dad's to get together for Mother's Day. Hope all you mom's have a good Mother's Day too!
