Joanna -- You and Adrian are all Roy has been talking about since last night. He thinks the same thing....just calm down and everything "soon come!"

The Embassy is the Embassy.....don't ever expect them to do what you think they should do. We are all here for you and none of us are going anywhere....you just go ahead and vent whenever you feel the need!!

Thanks Mindy and Roy

I guess I was just tired and having a bad day yesterday, I am better today. I am going to try and call the embassy today and see if they have put it in the mail.

OK ENOUGH ABOUT ME WERE ARE YOU GUYS PICTURES...MINDY AND ROY!!!!!!

sjb1221 - Welcome back, did you have a great trip?

Well it looks like I will be going back to the Island for a couple weeks to get the call center in New Kingston back up. Now to call the embassy and try to get an interview for my wife while I'm already in JA. Should be a fun one, if I can even get through.

Well good afternoon all,

Congrats to Mindy and Roy and sorry bout your being sick on the wedding night. That has to suck. I encountered a glitch in mine as I had a polyscopy (sp) the day before ours, so the doc told me NO FUN for at least 2 weeks. I must say, hubby was very understanding bout it all, they offered to postpone, but I HATE going in and I think I would have chickened out entirely if I had had to go back. So...some wedding night, or even honeymoon, huh! We just waited couple weeks while I got our paperwork together and THEN we went off and spent some time together. I will never live that one down tho. Lake said he always hated how the Hindu religion made the brides go back home for a week after the wedding, well he had it WORSE!

So good news guys, we got APPROVED at the interview. I really wasnt as nervous as I thought, and Lake SAID he wasnt but he sure squirmed a lot on the car ride up. I tell you tho, usually driving in Omaha makes me nervous, I was not the LEAST bit nervous...about the traffic anyway.

The lady was really very nice and even tho we had only credit cards as financial evidence, I kept handing her other stuff and that must have made the dif. She even stamped his passport, and told us she was going to approve us and we should get the green card in about 3 weeks.

Thanks to all of you, I couldnt have done it without you and I do mean that seriously, this forum provides SO much information.

Thanks all

Jill

Congratulations. Tell me what questions and information you took for the interview.

Anna (or shall we call you skinny) -- How is your mouth feeling?

Hi All,

It's better but I still can't eat a lot of things. I got so tired of eating chicken so I cooked some curry goat w/boiled bananas, plaintain, irish potatoes, & dumplins (for my daughter). It's the only thing soft on my teeth and I'm not able to eat rice yet. Thanks for asking and girl I ain't skinny yet but I need a whole new wardrobe.

Anna -- I think you are skinny if you need a whole new wardrobe. Keep up the good work -- you are my hero. You are very successfully sending all your lost weight down to me.....

Eric & Joanna -- Any luck with the Embassy?

Darah -- Yes, thank you very much. I used both letters -- yours and Jamie's. I am done with my "packets" Just waiting for the Marriage Certificate, the passport photos (getting those tomorrow) and the Vaccination Supplement (Dr on Friday). Thank you, again!!

sjb -- Welcome back. Hope you guys had a wonderful time!!

Regarding the pictures -- I am waiting for my friend (with the digital camera) to send them to me. I will see her again tonight and bug her about it. I promise

Rhonda is coming home -- this will end the VJ quiet spell

After 45 minutes of a ringing phone, and most people in my office questioning what was going on what I found was, Nickiesha does not have an interview date yet, and they have schedulede April. I was told that I should check with the information desk at the embassy when I arrive as they may be able to do something. (Like someone is really going to cancel)

I want to know too.

Hopefully something will happen for you soon Eric, we're all pulling for you. It would be great if you could get a date while you're there. If not can you get an extension for your job to stay a little longer, or delay your arrival. Just a thought...

Hi Denise

[brownnskinn 0]

Congrats Roy and Mindy.

Congrats Anna on the weight loss.

Shamonya how was JA?? David is finally getting home sick.

The embassy responds like everyone said when they feel like it.

Everyone else with great news congrats.

Everyone have a good week

Hi Denise

If extending my time on the Island come close to having a possibility to end this turmoil once and for all, I do have another weeks vacation left. Though I planned to use it for the interview when it happened anyway. At the office, they know what is going on... and they are more than willing to help.

We shall see, I am the Corporate Jamaican lol... Actually my Mom is from Jamaica and I have Dual Citizenship. Depending on how the startup goes, it's hard to say how long I could be there.

I could be leaving as early as next week.

Worst thing that can happen is it will be a free trip to see the wife. Can't complain....
