Hello Everyone

Happy MONDAY MORNING!!

I have good and bad news. GOOD NEWS. Rohan picked up his paket 4 today . I scheduled his medical they said the earliest is April 6, but his interview is April 13, is than enough time? hmmm

Bad News

Rohan was trying to earn some extra money (to help with the expenses) by doing some painting at church. He fell off a ladder and broke his left hand . My baby is in sooo much pain. The thing with the hospital is that if you dont have the money they wont treat u. So he went to the hospintal for 1000 they gave him an injection 2000 more thosand just to register him, then they said his hand is broke and SENT HIM HOME , and said if you want to see the bone specialist come back Thurdsay and it will be 20,000. He is in PAIN, how can u send someone home with a broken bone, is beyond me. . Not just that look at that kind of money we already were short of money and I have no support to help me financaily with all the expenses. I just found out 335 US for Visa form 100us to paymaster 200 for physical and this does not touch his plane ticket. hugggghhhh. Well what to do. Please pray for Rohan to get well soon

THANKS

YAY!!! We got an approval email for our EAD today. Says we were approved on 3/16 - Michael is soooo excited

Congratulations!!

Good Morning VJers

Anthony is registering for his GED class today. Still no news on EAD/AOS. Anthony is upbeat and hopeful. I guess I'm the nervous one in the family.

That's great. How long will it take. Nervous is not the word for it, I go beyond being nervous about things.

Congrats, Michael.

I'm so sorry to hear about your honey I can't believe they didn't set his bone back in place and put a cast on it! What's he gonna do now? It won't heal right if they don't set it. The entire health care system in Jamaica is so jacked up. That's one of the reasons I could never live there. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts.

I do not believe you have to pay the $335 for the K-3, that is for the CR-1. You just have to pay it later when you file AOS. They make sure they get you one way or another.

Tenika -- So sorry to hear about Rohan's hand. That really does SUCK that everything is so much about the $$$ Hopefully everything will be okay with that.

But your Good News is really great!! Yes, that is enough time between the medical and the interview. They never schedule them more than a week before.

For Paymaster you only need $100.00 (not the $385 -- that's for the Immigrant visa classification). And, if it makes you feel better, we thought Roy's medical was going to cost close to $200US and it only cost him (about) $135.00.

So sorry to hear about this. I can't believe that they sent him home w/o setting it. Won't it be to late to set it when he goes back?

Please allow me to divert a bit form the normal flow of this thread..................

I am very frustrated now.................I've been calling the doctor's office since last wednesday to make my appointment fro the medical and the receptionist keeps on taking my number saying she will get back to be because the person who is in charge of scheduling my appointment is not available no one called me back so i went in to the office this morning and to my surprize the lady told me that they are all booked out for this week and it will be too late for next week because my interview at the embassy. However i called somewhere else that is over a 100 miles form me(i'm in trelawny and this place is in kingston) and they gave me an appointment date for the 27th but when i hang up the phone i realized that the 27th is just 6 days from the interview and the embassy stated in package 3 that i should do the medical at least 7 days prior to the interview..............now i'm worried that i may have to be schedule for a different interview date.

Yes that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. It's true that they don't do much for broken bones other than to set and cast it, even that they do based on the type of break. Hopefully it wasn't a bad break and will heal fast.

Dee -- Go into the Guides here on VJ. You can "link" to the 2006 Poverty Guidelines from there. <MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE 2006 GUIDELINES!!> I agree with Rhonda for your 2005 taxes....include a copy of your W-2 -- and maybe a little note saying you haven't yet filed....the worst that could happen is you get an RFE -- and by that time your taxes will hopefully be done.

Thanks for the replies all.

Having at least seven (7) days before the interview is preferable. Nobody will make the appointment for much more than seven days before. Six days shouldn't be a problem.....if you go to the interview and the "medical" hasn't been received yet they will just have you come back. You will go through the rest of the interview -- just won't be approved "pending" receipt of the medical results.

I believe this happened to someone last November/December.

Oh Gosh. Please dont say that

I hope that it does heal correctly without them setting it. I am angry about this. My poor boo. I told him to go back to the hospital. I hope they were incorrect in saying it is broken, The medical system there needs help. We are blessed to live in a country where they have to treat you first, then worry about the bill later.

ERIC- I hope you are correct about the $335. I really cant afford it. but it says I need it on the check list

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THIS FEE?

In packet 3 there is an Attachment which says..under the section Your Visa Interview, it says

You must also bring the following forms. If you do not bring them, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A VISA

1. US$335 (or equivalent in Jamaican currency at rate of exchange used by the U.S Embassy) for each applicant'S immigrant visa fee

...

I also just realized one of the forms, say I need an I-134 Affidavit of Support and the list above number 10 say I need a I-864, which one did you guys turn it?/

Thanks I appreciate all you guys help

thanks for all your prayers and eric's information has given me some hope. i was so overwhelmed about the situation. its is really hard to deal with. but now i see it might not be so bad if i can appeal it.

Hi Maria, I recommend you talking to Jill (christinejames) in this case. Her fiance was also denied due to weed in her system back in Apr 2005 and was also given the option to appeal. Well after talking to lawyers and the CO in JA she realized there was nothing she could do. I don't remember everything that happened so maybe you can email or send her a PM. I'll also tell her about your case.
