YES, I am shouting THANKS. Peter and I want to thank everyone in JAM for all of your prayers, jokes, chitchat, laughter, stress relief, mental support, and thanks to the Lord up above for hearing our prayers.

Here is my part of the process: Wednesday, I went to NCB to pay for visa fee, Thanks Sweet for asking that question, I had him write a note took his passport and paid the fee. That night I went over all paperwork again, making sure he signed everything, put all the forms in order, I made a cover sheet, and binder clipped all of my financial stuff together. I color coded each section like all forms behind yellow sheet, further proof of relationship behind pink sheet, I-129, behind green sheet, added his medical packet. I reorganized my photo book, we took some more pictures when I got here. We headed to the embassy at 5 am. We were rushing because Peter forgot where the embassy was, and with a lot of traffic we made it at 8:45 am for his 9:30 am appt. We brought his brother and cousin with us so they can park the car and keep cellphones. We cannot bring lotions, etc.. In so I left my bag in the car. When we arrived there was no one in line, so they checked the paperwork, similar to what others said. We went in they asked about cellphones, we went through the screening, and walked through the courtyard to the heavy glass door. The gentleman took his paperwork and checked it. He was assigned A154, then they asked me to go back into the courtyard. I asked to go into the US Citizens section in the AC and he said NO. Which was even better, cause I sat next to the snack bar, and I could see him through the window. I was the only petitioner there, so security and other staff were chit chatting with me. Making sure that I was OK. The security guard advised me to sit on the back row cause the sun would soon come out. I watched people go sit on the visitor visa section, they processed about 300 people, some were MAD they did not get through. Peter came out twice saying he was freezing, and to check on me. I sat and waited and then.....next to come on consulate Review.

Fiancé Reports: He went into interview area, he sat for about an hour, then they took fingerprints he had to complete 3 forms, including one for DHL, and swear that we would not get married in Jamaica. He sat back down and waited for about two hours. There were on six people left for K-1, or CR-1 visa, so the manager called people from the back to come process the 6. The white gentleman called him to the window, and said he already went through his paperwork, so he will ask him his questions. The officer mentioned to him that his paperwork was very organized, he had no problem looking for anything. He said they both smiled at each other, fiancé still introduced himself to officer. He scanned his prints again and swore him in. The officer asked him, how we met, how did we build a relationship, how do we talk to each other, how many times have I visited, he told him I was here outside, he said officer smiled, asked where do we stay, he answered and told him my last two visits I stayed at him house, office asked him do you stay alone or with your family, he answered I live in an apartment alone. He asked did I send money western union, he answered no, I work. He asked has he ever been arrested, he asked did he smoke, officer told him that his medical was fine. He looked at our pictures and asked questions about who was in each one. He then asked him KNG or MBAY, then my fiancé said what, he said where do you want DHL to send your passport, then my fiancé said Ooh I guess MoBay. The officer laughed. He gave him his passport, officer gave him DHL slip, and he came out the door. We went over to DHL window and payed for delivery to MoBay. I could see a big delivery bag of visa sitting next to the door.

I looked at all of the past reviews and the questions that they were asked and compiled a list of questions for him. Make sure he knows how to spell your name, as there are several forms that need to be completed while he is waiting for his interview and they include both of your names.
