I hope I am at the right place. Most of the USC here are women. Donna and I are waiting approval of our K-1 Petition that is at CSC right now. What things can be done now to prepare for the Interview?

1. Is a Certificate of No-Impediment required by the Kingston Embassy?

2. Can Donna go ahead and get the police report? I read somewhere that it can take 21 days to get.

Thank you for any advice.

I'll try to answer these (when we filed some of this info wasn't needed)

1. Certificate of No Impediment is mandatory

2. Yes - get the police report ahead of time - it is good for either six months or one year (sorry, I'm a bit blank on that one). With an extra fee the report can be ready within three days.

I would wait until NOA2 is received before getting police report - you can call and confirm when Kingston embassy receives your info as well.

Good luck!

Thank you for the response. I was on the Yardie thread when I posted the question. How do I get my questions back over there? I am not sure now it posted here.

I met Donna through a friend from my church. This friend is from Jamaica. My friend's husband is Porte Rican who was born in the US.

I had been divorced. Will I need certified copies of my divorce degree or just Xerox copies during the interview? I plan on going to the interview with Donna.

Best of luck to you and your husband.

Jay

It is tricky to get into the right forum...YOu need to click into the yardies forum and then add a reply. The button is at the bottom of the page. You will get the hang of it.

Yes you will need the original divorce decree for the interview and a copy. Just in case they ask to see it, they won't keep it. I would assume if the seal doesn't show up in the copy they will ask.

Thanks for the well wishes... And ask away. We like to help to have you prepared for the interview.

WE ARE DONE!!!
