Thanks I am so nervous but at least I am following JG's advice not to stress about it! I know it's there just out of my grasp. One question I do have is must I send the original NOA2 to Marlon or will a copy suffice? I have heard of people getting charged for misplacing theirs!?!? :blink:

I took Andre the original.

With conflicting work schedules, this isn't going to be much of a holiday weekend for us. If I am LUCKY, I will have all day Monday off. Alone, probably. Our big plan includes some Bar-B-Que, Some Guiness, and roasting marshmellows to make S'mores. Andre has never roasted marshmellows and since he's seen it on TV, he is obsessed with doing so. We cut down some tree branches last week in anticipation. Hope it's as fun as he imagines it to be.

For the interview? I thought it wasn't needed until AOS?

Thanks for the responses, JG and nannygirl. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to dig up a year's worth of each.

Wow. I've never seen that on ANY list of docs for the interview. :( I better take it to be sure.

Recent interviewees, did you have it with you?

Happy Friday Yardies!!! I sure am looking foward to the 3 day weekend :yes: A friend of mine is giving a reggae around the poolside party tomorrow at one of the local hotels. We plan go to... I hope it will be a good turn out, they haven't done very much promoting :wacko::blink::whistle:

I have a question.... I am wondering if I have a confidential wedding will it make a difference when I go to AOS?? Will they see it as a problem because it isn't public record?? I only plan to keep it that way until we have a religious wedding which will be in October.

A confidential wedding? As long as they issue you a marriage certificte. All they wanted from us was an original marriage certificate....no pictures or anything. So, I say no, it does not make a difference.

I took mine, but they never asked for it. You should probably take it just in case. Every interviewing officer is different. We weren't asked to show "ANY" proof of relationship. I wasn't asked for any phone records, pictures, airline inteneraries... Nothing :no: I had this big binder full of stuff, and never even pulled out most of the things in there. The only thing she asked me for was to see my passport so she could see how many tumes I've visited JA. I would take everything you can get together and then some, better to have too much then not enough :thumbs:

Ummm hi everyone? I hope I haven't inadvertantly made people mad at me. It seems that lately when I post I am ignored. So if I offended anyone, sorry?

I just wanted to pop in and say hi. My NOA2 should be right around the corner.

I will have so many questions post NOA2 stage and I hope I don't become a pest!

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Ignored..on here never...i agree it has been a little slow on here..any has anything new and exciting going on..even a topic they want to chit chat about ?

I have a question...Does anyone on here SO has kis outside their marriage prior relationships ?

Javon's has two. His daughter who lives w/the mom and his son is w/him. We're going to file for my step-son once Javon's arrives and get settles.

Marlon has a 6 year old son who lives in England. Cute little guy, EXACT replica of Marlon!

Oh yeah, today is my 31st birthday! :dance:

Happy belated birthday Sarah!!!
