I'm just to depressed right now, but I will be calling ms hilary clinton's office, (maybe she'll get my vote. lol) to see what they can do.

I would definately tell the senator that you're pregnant and you NEED your hubby here with you!!! Use that in your favor.

I know what ur feeling...I used to be the same was=y before my Doc gave me anti-nausea meds...don't drink orange juice for some reason it makes aeverything worse. But it will pass soon...

I can't drink orange juice anyways, because I have acid reflux and it doesn't agree with me! What anti-nausea meds were you taking? My doc gave me 6 pills to try but I'm afraid to because it says they cause dizziness and drowsiness

Make sure you Google all the meds the doctor has given you.

My doctor prescribed me some medicine, when I Googled it, it was also for cancer patients going through chemotheraphy and they couldn't guarantee it was 100% safe for the baby.

Was a good 20 weeks before I stopped feeling nauseous, but I think it's worth it to go through the nausea knowing that there's no chance of the baby being harmed by the anti sickness meds...

Kimmy juss to let you know there are some things you can take to ensure a clean medical result.

My ex works for a company that does random drug tests, he was ordered to take one knowing he had smoked that day, so he went sick for 2 days and drank some stuff, took the test and was clear.

But was that a urine test or a blood test? It stays in the blood a lot longer than the urine, and the doctors at the medical WILL do a blood test to test for the ganja.

Wow, because they didn't do a blood test for drugs, just HIV with me, I assumed would be a urine test!!

His was a urine test.

yes he still has to wait for packet 4 to arrive by snail mail, can someone please tell me what was in packet 3 besides the ds-230. The woman at the embassy said the only thing in packet 3 was the ds-230.

I took a binder down with me with some stuff in there, but held off on putting in the finanical information since

• 
  

I wasn't sure when the interview date was and I figured they would want recent bank statements. I told him I would fax that stuff down when we knew when the date was.

What is a no impediment form?

it is a form saying he was never married and it free to marry...this can take a while to get even if it is expidited!!!! so if he hasn;t already gotten then he needs to go to any registar generals office to get it....

ALSO...does he have the new birth certificate?? the one with seal? he can get that at the registar's office as well...

in Packet 3 are all of the papers that he/you will need to fill out remeber to make extra copies of them because some of them you will need a couple copies of..

I'm not sure what was in packet 3 for my fiance. But initially, no form is needed other than the DS230. Your fiance has to hand that in to the embassy before they will schedule his interview. I don't know how they do it regularly, but my fiance got a phone call from the embassy with an appointment to pick up packet 3. I had the DS230 all ready and I sent it to him so when he was supposed to be picking up packet 3, he dropped off the DS230.

After that you need to have

1. DS-156, which you can only do online because you need a barcode on it.

2. DS-156K

3. DS-157

4. I-134 with supporting documents

Those are the forms that you can download and if I can find the link to the correct ones I'll put it in.

He will also need to get

5. Police certificate

6. No Impediment Certificate - he can get this from the Registrar General in Spanish Town

7. hi passport and birth certificate if he doesn't already have them

8. birth certificates for all of his children if he has any

9. passport photos, I think 6. He'll need some for the medical

10. medical appointment. He can schedule it when you know the interview date

I'm sure I've forgotten some things, so someone fill in what I'm missing.

They scheduled his interview soon after that. I emailed the embassy to find out his interview date.

Link to forms to download

$100 paid interview receipt

$40 for courier.

Has anyone heard of these new phones or phone cards (I am unclear on which it is exactly) floating around Jamaica? Two of Andre's friends and his mother called us over the weekend harping about these phones (maybe phone cards?) they pay $1,000JA a month for and they can make unlimited phone calls EVER international LD phone calls. Since they called us and chatted forever (something they never do), I am guessing they aren't lying.

Ask your S/O's to ask around about these. Wish I had had the opportunity when I needed it.

no impediment form - we are married now so does he still need it?

He got a new birth certificate last year

so packet 3 is a different set of papers from the ds-230?

I think this is the b-mobile phones, I saw the ads in ja last week, it just send free overseas calls. Hubby was talking about this, I'll ask him

[*JG* 2]

Just talked to another friend and Found out that phone I was talking about is called MEGAFONE. They say it is a little hard to find. Worth it if you ask me.

YES!!! They are great if you can get an area where there is great reception. My fiance and I have been using this phone for about two months. It is called Mega fone and it requires a 1,000 JA a month for a phone card. The calls are unlimited when they call canada or US but they are not able to use it for local calls. I am so grateful for that phone because it cuts down high phone bills or those Damn phone cards.

They are not difficult to find. Kingston, Black River and Santa Cruz carries the phone and cards.

Yeah, me and finesse are on the same day. Wow, I hope that's not correct.

I wonder if what was heard on the radio about not giving visas until June was referring to other visas? Isn't there a certain limit to the number of visas that are allowed each year? I don't know if it applies in K1 or K3 situations, but each country has a limit.

On another note:

I went to the store yesterday and picked up a file folder for the interview. It's a cute one, too. I was loading it up last night, labeling the sections. I started to get really nervous. Just looking at all of the documents, all of my information, all of the time that I've spent on this. Just got a flash of how big this is. When did you guys start realizing what a huge deal this is, this preparation for marriage and life with someone?

Just last night I started having a breakdown with the ideas of how serious this is. I am getting married! That's it kuput, the end...of the beginning! I just started getting scared about him being here and starting a life together and all the struggles we will undoubtably face and I just broke down! I'm gonna be somebody's WIFE? What is that?! Whats good though is that we are able to openly talk about these things and he helps to keep me grounded. He reminded me to put my focus and faith to God and trust that he will help us through our lifes journey. I know that I can not get through this without God and HE has been my main companion in it all. When I feel lost in all of this I know that I am getting further from God and I need to bring it all back to Him and then it all begins to make sense to me again.

I completely understand ya on this one!!!! I had never been married before, actually no desire to even "go there" until I met Craig. I was sooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous and anxious ALL of the time about the *thought* of being married and this is someone you'll spend the rest of your life with!!! Everytime I thought about or looked at the mounds of paperwork made me think.....this is it !!! Craig and I have been through ALOT, it amazes me all that we've been through!!! This entire relationship/process tests on you soooooooooooooooo many levels. Even after we got into a stupid little disagreement yesterday, we're all huggy kissy afterwards. He says....isn't it crazy how one minute we're this and the next we're "back" to our real selves??? It's totally flippin crazy !!

I do know that I truly truuuuuly wish that I would have known, beforehand, what I know now about the stuff that we have gone through (like most others when their man/woman arrives here). Everyday, I still can't believe I'm married. Saying....husband...still feels kindof weird.

Waiting and waiting for him to come through those white doors at BWI .............and then seeing him for real..........that's when I really knew ...wow, this is truly it !!!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend ! My sons team made it to 1st place in their bracket and then lost in the semi-finals, it was a total bummer. It was hot and exhausting!! I felt like "I" played....

You I forgot the name of it, but i'll try to find out for you...it worked like a charm once you feel nausea coming on u take one and BAM gone

My husband did a urine test about 3 weeks doing the cleanse things and he was positive...So now he has been clean going on 2 months...by the time we get a date he will be fine...and i found a doc that will give him a blood test b/4 he goes for the medical

It is actually a phone..it's called the MEGA PHONE you pay $1000 JA/month and calls are unlimited...it's only sometimes you can't get connected..but it's worth it

Hi everyone,

came back from JA last night,

question - does anyone have a june interview??

Hubby sent the ds-230 by courier on Monday to the embassy, I called the embassy on Friday to confirm that they recieved the form and they said yes they got it. So I start asking about the interview date. and my girl says call back the end of JULY to see if the mailed him out the interview packet, I'm like what?????? she says there is a delay because they are not giving any interviews during the month of June and they are not giving out any interview dates right now. I almost fell off my chair.

Can they just stop giving interviews? To me a package sent by the end of July equals a September interview date. So not happy with that!

holy #######! that's completely nuts! i sure hope she has her info wrong. i know that jlvr's fiance has a june interview date. we just got noa2 a few weeks ago and i'm so eager to get the file sent to the embassy. the nvc said that it ought to be sent off within the week. i'm still a bit confused about what's next though.

so when the embassy gives my fiance the appointment to drop off the ds-230, is that when he also picks up packet 4? when is the interview appointment scheduled? why cant he just he do it all in one shot? that would just make everything too simple huh? lol

sarah, i'm so glad you got noa2. how cool that you got it on your birthday!

Yeah, me and finesse are on the same day. Wow, I hope that's not correct.

When did you guys start realizing what a huge deal this is, this preparation for marriage and life with someone?

I had the same revelation when I put my binder together......like this sh*t is no joke...it is a serious deal. When I went to JA at the end of April I took my massive binder to my SO and we went through everything together. I'm not able to go to the interview and I know at this point it is out of my hands..I'm not fretting about it (YET) because what is to be must be..........have faith and all will be well.....

I think it hit me when my friends started to address Kashi as "HUSBAND" I thought wow I'm no longer single or just in a relationship. I didn't know what to call him after we got married . More time mi still get butterflies cause I'm like man I'm really married. decisions I make no longer only affects me I have to actually discuss the situation and take it from there.... Although I must say I LOVE BEING MARRIED !!!

I felt the same way. When I got married I was nervous and scared and didn't know what to expect. It was nerve-wrecking, but now I'm loving each day. Can't wait for him to come home and we can experience marriage life together!!!

They are awesome, been using one for a month, we get to talk for many many hours at a time, many many times a day. $1,200 JA. per month, the phone cost $3,000.

I still cannot believe it.
