Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[MyDestinyAwaits 0]

jengles i want to thank you for posting that phone number. it saved so much time! your husband should definitely pick up the interview letter. the lady i spoke to today said that everything he'll need was in the packet including the ds-230 and medical forms. so does that mean that packet 3 and packet 4 are now combined into one?

mail in jamaica is crazy. i've sent things from mobay to morant bay (east coast) and it takes anywhere between 3-5 months to arrive. i'm curious how long the packet that was sent on may 31st will take to reach him in mobay.

I also called the embassy today. The lady told me as soon as they get the DS-230 we will get an interview date. She also mentioned that it would be in August. We are still going to have a courier take the part 1 to the embassy tomorrow. She told me that the packet was mailed out today to Donna. They received 6 packets today.

where in jamaica does your fiancee live? since my fiance lives so far away it'll be much better for him to pick up his packet and drop off the ds-230 at the same time. we don't want to wait 3 months for a packet to arrive in the mail.

Donna lives there in Kingston. She works about 60 hours a week, so it's hard for to get away from work to go to the embassy.

Are the tins of ackee any good? Dwain said they aren't great.

They aren't hugely different from the real thing.....And definitely worth getting when you have NO prospect of getting REALL ackee!

Yea I don't think there is a big diffence either. It taste more like the butter ackee vs the cheese but I LOVE both. My grandmother have both trees in the yard (ground). Here in Chicago it varies from $11.99-15.99 depending on the store.

O.K. Thanks . What do you guys use for salt fish? Cod???

U can use Cod fish...not much difference..some people call it that..

Thanks !!

So I got my bank verification letter today. All it has is the date my account was opened and the current amount! I'm pissed because the lady I spoke with from the bank assured me that it would include the total amount of deposits for the last year. I paid $10.00 for that piece of ####### that ain't gonna help me! So, did anyone print out ALL of their bank statements for the 12 month period for the interview???

Hey guys, I am new to the site, discovered it while surfing the net researching ways to get my new found love to join me here in the US without waiting forever. I am obsessed with this site. I log on every day reading all the interesting pointers and the various journies/experiences that you all have been through. My eyes have been opened so greatly. I am amazed at the process and trying to understand the language and different steps to achieving this goal. After having lived here for over 20 years and not thinking I would need immigration at some point, I am clueless as to the proper way/steps to follow. I have no doubt that you guys will be there for me when I officially start the process.

BIG UP

i would be calling them right back and telling them that they didn't do what they said they'd do. i've saved all my bank statements from the past year and included them with the i-134 even though i have a bank letter. i just wanted to be as thorough as possible.

now here's what has me confused....i don't remember reading that the bio page from the passport was necessary to go with the ds-230. which page is the bio page?

The first page with the photo and information on it. It was just an idea really, not a requirement. As far as the bank statements go, I will be printing out ALL of the statements since May 2006. I need to call back and speak to a banker and have them either correct their mistake or gimme my money back!

What is the current address for the US embassy in Kingston? The address in my letter from the State Department is different from the address on their web site.

I am not sure then. Perhaps a member who recently did the interview could clarify?
