Hey guys I am restarting your great thread as it got too big and slowed down the server some.

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

Welcome Clairern!! All the best with your visa journey!

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??? :help:

No only 3 and my bank is on the internet. They didn't even look at bank statements.

Phew thanks!

Also welcome to Clairern!!!

No problem. Don't stress to much about the interview it will go fine.

Thanks! I really appreciate that! You know how the mind works and all the lil niggly "what ifs"! lol

Yep I understand LOL. Just make sure you have an organized folder and it will go smoothly. Everyone was ewwing and ahhing over my organization. Just send Marlon an organized folder and things will go smoothly. I wonder why I even worried in the first place. All the best.

Can you suggest what type of folder that is not too heavy and can be sent at a lower cost?

MoBay Hope Medical Centre

Rose Hall, Montego Bay

(876)926-7401-3 (I'll assume that means 7401, 7402 and 7403)

US$95 for adults

Andrews Memorial Hospital

27 Hope Road

Kingston 10

(876)953-3981

US$90 for adults

Dr. Michael Banbury

Medical Associates Hospital

18 Tangerine PI

St. James

Kingston 10

(876)908-2123

US$80 for adults

Can someone please let me know if I have lined the information up correctly, matched all the names, addresses and phone numbers?

Just a paper one with the metal clasp in it. You shouldn't have to spend more than 10 cents for one. Then whole punch the copied items and buy a few plastic sleves for the orginal items.

Can you suggest what type of folder that is not too heavy and can be sent at a lower cost?

We have been planning for one ever since the wedding. It just hasn't happened yet.

It's kinda hard when you're in 2 different countries :lol: Don't worry, now that he's here, baby soon come!

I think we are waiting a few months now. No kids until Dwain finshes his first year of college he says. I think it cause he wants that blue PT cruiser we saw at the dealer. He told me he would get a job to pay the car payment. We will see if the car is still there once he gets his license. :whistle: Thinking about having a kid now next summer when I am finished with school so planning for May, June or July :blush: . Hope it works.

I called the IRS today and still no ITIN number. They couldn't even find his paper that I sent in April. They apologized but said they have an overload of applications ugh. I really want our tax refund it would help get the car :(

Rhonda have a wonderful night!!

Michele how are things going?

Does anyone have an idea how long the Embassy take to answer emails? I sent an email on Thursday and was just wondering when I should expect an answer.

I don't know if they have improved or not, but they never answered half of my e-mails! And when they did, it took forever.
