I read somewhere that they can ask for the originals at any time. But that might have meant at the service center before it gets to NVC. I just sent it anyway, just in case.

[jlvr 1]

Could he try to get another job near you guys.

That's the first thing I said too. He claims he's tried, but I know otherwise. This just seems like a huge money making opportunity to him and he can not be talked out of it. He had the nerve to tell me that I'M being selfish He said that finally something good was happening for him and I have to try and shoot it down.

Oh Rhonda, I'm really sorry that this is happening and making you so miserable while you're pregnant. Please try not to stress too much, although that sounds ludicrous. Let him know that the stress is not good for the baby. I don't know of any other advice, except what Jonesie said. Maybe the two of you need to find a compromise.

US Embassy warns against fraudulent visa appointments

published: Thursday | June 14, 2007

The United States Embassy in St. Andrew says it is investigating the attempted manipulation of its online non-immigrant visa appointment system.

In a statement yesterday, the embassy said it was also warning the Jamaican public to avoid dealing with persons offering to procure early visa appointments.

"All applicants for U.S. visitor visas are required to give their full name, passport number and Paymaster receipt number to reserve a visa appointment," the embassy said. "A growing number of appointments made on the embassy's online system contain fictitious information and have been made simply to hold a place in our interview schedule."

Fictitious appointments

The embassy added: "These fictitious appointments cause problems for everyone, especially by adding to the waiting time for legitimate travellers from Jamaica to secure a timely appointment."

The embassy said persons found to be tampering with the appointment database and/or filing fraudulent appointments will be reported to the Jamaican authorities for possible criminal prosecution.

Also, according to the statement, persons entering the U.S. Embassy with falsified appointment letters will be denied visas and may be subject to permanent visa ineligibility.

All applicants or honest, reliable persons acting on their behalf should schedule visa appointments online at: https://evisaforms.state.gov/default. asp?postcode=KNG&appcode=3

This is an electronic calendar that will show available dates and times.

Applicants should avoid people or businesses that claim to be able to schedule expedited appointments. There is no charge for scheduling visa interview appointments (including emergency appointments) on the embassy's electronic calendar.

If you believe that a travel agent or individual is providing questionable services, please inform the embassy at kingstonvisas@state.gov so that we can act to prevent other applicants from being charged high fees for fraudulent services.

The embassy is also urging applicants who change their appointments to remember to delete their previous dates to allow the other slots to be made available for other applicants.

Any individual who reserves more than one date at the same time invites having one or both of the appointments deleted.

Is it necessary to set an appointment date here, https://evisaforms.state.gov? The DS-230 part 1 was sent in to the embassy. I thought after they received the DS-230 an appointment would be set up? Do I need to fill out the DS-156 now and get an appointment or wait and get an appointment when I call the embassy?

Hubby told me last night about the visa fraud going on down there, it was announced over the radio. he told me it cost $180K JA to get a visa, because everyone from security to the interviewing officer has to get their cut.

Hopefully, this will speed up the process for people who are waiting patiently to get legitimate appointments.

No that is for vistor's visas. The embassy will set a date for your for you and will mail the letter to you

Congrats to Mike on the new job!

Rhonda: Hang in there, we are all here for you!

Evidently Kingston received Marlon's DS-230 but they are waiting for the package from the NVC. Should have that interview date soon, I hope!

This explains why they are giving out appointments that are like 45 days away.
