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

[SweetSugahDumplin 0]

has anyone here had a beneficiary family member try to get a travel visa to attend the wedding? we want his mom and sister to come, and it's time for me to write the invitation letter. if anyone has any tips on how the kingston embassy handles this i'd appreciate it. i'm going to try to research it now.

This question has been asked several times and as I remember it was very hard to get family members to attend the USA wedding. That is why we got married in Jamaica. All the best of luck with this

Well I rented a car from Apex car rental that is about 5 mins from the airport in montego bay. We just so happened to use them because they were at the airport soliciting for customers to go with their business. They weren't necessarily so much cheaper but they were pretty easy going on cutting a deal. You may want to call them to work something out.

I'm not sure that you will find something a lot cheaper that is company owned. You may also want to considering renting from a friend for the time being. Most of them use their car for taxi runs but are willing to give a daily rate for using their car. This is pretty good because you don't have to pay a deposit down. We also did this on one of my trips to JA. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with everything!

yeah thats why i say rent from a friend, someone u know and can trust.

Thats a another option but be aware of who ur renting from. Sometimes they DO NOT have insurance on the car and if ur pulled over God forbid, ur the one driving an uninsured vehicle. It happened to a friend of mine...what u could do...is see if somehow u can befriend a taxi guy and have him come pick u up when u need to go places. This I do, we get to know each other and he starts giving u a discount. I use the same taxi guy everytime I go..have his number stored in my phone...just another option

that's the route i usually go too. i'm not confident enough to drive on my own, and i really don't want the liability of driving a car that's not mine. so one day i took a route taxi to go grocery shopping and he ended up taking me to tour rose hall great house and to his house in flankers to meet his entire family. that was almost 2 years ago. now his wife and i are great friends.

my fiance's mom feels pretty confident about applying for the travel visa. so when the time comes we'll just hope for the best.

Hey everyone, things are going a lot better for me. The job deal is not a sure thing yet. Tony told me to quit worrying They have some other options up in the air right now - I'm hoping something local works out! If not, we will come up with some type of compromise when the time comes. Thanks everyone for your support

We had a really good weekend. Tony cooked me ackee & saltfish (The ackee was $14 for a can). I've been craving it sooooo bad and the tinned ackee tasted better than I remember it being - maybe because I haven't had it in so long! Then on Sunday he cooked us some nice Jamaican beef soup - yam, carrot, cho-cho, pumpkin, ####### Soup, dumpling - Yummy!! I guess he knows how to butter me up after a fight Just feed me!!

That's sweet. A man that cooks for me can get almost anything! I'm glad that things are less tense.

Well, the OFFICIAL line is that you can have your shots ANYWHERE, as long as you have proof that the shots have been given, that's fine.

But we all know the Embassy is a law unto itself.

So that question is, has anyone been told by the EMBASSY that they HAVE to have their shots at the approved doctors?

Because it seems to me that the places that do the medical seem to be telling people that they have to get it done there, obviously they have a vested interest.

Most times it would be MUCH cheaper to have the shots done by a local doctor and bring proof to the medical.

Good question, and i will ask them today when I call, to inquire about the medical history form

I'm a mess, I'm so nervous. I get nauseous every time I think about it. I'm going to be a worse mess tomorrow at work, trying to get things done but not thinking about them. Or maybe work will help me keep my mind off it until I speak to him.

finesse, how are you holding up? Oh, I asked him, his is for 8am.

I think it just depends on the CO. Like Kimmykashi said before some w/strong ties get denied and some w/out get thru. My cousin just reached NY last week and he hasn't work for years. He was a soldier for yrs so one day he applied and recv'd it. Since then he travels back and forth from England, JA and the US and hasn't work since and it's been almost 10 yrs.

Suprisingly, I am cool. I'm trying not to think about it too much. Tonight I'll probably feel nervous. I'm glad that the interviews are early tomorrow so we should be knowing something by 11 at the latest. My SO's auntie is gonna wait for him outside with his phone so he can call me as soon as he gets out.
