I remember sometime ago someone mention a VOIP w/unlimited calls from to and from JA. I already looked into Vonage but I could have swore it was Cable & Wireless. Well I've been trying to search and came up w/nothing. Basically I'm looking for a service to get that plus a JA # if possible ASAP!!! Any suggestions???

It's called Netspeak (www.netspeak.com) and it's through C&W...My dad has it in Jamaica and he has a local florida number. I know that they have a local office here in Florida: http://www.netspeakflorida.com/

I was looking into that but Javon doesn't have internet service at home. He's looking into how much the internet cost down there but I personally don't think it's worth it.

I'll get more information about it from my dad, but I remember him telling me that you can bring the unit to the US and use it here. When I get more info, I will let you know. There was another service that I found, but they are out of Canada, but they would ship it to you. They had an ad banner on Jamaica Gleaner - it's called Foreign Phone (http://www.foreignphone.com/faq.aspx).

In regards to phone service/netspeak, I heard about a service called mega phone (i believe it's a cell phone) and you pay a flat fee (1,200 ja?) and you can make unlimited calls to the us

I heard about megaphone as well and asked Aaron about it. One thing that I heard about it is that it is hard to get as it is so popular. I would love for him to get it, but he is so stubborn . We will probably get the Netspeak so he can call his parents.

oh my jengles, that CO tried really hard to deny him. and i'm amazed that you pushed a baby out in 7 minutes. wow!

can someone who recently went through the medical please explain what all was done?

Hope this helps

They take blood, asked all the questions on the medical history form, ask about immunization records, if he has had chicken pox make sure he tells them. they did xrays, oral exam, check the eye ..not much at all..he got there for 7:30 and he left by 11:30..and u know most of that was waiting

Of note....I forgot Andre saw a lady doctor. He was not happy when she made him stand completely naked in front of her for some of the exam.

this happened to mr. jengles. i was cracking up when he told me, he said she pushed back his foreskin

[Jengles 0]

The baby was 7lbs 10 ozs and 19 1/2 inches long and came out from 7 minutes of pushing, (the doctor threatned to cut me) that was great incentive to push. baby girl is very quiet not at all like her brother.

This gives me hope!! How long were you in labor? I'm terrified of the whole labor/delivery part of it.

I was in labor from Sunday, but didn't know it, all I knew was that she kept moving and every time she moved i was in pain, one of my friends told me i was in labor but I'm like yeah right, anyway I went to the hospital at 6am. and she was born at 1:52pm

That was quick..with my daughter i was in labor from wednesday night and i just kept feeling this uncomfortable pain and i blew it off. Spoke to my husband that night and went to bed..girl let me tell you that bed did not see me...couldn't sit, sleep, forget walk...called my doc..she said head to the hospital, mind u i wasn't even 35 wks yet...they put me on meds to stop the labor, yeah righ tshe was ready and thats that. they gave up and i had her Friday at 11:32 am....

I thought that at 35 weeks, they would just let nature take its course.

That sounds like me, LOL I was up sunday night all night and then in the hospital monday morning, I'm like give me an epidural so I can sleep because you (meaning the doctors are going to want me to push later)

when i got to the hospital they said i was 5 centimeters and apparently my contractions weren't coming quick enough for them so they gave me some drug that starts with a P to make my contractions come quicker, I'll stop at this point with respect to all the first time mothers.

don't worry Rhonda - there is nothing to worry about

you were there at the interview?

but he was prepared lol, see my post last week about wanting to strangle him or something to that effect lol. I got scared because I didn't feel he knew everything, I had to STRESS a few points to him and then he started seeing things my way

I couldn't agree with you more Jomo. I read the comments made by about 3 women after she posted that and they were like Man I'm thinking about getting a divorce. My thought is: If you are contemplating getting a divorce based on what someone posted then you are the one who has missed it. You have to ask yourself whether or not you are really in love. LOVE is never UNSURE. For someone to seriously consider getting a divorce based on a thread, maybe there was never really LOVE at home. Marriage to me and my fiance is something that is really sacred and its going to take more than a thread to make us divorce. I believe thats why the divorce rates are so high. People's first instinct when they're married and things are going well is to DIVORCE. But marriage is about sacrafices and compromises. If you are not willing to subject yourself to that then you may want to rethink your position before you get into it. (Generally speaking, No one in particular).

If a person really believes deep down in their heart that their significant other is just using them for a green card and the love is not really there, then it may be a situation that is just not for the best. And its okay to admit that. I think we get wrapped up into the fairy tale thinking and miss the reality of it all. I personally believe that you have to see some benefits and rewards out of decision to make it most worth while and fulfilling.

So now my parents what to come visit me...after living in my house for 1.5 years....THE SAME WEEK AS THE INTERVIEW......AWHHHHH. So now I have to break it down to my mom. My fiance and I said that we didn't want to get anyones hopes up so we are keeping the process a secret as much as possible. His family and my family knows that we are filing...but don't know the particulars. It's stressful enough for us and to have them asking about each step.... Would drive us crazy. So I'll have the conversation with my mom tonight.

Question....why can't they just give the visa at the appointment? What is the purpose of sending it via courier? Any words?

Oh, honey.......do you not know the way things work in Jamaica by now? Soon come!!!!

That's so funny

Everything is me soon come.....lol.

Wow we are filing and trying to keep a secret as well. The only difference is NO ONE knows. I guess he is just going to show one day

I told my mom that he is filing for a visiting visa and he has a hook up down there. I think I am going tell her eventually but we didn't want the stereotypes placed on us and the big hoopla until we were able to do how we want it. In Jamaica! So we are going to do something small and then later go ahead and do our real wedding down there. I have a lot of family there and all of his family is there as well. Lets hope things work out.

Well when I first filed I had to tell my mom because she didn't understand why he couldn't just come here as easy as I could go to JA. A lot of my friend has said the same thing. A lot of people just don't know how HARD it is to come to the US. They believe people come and go just as easy as we do. I did however tell my mom that his interview date is August 14...I forgot to mention that I would be going to the interview. You know I know that my mom would be 100% supportive..I just don't want the stress of her concerns on why the process is taking sooo long. I've been with my fiance for 5 1/2 years and been engaged forever. So I know she would want us to finally be together....especially to start giving her more grandchildren.

Yeah..I was 3 days away from 35 weeks so they wanted me to go as long as I could....my daughter had another plan of course

Yeah Rhonda all will be fine..I felt the same way until nature said it was time which I wasn't expecting so...don't worry too much

i'm kind of in the same situation, i didn't want to tell my parents/family because i know the overall sentiment would be i'm making a mistake or being used, but i couldn't hide that he was living with me so they think he's here visiting and i've told them we plan to get married next year in ja (which we do) but of course we're already married.

I agree, that love is a gamble...to ever experience love you just have to play. I thought it was nice that there was no bashing, that everyone tried to, or it seemed that they were putting them selves in her shoes. I don't think they are really considering a divorce based on the posters post. Only realizing that the situation could possibly happen to them. The lady who posted that her husband would have a rude awaking at the airport...I couldn't stop laughing it thought it was so funny

I don't think anything about love is for sure, nothing about life is for sure for that matter, This process is full of uncertainty. This woman "loved" this man..but it didn't stop her from getting her heart broken. I'm greatfull that it sound like maybe she'll be abe to pick up her life and go on. Hopefully she will realize that love that is "certain" can only come from the man above

Wow thats are plan exactly! Eventually, we will have our big wedding but we just want to get the logistics out of the way first.
