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

[^KK^ 3]

Man I feel like a tard! Marlon texted me yesterday to let me know that he got the package from me with all the forms. He also told me to call him ASAP as there were errors! He was really cool about it (one of the many reasons I love him)! On the DS-156 I signed under applicant! And I failed to submit the DS-157!!!! OMG! And he was like send them to me overnight and I was like baby, I have no money! So he is WUing me some money so I can send these forms to him. AND... he applied for his non-impediment form on JUNE 18 and has NOT received it yet!!!! #######?!?! So he asked me to bombard them with emails as he NEEDS that form. *sigh* Ok, that's it for now, thanks for allowing me to vent!

Don't worry ...everything will get sorted out. I went over the forms with my fiance last night...and found out that I combined one job..that should've been two jobs.. Whatever....

Good Morning...

Congrats on the approval yesterday

Hope everyone is doing good...

We got some bad news out of JA yesterday and I am just asking for some prayers. Andre's family lives in the Bushy Park Scheme in May Pen. It is a pretty tight community and everyone knows everyone. Anyways Andre's barber is right down the road from his families house and he has been good friends with his barber Oliver since Highschool. Well yesterday Oliver was trimming an off duty cop (can't remember his name now) that Andre also grew up with and would play ball with every night back in JA. Well yesterday afternoon 2 thugs came to rob Oliver's shop and held them both at gunpoint. Oliver gave them all his money and some supplies and such and as they were leaving they noticed that the guy in the chair had a gun as he was a cop and they shot him right there in the chair in the stomach and took off. Well the cop kind slouched out of the chair and started crawling towards the door and the guys who were running off noticed that he had come to the doorway so they turned back and shot him 6 more times and stole the gun. All this happened right at Oliver's feet at the steps of his barbershop. He is devasted and scared out of his mind. He is petrified that they will come back for him or his kids because he could ID them and they murdered a cop. Which we all know is pretty controversial in JA or anywhere for that matter. So Andre is super upset for his friend Oliver and also the cop as they were friends but he is even more concerned for his family as they lived only a block or two away. So if you could keep Andre, Oliver and all the families involved in your prayers that would be much appreciated. Oliver has a little child that he takes care of solely as his wife is in the US so he is under a lot of stress especially now that he is out all that money. Anyways thanks for anything you can send our way.

OMG !! I am so excited for all u guys that r coming up for interviews...r u guys all going to the interviews ? That's one thing I wanted to do....

Kimmy

I'm not but I wish I could! Had it been on the 7th as the embassy originally told me then I could have but being it's the 14th, I have to be at work, it's the start of a new semester in college = busy, busy!

Sometimes we have to make hard choices in life. Might not be the one we would prefer, but the one we must. Keep your head up and continue to pray for success on this interview. Just maker sure your SO is well prepared and shows confidence when he is there.

OMG -- That is terrible. I will certainly keep them in my prayers.

I just can't understand, if you get what you want, why you have to kill.

I remember 2 separate incidents when 2 gentlemen (1 a photographer for Jamaica Observer, the other a JDF soldier) were traveling on the public transportation and gunmen came on the bus. After they robbed everyone, they looked at these guys and said that they looked like cops and killed them on the bus. All you have to do to look like police is to be well-groomed. I remember when I was in Portmore with my husband after the first incident, this guy was begging $$ and then looked at my husband and said he looked like a police officer. My heart was in my throat because I would hate to lose my husband in such a manner.

My prayers go out for the community and the families affected.

Gleaner

Observer

Here is the story in today's newspaper. It is a little different than how Oliver told us but he was pretty shook up and distraught so I don't doubt he could have been a little mixed up. But then again who knows if the paper got it right either...

So sad

Thanks Claire and KK, I know that all will work out! I will be expressing the papers tomorrow and hopefully Marlon will have them next week.

On another note, where are those interview questions that were asked at a recent interview?

Who else interviews in August?

MyDestinyAwaits on August 7th.

We'll be there also, Lord willing. Two weeks before our interview and I came across this (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1872aca797e63110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD). Georgia K-1 Petitions now go to Vermont. The I-129F is now $455.

No worries.......The USCIS raised the majority of their fees on July 30. If you already filed your K-1 -- which you did -- you already paid your fee and this doesn't effect you now.

The new rates will effect you when you file the AOS -- which now (I believe) you will automatically be filing for the EAD and AP at the same time and will cost a TON of $$$$$$$

....just something to look forward to

Yes I read it in the Gleaner. I'm sorry to hear that. Its such ashame because I know that there is violence everywhere but its even more harsh down there because they don't have access to jobs. I mean even after you go to school and you acquire subjects, you still can't get jobs. There is just not enough jobs to suffice for the families in need. You would think that the government would acknowledge this and come up with some well thought out /but quick solutions. As long as I can remember, the lack of jobs exhisted. Most of my family migrated here to make a better living but there are those that want to stay home and they also should have the opportunity of making legal money. Like I said its violence everywhere but I just believe that Jamaica could be such a better place if they were granted more opportunities.

My prayers goes out to that family. So sorry to hear that

Did they tell him they were going to mail it to him? Andre had to PICK up the non-impediment form. It was sitting there waiting for him. I think someone else on here said the same thing. Double check.

I just read this story in the Gleaner this morning. So sorry for everyone involved.

It is stories like this that make me take a step back and thank God Andre is no longer there. Happens everywhere, I know; but seems to be way too frequently in JA.

Yeah, I think they said they would mail it to him. I will keep hounding them via email as well as have Marlon go there and raise hell!
