Quick question,

If we get the 2yr visa, what would I have to do? The lady didn't explain anything to him yesterday

Thanks

Apply for the 10 year 90 days before that 2 year expires.

Rejoice in ANY visa at this point and don't sweat this small stuff right now.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

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

It's like Tanya Stephens' song "Warn Dem". I have a lot of friends who graduated from UTech and are still trying to get jobs. It is heartbreaking.

I hope you get the 10 yr...I have been wondering the same thing if we will get the 2 yr or 10 yr. This December will be 4 years since we've been married.

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.

Donna mentioned to me the other night not to wear orange or green when I come for the interview because of the elections this month. Sometimes people get shot for wearing the opposing party's color. Nomination Day is Aug. 7th and Election Day is on Aug. 27th. I pray these elections come and go without violence. I hope to have Donna here by that time.

Kimmy, can you let us know how long it takes for him to get his passport with the stamp included? From some timelines that I have seen, it looks like it may be taking longer than the 4-6 business days they indicate.

Thanks, T

Kimmy,

So you're done for 10 years right? Or is it 2 years green card?

U know I don't know...that's what I was trying to find out. I thought he is suppose to get a 10yr since we've been married over 2 yrs..I don't know....so if it is the 2yr..we have to file AGAIN..for something..I don't wanna :no:

If I remember correctly your husband should get the CR1 stamp in his passport, but the airport IMO will have it changed to the IR Visa (10 year).

I just found out the Embassy is closed on Election day. My sister-in-law had an interview date on that day and now it's going to be cancelled and rescheduled for Sept. She was applying for a visitor visa but she lives in Cuba. She only goes home once every six months to renew his work visa.
