Congrats Kimmy!!!! Whooo. I hope you receive that 10 year green card. When he gets here you will wait a month to receive the green card. Once you get the green card take that and his passport to the nearest social Security agent and apply for a soc card. You will get that with in 5 to 10 working days. Then he can apply for jobs, get his state id, and his drivers licenses. If you get the 10 year card then you wont have to apply to lift conditions 90 days before it expires. When is your hubby going to come up? Did you guys plan a date? You must be dancing and singing now. All the best Kimmy with the new journey that starts with your lives together :)!!

I may have missed this, but are there only certain cases where a 10 year green card is received? Do they only give this one out for certain reasons? This is the first time hearing about getting a 10 year card.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about other visas but I know w/the CR/IR visa if the interview is being held AFTER your two yr anniversary then the beneficiary will get the 10 yr visa.

Is it cheaper to buy a ticket to the US from the montego bay airport? Or online? Or from the US?

Any advice.

Girl I say check anywhere anyone that is cheap..I stalk the internet sites as well as call a 100 times..never know from day to day

I want him to fly into JFK for the work authorization stamp. Air Jamaica and American Airlines have direct flight to JFK.

Usually you won't find deals on one way fares, unfortunately. I get email alerts from both Air JA and AA on deals, and so far I haven't seen any specials. If I get anything, I will let you know.

Air JA has deals traveling from JFK, not sure about traveling from JA. Try checking there website and calling.

Howdy!

So Marlon sent me money to FedEx the DS-156 and DS-157 forms, he will receive them tomorrow. It cost $43.98. I also included the interview questions that Empress provided (thanks!) as well as a letter to the consular officer conducting the interview regarding why I cannot be present. I also included the email from the embassy stating the original date of August 7. So hopefully all will go well!

12 more days!!!!! :wacko:

Have you heard that you can no longer pay your bills directly to the companies that are billing you. Now you have to go to the Paymaster outlet and pay a fee to pay your bill, there are no other options :(

Why is that? Convenience? <<Do they have to pay a "service fee" to Paymaster like you would a Currency Exchange here in the States?>> I would be pissed if I had to do that.....

That's what they say, when my husband told me about it, I was infuriated. Then there is no one that is standing up for the rights of the people to say that it's too much to ask from a country where the majority is struggling to make it day to day. If anyone should be charged a convenience fee, it should be the companies that have done away with the personnel that would accept your payments. But, the rich get richer and the poor continue to suffer.

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
