Here's the thing -- you ask a question. You get an answer. WE are not here to knock you down. WE are here to supply you with as much information and personal experiences that you can handle. Obviously some people can't handle it. Yes WE do get very passionate about our views and sometimes what we type doesn't translate properly. Me personally, I know some of my posts make me sound like a raving B^%$&. That is furthest from what I am.....

I cannot change how some people feel. I just wish that the "newbies" knew ALL the women who used to frequent this forum -- who WE have not heard from in MONTHS -- SOME YEARS.....why? Their relationships don't exist anymore. Those are the "tales" you all really need to hear. If you heard what happened to them -- maybe you would understand WHY we try to give you honest answers -- whether you are prepared to hear them or not.

Yes, this is a Jamaican forum so we are talking about Jamaican men (for the most part, men). Sorry if you feel we "Jamaican Bash" but what good would it do anybody if we came on here and talked about all our shi^^% experiences with American men?!?!?

Everyone has their own experiences. I hope this forum can continue to host these types of conversations. If we can help just one person -- that will be one less person who is "in the wind."

:yes::yes::yes: My sentiments exactly!!! I have been a member on VJ for years now and I've been a part of the Yardie thread ever since it first existed. We've always been able to chat about anything and everything - that's what's so great about this thread. If you don't like it or don't feel it's helping you DON'T READ IT :no: Why do you think it's Sooooooo difficult for Jamaicans to get a Visa in the first place? They are a country of high visa fraud - that's just a fact. So obviously NOT everyone is here for noble purposes. But no one ever said that ALL Jamaicans are just out to screw you over and get their green card. We're just relating OUR personal experiences.

Texas....is he coming today??? or on the 8th??

He is going to Jfk for the stamp & will hang with his cousins for a couple of days since he hasnt seen them since forever. He will be on Texas Ground Easter Sunday. You cannot imagine how Happy I am. This ordeal was unbelievable.

I called & called & called & a lady felt my pain & told me to have him come in yesterday. You know they are shut down Fri & Mon which again will cause major delays. God has blessed us again.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

Thank you. Part of the delay is with the National Visa Center completing the fingerprint checks. I think, but it could also be the delay in Kingston submitting the request.....Hmmmm that sounds more like it. Good luck yall.

Now to plan a budget, find a job, plan a wedding................Migraine go a way.

I've been reading all that's been going on lately, and I just wish that everyone would look at their situations from a different perspective. It seems as though some people are having great experiences, while others are having not-so-great experiences, but the one thing that you ALL have in common is that you are ABLE to have these experiences. As someone who is unable to have these experiences (good, bad, or indifferent) with my SO I get angry AND jealous with all that is going on. I ( and probably many others ) simply want the opportunity to begin to really live together as man and wife and make a go of our lives together completely, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm unable to. In a sense, I feel like you should be thankful, because you got what you wanted. And though it may not be what you thought, at least you have the opportunity to make the decision of whether or not you will continue to try. Not everyone has that. Your lives are in your own hands. Ours are not. Everyone should be grateful that they have the power to control their own destiny at this point--good or bad. I have enjoyed many conversations with everyone up here, and I truly appreciate everything that EVERYONE has to say. Please, let's just remember that we are all adults, and hopefully we will be able to agree and disagree without tearing one another down. Love you guys!! (L)

Jeez!

I sign off and go to bed and wake to find that not only has the thread been moved but something akin to Armageddon has taken place. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

While I am happy that a few disappointed and frustrated posters have a forum where they can vent, I am also happy that we have some mature, analytical and level-headed members to help keep things in perspective and steer us on a more productive (and peaceful) path.

Keep up the good work guys!

Nuff respeck.

I agree. May I add, while many speak of their personal experiences lets not place judgement on others. I laughed last night as I remembered a poem I wrote when I first went to Jamaica, then I thought about the Embassy & the rocky road. I still love Jamaica...I still love their people, the culture. I will not let only few change my mind about all, a country.

Again, lets only speak specific & not express sentiments against all. I too appreciate & respect all ideas. I am always open to learning. The comments I dont care for or agree with --goes out the window. Open Minded.Peace.

Hello Everyone,

Of course I cannot sit and read this thread (and part 3) and be quiet. As you all know I am new here, and I must stress that you all have been very helpful regarding the immigration process for my husband. This whole thing about generalizations and tearing down our Jamaican men- I must say that everyone's experiences is there own experiences. (I am sure someone said this already, however it must be emphasized.) And whoever discuss their experiences about a JA should state the fact that they are talking about their JA, not everyone's JA. Everyone is different; no two people are the same, regardless of where they come from. And I am sure a lot of us were aware of the sterotypes about our men before we met them.

Also, everyone has the right to take someone's opinon and apply it to their situation. People try to tell me about their bad experience's with a JA all the time. I stop them mid-sentence , and I just get real "hood" with them and be like " nope, naw girl, you aint tellin me bout my man. i know my husband, and if you think i made a bad decision, then good for you. IF (and i must stress the I-F) things don't work out wit me and him, then at least i experienced it myself. let me deal with the heartbreak or whateva. i don't need no warning signs, no watch out signals, or whateva you talkin. i appreciate yo comments and concerns, but i am a grown a** woman, and i don't wanna hear yo negativity about yo JA man, becauze i know what im dealin with." And then I just keep on pushing.

I know there are majority women on this thread, but if there are some men on here, please speak up, we need you. So I hope everyone can try to keep the peace, because you all have been helpful. Even if I don't reply to specific comments, I do read them all and prepare myself. I am very thankful for all of you, because me and my hubby would be lost...literally. We would be so frustrated right now, we probably wouldn't think about bringing him here. But reading everyone's timelines/experiences has helped me realize that me and my husband can do this... we will survive this excruciating process.

(reading this thread + early pregnancy emotions = :crying: (excuse me, i must get some tissue now).

Now to the topic at hand.

I for one don't care if a woman says 'My Jamaican husband is a dog'.

However, I take EXTREME issue with her saying 'Any Jamaican man you bring up is going to be a dog'

Because that is no longer PERSONAL experience, but a BLANKET statement!!

So while I will bite my lip when I hear some generalizations being made in what I believe is ignorance, I will not sit idly by and watch my Jamaican kings being lumped together because of someone's bad experiences.....

Of course I expect women to tell both the good and the bad, hopefully sharing will help someone else in a similar situation. I think it is of paramount importance that the 'seedy' side is shown, the horror stories.

But what needs to be remembered is that the bad in your relationship is not a trend, not a given, but a PERSONAL experience.

I derieve no pleasure from 'jumping' on people or proving they are stereotypical. All I demand is that you treat every situation as a personal experience, not a blueprint on 'What Happens When You Marry A Jamaican'....

Many of the women here are living with their families buying into the stereotype of a 'black Jamaican man' and are vocal in their outrage. Yet many here are creating their very own pet stereotype while critizing the actions of others....

I will always try to support, to educate, to help, to provide any insight I can to help people here.

But I will not sit and watch ANYONE tear Jamaicans to shreds.

Did "I" miss something that someone said???? I went back and looked and looked, but I didn't see ANYONE say that their Jamaican husband is a dog ??!!!!! If you're referring to what "I" have said in recent posts, I have never said that MY husband is a dog.....stupid sometimes (what man isn't......sorry for any of the men reading).....but I absolutely LOVE Jamaica (that's why I continue to go back, it's my home away from home), the people, ALLLLLL of my friends (male and female) and that includes my husband. Yes I have NO IDEA why he choses to do STUPID stuff withOUT thinking about the consequences....as you will SOON find out when you have a child and raise that child to be the BEST they will be and he or she turns around and makes BAD CHOICES!!!!

ALOT of the things that Craig does IS because of the way he was brought up and witnessed and lived with the situations and experiences "around" him....with the way to treat women, act a certain way etc etc. I have never ONCE said that ALL Jamaican men (or women) are like this and it's been stated over and over and over again (we can't say it enough) that what I've posted has been MY personal EXPERIENCES !!!!!! You do NOT truuuuuuly know someone until you have lived under the same roof......fact!!!

Question for you......Are you marrying an American man???? If so, dag I'm QUITE SURE we could bash the h*** out of OUR american men and NOT ONE AMERICAN WOMAN ON HERE WILL FEEL OFFENDED IN ANY WAY !!!!!!!

Did someone actually say that? I'm sorry but I must have missed that. I don't agree with making a blanket statement like that either.....BUT.....sometimes, when all you hear is the bad, and the bad is happening to you it does get hard to not make "generalizations."

:thumbs:YO YO!!! READ MY SIGNATURE!!!!!

(reading this thread + early pregnancy emotions = :crying: (excuse me, i must get some tissue now).

Being in the travel industry for the past 16 1/2 yrs...when a client wants to go to a "warm/caribbean" destination, my very FIRST suggestion is ....how about Jamaica? If I had a penny for EVERYone that has said to me....Oh no, not Jamaica, it's dangerous, dirty, the men rob you like crazy, etc etc etc ........"I" would be RICH !!!!! Since I have soooooooooooooooo much personal experience and I am also a "Jamaican specialist" (in my industry), I educate them as much as possible and to this day, I've never had ANYone of my clients come back to me with a bad experience. We AMERICANS do that to Jamaica in GENERAL and it's VERY unfortunate !!!!!

Since I have soooooooooooooooo much personal experience and I am also a "Jamaican specialist" (in my industry), I educate them as much as possible and to this day, I've never had ANYone of my clients come back to me with a bad experience. We AMERICANS do that to Jamaica in GENERAL and it's VERY unfortunate !!!!!

Oh my gosh. & to think that soon I wont be just a visitor or vacationer, I will be FAMILY!!!! IM SO EXCITED.
