Minfay,

that's exactly what I am fearing. Him going wait til the last minute and then them going tell him they don't have appointments available in time. Yesterday was the last time I talking to him about it. And I goin tell him not to call me unless is to pick up the money from western union to buy my ticket. I cant manage all a dis stress. :no:

him can lally gag and soon come all he wants...afta a nuh my visa

I called and made an appointment for Donna from the States. Donna works a lot of hours and can't hold on the phone waiting. She lives in Kingston with two places to go for the visa medical. So, I called both places and made two appointments about a week apart. That way if she missed the first one there was another already scheduled.

Jay,

How long did it take for Donna to get the No Impediment to Marriage form?

That was a smart move, Jay.

She received it in the mail the following week. I believe a lot of prayer helps. Something arriving through the mail in Jamaica in a week is a miracle. She also went to Spanish Town for this form. I hope to meet Marlon in a few days.

:yes: Hey Everyone!

I know its been a while, and some of you probably don't know who I am, but I just wanted to stop in and say hello. I hope everyone is doing well, and things are going smoothly with this crazy process. Just a little update....my case was expedited by the NVC and sent to the embassy in Kingston...yay! I am kind of confused though because I just sent off the AOS bill/ DS 3032 two weeks ago , I have not received anything regarding payment of the IV bill nor sending in the I-864. They already sent the DS 230 part 1 packet to my hubby, so maybe I will pay those fees through the embassy?? I dunno. I am just going with the flow. Crazy because I was going to use James Shortcuts, but maybe I won't need to. Not sure if hubby will be home in time before the baby is born, I am about 29 weeks ( 7 months?) now. But maybe God will work a miracle, as he has already done for us. A lady from the embassy told my husband that she would try to schedule him for the next interview appointment that they have available...whatever that means. I guess I was under the impression that if the NVC expedited our case, the embassy would function in the same manner, i.e. emergency visa appointment. But anyway, I just wanted to give you ladies an update and let you know that things are going ok for me. I will check for you guys later.

Two more days and I'll be in the air flying to Kingston. I am retyping the DS-156 after finding a typo. What is the correct entry for the "State/Province" box? The sample shows the City in this box. I repeated the city in this box and now wonder if maybe I should put "None" or just leave it blank? I’m a perfectionist so all these form seem to be taking me forever to finish.

That box would be the state that you live in - Michigan, Georgia, etc... For Jamaica, I believe it would be the Parish - St. Ann, St. Mary, etc..

I'm still stressed out :wacko: Still haven't found a house yet! The first 2 that I made offers on wouldn't lower their price enough to meet my budget. The 3rd one got sold right after they rejected MY offer :( They didn't even counter-offer. We're looking at more tonight.

Tony leaves for Jamaica on Monday and I leave next Saturday. I haven't even begun packing or getting ready yet and I have an out-of-town wedding this weekend that's going to take up all my time. I'm going crazy :wacko::crying::bonk:

Maybe I'll just stay in Jamaica and live in a little hut on the beach :lol: It would be cheaper!!

Ack, haven't been sleeping well, perhaps it has something to do with an unnamed Jamaican male? lol I will be calling him this morning to once again and perhaps for all plead my case. Sometimes I just don't know! Hope everyone else is having a better day!

Jay, I too hope you can meet Marlon if I can get anything through to his thick head! :blink:

Rhonda, hang in there, it WILL all work out, have faith!

Michele, wish I could answer your food question!

Good morning!

For those of you from or familiar with Philly-where's the best Jamaican and Puerto Rican restaurants...and of course Cheese Steaks?

Michele

The best cheese steaks for people coming from out of town is down South Philly. Pat's or Geno's steaks (9th and Passyunk). Tourist for some reason love these steak stores. I personally think that the best cheese steaks are from the neighbourhood pizza stores.

Jamaican restaurants - Tropical Restaurant 52nd and Haverford (West Philly), Jamaican Jerk Hut 15th and South street.

I can't help you on the Puerto Rican restaurants, Sorry. Hope this information helps! When are you coming? I know my cousin Freddie is coming down to philly this weekend from CT.
