I KNOW that I'm starting something again....but ....we BUST our butts to get them here, *THINK* that we (women) are going to be "respected" and treated as they treated us in the 2 yrs or however long that they did while we were "courting" and then WHAM ! step foot into this country and where does the respect go ?

.....they are like "kids in the candy store" and that's the truth.....

:yes: So true :yes:

Disclaimer: Of course by "they" I mean only the men that I know personally and have heard about personally via friends, relatives or media outlets. In no way do I imply ALL men of a certain ethnic origin, religious background or any other "group".

:whistle::lol::lol: Couldn't resist ;)

S00000000000000000000000 S0000000000000000 TRUE...... BUT...... the women that they come in contact with?????

S-T-U-P-I-D and to think that a Jamaican man (sorry to throw the "jamaican part out there, but whilst this is a jamaican thread) over here, no job....riding the bus or at the mall in the middle of the day is NOT "taken"!!!! Kids in the candy store shoot Mindy...TOTAL understatement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These women just do NOT care if "I" am with my man, holding hands...Craigs eyes get him into ALOT of trouble !!! I'm like you just say thank you and move on.......no "chit chatting" after that !!!! I've been TOTALLY disrespected by women that act like I'm NOT even standing there and I'm NOT one to be jealous but dag......they could CARE LESS that you're WITH your man !!!!!! Imagine what they do when you're NOT with them !!!!!

My man is NOT the only one with a "wondering Jamaican eye" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 Months???? Just out of curiosity, how was it almost a problem? Was he able to do something to clear it up?

Well, to be honest and only a few knew the real truth about this, but heck....why not tell everyone now....to try to help others....Craig WAS going to denied. I'll really never ever know the *exact* truth because of the many maaaaany lies I've been told by him. When I went down for my interview "I" personally just KNEW that he was going to be denied because I just knew he could never stop. He "stopped" about 2 weeks prior. When we went for the interview his medical wasn't at the Embassy yet.....so before we left Kingston we went over to the medical place to find out what was going on. Craig "said" he spoke to the Lab supervisor...she said his file had already gone to the Embassy....Embassy said they didn't have it....so she asked for his number and said she'll research and call him as soon as possible. We were hanging out at Sandals Whitehouse getting TOTALLY drunk and he received a phone call from her telling her that his test came back positive and for a "price" she could "make it go away"!!!! I was SOOOO PISSED OFF it was not even funny. "I" was NOT going to pay....so Craig had to come up with $330 US dollars. I ended up giving him $100 but after I got back to the states and had to reeeeally think 'bout it. STUPID ME !!!!!!!!!

Oh Wow but in Jamaica this doesn't surprise me at all. It just like how you get your drivers licenses there wetting the palm of the examiner.

This is what my professor told me for years. That a lot were like this looking for a ride to opportunity in the US. When she gave me her blessing I couldn't believe she drilled Dwain over and over again why he loved me. I think she has been a lot harder than the VISA interview coming up. He convinced her finally after 8 years she believed him. I respect her view she has been teaching in Jamaica for almost 30 years. This is my statement and my 2 cents on my life experiences.

Disclaimer: Of course by "they" I mean only the men that I know personally and have heard about personally via friends, relatives or media outlets. In no way do I imply ALL men of a certain ethnic origin, religious background or any other "group".

I Love this :yes::whistle:

Well my husband had his medical and it lasted 2 hours. He says he has to go back for the follow up shot on May 22nd. What is this follow up shot for? He said he could do it in JA or USA. I didn't ask him what shot it was but now I am curious.

Oh wow. On one hand, I can understand your anger over it. On the other, I could see how you or me or any one of us would be relieved that he had not been denied.

....Lola goes EVERYWHERE Roy goes.....get this -- he ACTUALLY took the covers away from me in bed last night to make room for her under the comforter.....:whistle::bonk:

It's all about the MONGREL!!!!

:lol: You have the most UN-Jamaican Jamaican man EVER!!! Tony would cut off his leg before he slept in bed WITH the dog :P

I agree. My hubby isn't feeln our Dog. He pretended in the begining, but now :blink: Like I said before he would rather I get rid of the Dog. He dosen't care that the kids actually "care" for the dog and I just can't get rid of him. We are moving and the place we are moving to dose not allow pets, so my sister is going to keep the Dog for a while, so I he'll get a rest from mr grumpy.

i recieved an online alert that our cell phone bill was ready...when i looked at how much more it was i decided i better look to make sure hey didn't charge us wrong again like they did a couple months ago....when i got to mike's number i came across 3 local wilmington numbers...that were called every day for the past month...i asked him about it and he said they were friends....when i said ok lets call...he admitted they were girls he met..after toying with the idea of calling them...mt friend said i'll calll and get the scoop....i knew what the girl was going to say but just needed to hear it i guess..

she said he approched her...w/out his ring...told her he was living her w/ his aunt...and he needed a "friend"...when she asked him if he was involved he said no....so he asked he for her number and called her the next day....then after that she never heard from him...she said she got the feeling he was trying to hook up....the other 2...one was at a JA resturant the other on the bus....he said they were just someone to talk to....but the other girl....he admitted could have been something more...

i am devistated....very confused....and feel very betryed...my worst fear....came to life....

i don't want you all to feel sorry for me....today is a new day....if anything...maybe this experince will open up some of your eyes...and let you know it can happen....just be prepared...

At times I think it would have been a TOTAL blessing to have him denied to have gone through all that I've gone through ...and still some BS to this date.

We still have NOT filed for our AOS because of **stuff** !!!

:crying::cry: YOU are not STUPID. You are like me and many other women. Looking for love in all the wrong places. We come into these situations with unrealistic expectations. If I do all this then he is sure to know that I love him and will love me unconditionally the same way. Well, No !!!!I'm learning it dosen't work that way. Unconditional love can only come from one place, the man up above!!!! :)

I have no intentions of it as of right now. At this point, I don't think things will get any better....well one minute they're great and the wind blows east and they are back to worse again. You would ***think*** that if he WANTED to be here in the good ole opportunity USofA he'd be a complete a** kisser !!!!

He knows that he could be sent back at ANY time, but I've also done a TON of research and there's really no "deadline" for filing AOS as a K1. He can't legally work, but seems to get work anyway.

I KNOW that I'm starting something again....but ....we BUST our butts to get them here, *THINK* that we (women) are going to be "respected" and treated as they treated us in the 2 yrs or however long that they did while we were "courting" and then WHAM ! step foot into this country and where does the respect go ?

.....they are like "kids in the candy store" and that's the truth.....

It is the truth, and I don't mean Jamcaians. I mean men in genreal. Men will look at what is pleasing to the eye. They need to learn where to draw the line :blush:
