I tried to change my name with my marriage cert and DMV told me they couldn't cause it was out of the country but the passport office took it...so at one point my passport and drivers license were in dif names

I forgot to mention/ask advice about this.

The Miami POE kept the whole packet that Marlon presented to them. Any chance that we may get it back? It's not a big deal as Marlon has an extra copy of his BC. I know that we have to submit the certified copy of our marriage license for AOS and I only paid for one, it was $18.50. The lady at the court advised me to use it first to change my name and for my SS card and passport name change before we send it for AOS. Does that sound about right?

Also Kelly (Luvtrav) Marlon will be emailing you if he hasn't done so already in order for his dad and step mom to book some tickets through you for Jamaica.

I told you they were going to keep it. That's the main reason I advise everyone to have their SO get an extra BC before they leave jamaica.

It sounds right, Sarah. I needed my certified marriage certificate to change my name on everything: SSN, DL, Passport, credit cards, the bank....and for a few misc. things like health insurance, car insurance,and life insurance, etc..........I would really advise you get at least one more copy so you have less to worry about. With the passport, I had to mail it off and HOPE it came back safe and sound. It did, btw!!!!!

Our marriage license was $25.00. You will need (AFTER you get married) a copy of your marriage certificate to send with your AOS packet. Then if you get an interview, you may need the original if they chose to keep it. Craig only has 1 flippin extra of his original birth certificate, but we haven't had to use it for any reason...so far. I only needed his passport to get the marriage license and he didn't have to be present with me. Unless they will keep it if and when we get an interview?? Craig has his xray....but that didn't mean squat when he went to get his medical done because there wasn't documentation from the doctor saying anything about the xray --even though there was a stamp on the envelope from Andrews Medical and he had the doctors form filled out. Again that didn't matter when it came time to do the medical....here in our area. I haven't change my name for other reasons....so I can't help you out with that question.

Make sure you look at his medical information and check when the expiration date is that it's good for!!!

Wow....that shows how every place is different. Andre needed his bc for the DMV, SSN, and marriage license. And, we need one when I send off to renew his passport via the NY office. Thank God I now have enough to paper the bathroom walls with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Finesse..it's about time ... :dance::dance::dance:

VISA RECEIVED!!!!! Finally!! My baby will be here tonight!! Am I dreaming????

Are you serious? The DMV in NY told you this? That is absolutely amazing the amount of bull one uninformed lazy worker can cause. How did you finally get it changed?

First thing Andre did was buy this piece of junk stereo at a yard sale so he could rig it with all kinds of speakers and blow out our house. Beware...........................

I have a Bose surround sound system at home, and I swear I thought Tony was going to blow out my speakers :wacko: He's constantly turning it up and I'm constantly turning it back down :lol:

I love my music. WHen I'm at home I like to listen to some while I cook, clean and chill around the house.

Me too girl! I have an 80 gig Ipod that goes EVERYWHERE I go. I have a waiting plug or receiver for it at home...on my surround sound...on my stereo...in my car and at work. I have a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth adapter for it when I'm flying. I have mini speakers for it in my luggage for use in the hotel room. I haven't loaded half of my CDS on it yet...I only have about 2500 songs on it so far.

My car is always booming...and have to keep regular maintenance on it because I wouldn't hear if something sounded wrong on the car...LOL LOL

Yup, I had to use my passport and bank card, stuff that added to 6 points

Good luck Sarah with trying to find someone who will braid cheap :thumbs: Maybe Marlon will be like my hubby and after 2 months of not liking 3 different hair dressers in town he shaved it all off. :whistle:

I was lucky, there is a lovely lady who lives down the street from me, she is from St. Croix. She's only charging us $10.00! :dance:
