Calm down, I was just commenting on the contradictory statements.

Wasn't addressing it to you or regarding your post. Just putting it out there as there seems to be a lot of people unhappy and leaving the board.

Okay.

Hello, ricardoswife.

[Shemmy 4]

I know I know....I love you all too. i haven't forgotten about you..it's just been a year of changes....big changes. Don't worry Ricardo and I are doing great!!!!! We will be married 4 years in August( man time flies by)We will be moving into our first house on May 1st! The boys are 2 and my little Makayla is 7 months now. I will put a picture when I get the chance. I went back to work FULL TIME in February. So I am crazy busy!!! Having 2, two year odls and a 7 month old is a trip!!! I also work about 1 1/2 away from home and anyone that know L. A. traffic know that's nothing nice. I loved being home but I really needed more of a balance. God really blessed me with a job that I love. I am the executive administrator to education for Junior Achievement of Southern California. It's awesome and I know this is were God wants me. I can even appreciate my kids more because I am not around them 24hrs a day! It's also cool because since we have been use to living off 1 income, now that I am working it's like we won the Lottery!!!! Now that I have adjusted more to the work load i will be able to chat a more.

..I've been reading the past couple of days and things have been interesting I see....for good and bad. Not that I'm an expert but I do feel like a a veteran of some sort ( is anyone over 4 years married yet?)...if nothing else I know I've got the most kids by my Jamaican love!!!! If anyone has any questions( I'm being serious now) I will be happy to share our story and my experiences. I will say this, God may not save you from the fire but he will preserve you while in it! And when you come out...You Won't Even Smell Like Smoke! I'm a living witness. Holla!!!!!

Good to see another vet

Did he ever come back on with an update?

Ok VJ'ers I have an interesting topic....or maybe its just interesting to me.

Anyway, I've noticed that many people file for the K1 fiance visa, meaning that they are not married before their SO comes to the US. I know that the rend was that K1's were faster, but they seem like such a hassle for so long. I mean, you have all this additional paperwork to file once you get to the US, plus you have to rush and marry, adjust status, etc....It just seems like a long time to have Immigration on your back. Thats just my personal opinion, but really has nothing to do with the 'interesting topic' I want to start.

I wanted to know if those VJ'ers that applied for a K1, had some sort of 'wedding' or 'ring' ceremony in Jamaica before their SO came here. If you did, what did you do to celebrate your union in front of the Jamaican family while there.

For those that married in Jamaica first and the SO came here as a spouse, what sort of celebration did you have with the American family. Did you 'marry' twice?

I am getting married in the hometown of my SO, actually i'm getting married in Sav la Mar, but I want to have some sort of ceremony when he gets to the States, so I am looking for examples of what others have done.
