NVC Kingston Jamaica embassy processing

[JA Tam 7]

Tam, will you be going to the interview with your husband? I keep saying I am going to go with my husband, but I dont know how soon he will get his Visa after the interview, so I was planning on going to get him and take him back home with me as soon as he has the Visa in hand.

Hey Milan, I am just happy that we have finally had the first batch go through this new process so that you and Anna know what to expect in the coming months.

Yes, I plan to go to the interview; I already sent in my time off request for that day . I also plan on going back to travel up with him when he is ready to move here (and I am telling him no later than October 13th; school starts Oct. 20th). The tickets from Florida are pretty reasonable, so I know it is worth spending the money because I won't be traveling as often for the next few years.

Sounds great...I wanted to go for the interview as well...My hubby really wants me to be there...I njust wonder if the EMBASSY will allow me to actually be there during the interview... I dont know what I will do yet...I just know that I will be there to bring him back when time comes....Fares from NJ are not always that cheap...But I usally get lucky, so I will ahve to see what happens.

Oh yeah, they'll allow you to be there. It's not mandatory for us to go, but they'll let you in since your name is on the letter as the applicant. Air Jamaica usually has specials, so if I get any information, I will pass it on. They are running a special now, but you have to pay for the ticket by Aug 23rd. I'll keep you posted if I see anything for NY/NJ.

Milan I know what you mean about the tickets Milan. I bought my daughter ticket last month for $413 AND she is a minor. She's coming back on the 26th and I miss her so much!!! I'm saving all my vacation time to go down for 2 wks, hopefully for the interview and to travel back w/him. Hopefully w/NVC making the appointments the visa won't take that long to get processed. It didn't in the past but lately it just seems like JA is having some major issues.

Milan, don't worry. There was one point in time I was close to tears when I couldn't get through to Aaron, but thankfully he and my dad are okay. Right now I will say I am close to tears as we haven't heard from my grandparents who are on the NW end of the island, an hour outside of Montego Bay. I am sure they are ok, but the worry about them is pretty great. I spoke to them yesterday before the storm, but they are not answering their phone this morning.

If my dad doesn't hear from them by 2pm, he plans on driving down to make sure they're okay. Please keep them in your prayers. I am happy to know your hubby and family are doing well.

Tam...Maybe the Signal is just bad due to the storm. I am sure they are doing well...Maybe their phone battery died and they couldnt call...I will keep them in my prayers...Just think positive thoughts...Your Dad driving out would maybe be a good idea just to give youall piece of mind....Hang in there with me Tam....

Yeah, my hubby is thinking that they're phone line may be down. I am going to see if Daddy has any contact number for people who live close to them to see if they can see if they are okay. He'll probably go down there with my uncle.

Well the worst has passed and we are a resilient people, so I am sure we're going to hear that Jamica it's okay. I have heard a few roads are impassable, with downed trees and poles. I am sure that much of it will be cleared by later this week and things will go on. I am going send things down with the relief efforts that have been set up in Fort Lauderdale to send needed items home.

My dear, I hope you hear from your grandma soon. Where in the island is she?

So far all the reports that I have heard, no deaths have been reported, so Thank God for that.

Empress I am glad all is well with your family....I know things must be fine with your Grand-ma ...Phone lines are probably down in certain areas, so that may be the only delay with her calling.

Just hang in there...

I can't get ahold of Marlon or his sister! His phone goes straight to voice mail and hers tells me she can't be reached at this time. I guess I will go with the old adage of no news is good news?

Power is out all over, Sarah. Maybe he turned it off to conserve battery.
