Hello Everyone,

I am so new at this that my "husband" and I will be on-line tonight filling out the 129F. I will be traveling to JA next week - to stay in Negril for a week. I want to play, but I know we must take care of our business too. Kevin has so many plans and his mother wants to cook everyday. I will let them lead since I am trying to chill and go along with their flow. Just wanted to get acquainted with some good people so I do not feel like I am in this journey in the states alone. No one seems to understand...but then again....I have not told a lot of people about our relationship just yet. Advice anyone:)

Welcome Teena;

Most people who live stateside does not know about the immigration process, so don't try yo explain it. They always think that because they can travel outside the US freely, everybody else can. Come here for all your questions and support. You will find a great group of people who has been through or are going through the process and who will give you great support. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

I don't mind telling you that we have been together a month and this is my second trip to JA next week. We talk about all of the obstacles that will come our way, but we both know that if we can get through this process and stay committed that we will be fine. I have been married previously and divorced for over three years. Kevin has never been married. He has two kids. It is strange because when I met him all of my check lists (the superficial ones) went out the window. He just has a really good heart and is a nice guy. I can not explain it, but I left my heart in Jamaica when I left. It is still there and will be there until I get back. Chat soon.

Girl, no worries. Don't mind what anybody says about your relationship and how long you have been together. I fell in love with Mike before I even met him in person. :yes: We started our friendship over the phone, then I met him and it was alright. :blush: Just follow your heart. If anything is off the chart, you will know. :thumbs: Best of luck and safe journey.
