you know ladies i just have to sit back and laugh at our so called immigration centers.....i just got another update that we were approved...umm hello just got the welcome letter....and then this is the real kicker....we were approved without sending ANY kind of medical info.....just makes me shake my head....they can be so picky when it comes to someone like tonya who was off by a year....and send her a rfe....it just goes to show that every cse is different....

There is no medical required on the K-1---if you AOS within a year--- cause it's all done beforehand. And, just sometimes they require the whole CS filled out vaccinations. I honestly believe it is cause they KNOW it all had to be done before he could even be issued the K-1 and are getting a little more lenient. Although, there are still those sticklers out there.

Do u know if this is true for the k-3 as well?

I honestly do not know that.

If he's had it within the last year, I would say it is very possibly the same.

Check out the K-3 forums. Maybe search for the medical. Somebody somewhere knows all the answers on here.

Good morning all;

I mailed off the IV fee bill and it was delivered to NVC and Mike's dad sent in the I-864 and USPS showed that it was delivered but After checking the system every night I never received any message that it was received nor entered into the system.

Last night I called again and received the following message. What does that mean? We never submitted any documents except the IV bill and AOS.

NVC has reviewed your packet of forms and found info missing or incomplete. NVC mailed a letter on 11/29/2007 indicating what doc missing or incomplete. Please return the missing info to the NVC in and allow 6-8 weeks for review and you will be notified of the results?????

Hey Claire,

We will truly miss you and I hope you see this message. More than likely the RFE is the DS-230, his original birth certificate and the police certificates. They give you this impression that you missed stuff, when really they are requesting you send new documentation. Tell Mike to send those things to you as soon as possible if you haven't received it yet. I have been recommending this to everyone I talk to...have him sign a couple copies of the DS230 part 1 (it needs an original signature, not a copy). NVC misplaced the first one I sent and I had to send another complete copy to them. Have him go do the police certificate now: 3 days: J$2000; 21 days: J$1000.

Hope this helps and nuh fret, him soon come!

LOL - yes, my timeline IS complicated and LONG. It took 14 months for the self-petition to be approved...CRAZY!!! Patience? What patience? I was checking the status online everyday!

The next step will be to wait for them to set up yet another biometrics appointment and then set up the interview to adjust status. I have a really good (and free) immigration attorney. Thank god ALL of my attorneys were/are free because of the DV. Oh, I didn't add my divorce to my timeline - my divorce was final on Halloween LOL. I had to have attorneys for housing (he tried to have me evicted but it didn't work), family, and divorce courts, and also for immigration. The only one I still have now is the immigration attorney.

Thank you guys for your well wishes.

Congratulations!

I am so happy for you. Best of luck with the rest of the journey

I mostly buy Ja stuff at the Spanish supermarket "Compare" and a Phillipino store I found here in Raleigh. I don't cook too much Ja food. I only do it sometimes and am not really crazy about it anymore. I eat all I can when I go home to Ja. I have adapted to just cooking and eating stuff the American way with some Ja flair

Yeah I guess I'm lucky too cause the local Vons sells all that stuff on Yardie Wifes list. We have a few Caribbean markets and neighborhoods too. There's also a little Ethiopia for some Rasta style meals.

I have a question, do any of you all that have guys over here that were a fireball when they came and now they are tired all the time. I swear Lake wore me out when he got here, he was CONSTANTLY on the move, Wanting to go here,there, everywhere, and even around the house he was cleaning, doing the yard and now he is just achy and tired a lot. ts just like America wore him down or somethin. He is cold all the time which doesnt help, and he hurt his back last year at that darned temp job and it never has recovered, then he hurt his hip badly when we were out fishing, wrestling a turtle, etc, etc. Poor guy. He is SO accident prone. Has that happened with anyone else after a couple of years.

Hugs

Jill

HI Jill!!

My hubby's this way, never wants to go anywhere, spends his at home time sleeping, because there is not much of it With him working all the time. It's work, sleep, workout- at home by the way, sleep, and back to work. Same for me tho. We try to catch a movie on Friday nights with the kids. I went home for lunch today, he was there sleeping on the couch with ashy white lips, from licking them all the time in the cold weather. He really needs to stop!!!

[brownnskinn 0]

Ok, now dig in your heels and KEEP YOUR FAITH!!!! Remember Chica, 'Who God bless...No Man, Woman or NVC... can Many blessings and hugs sent your way,

, Gill

You are too funny

PAID maternity leave till 2009?????????????? WTH is a job like that?

Well the first six months is full pay, next three is 400 pounds a month, then 3 months on zero pay. Then my accrued vacation leave for last year which is three months on full pay kicks in, and then I will have accrued another three months vacation leave w when that`s finished

In the UK, statutory maternity leave is 9 months...My company has very good vacation leave too - 3 months

DAMN!!!!
