...............mi have a question. Well, my co-worker have a question. What is the difference between a I-134 and I-864. My co-worker used a lawyer, her fiance is from Jamaica. She doing K-1. I was on the phone with her and the lawyer's assistance and the woman told her that she needs to pay $380.00 more once the received a bill from NVC. $80.00 for the visa and $300.00 to process the I-864? What is the I-864 for? I thought you had to file a I-134. And I thought you paid for the visa before the interview. Please correct me. She pay all this damn money and the attorney can't even talk to her or answer her e-mails. I would cuss some BBclatt if that was me. But she's a quiet lady and well...cho. I just hate to see people taken advantage of. I don't remember reading anything about I-864 when I put my packet together. Lawddd did I miss something.

Little Red Riding Hood is quicking my body with CRAMPS this month.

ok the I-864 is for the AOS unless she needs a co-sponser and sometimes the embassy will request the co-sponser fill out a I-864..that happend to me....

from what i remember and when is being done as of today she has to pay for the visa/interview ahead of time...i think it is 100.00$

i am a little confused...is she doing a k-1 or or k-3/cr-1......because i thought when you send the packet in for the K-1 you send a long the money you don't get a bill...

Lawd...now now mi worse confused. She filed K-1. So, you do have to pay for the visa for the K-1 ahead of time. They're telling her she has to pay the visa fee for the K-1 here in the US and NVC will send the receipt to the consulate in Jamaica. I don't remember reading that anywhere.

She did send the packet for the K-1 and paid $455. She's received her approval I think last month or December. She doesn't have an interview date yet. I have to ask her again. The paralegal in her attorney's office is told her she needs to pay $80.00 for the non-immigrant visa and $300 to process the I-864. And all her fiance need to do is show up with the police certificate and the approval notice and attend the interview when it's scheduled. Her fiance will not need to bring an affidavit of support, tax records, employment, etc...anything like that at the itnerview. I told her to go to the attorney's office. Does that sound right?

Dunno what they talkin about chris paid 100 for the visa at paymaster in Mobay a few days before the interview and i filled out an I134 and had it notorized.. didnt do the 864 till AOS. We did K-1 finished in October 07.

Thanks Jah'love, that's how I remember reading it. I think the fee is $131 now. She just read what you posted, now she upset. I told her to go to the attorney's office and sit there until he talks to her. They charged her $2250 to process her K-1. Mi wah know wah dem do fidat mout a money.

bumbocleet!! Mi a go still file visa fi people!!!!

Welcome to VJ.

Your guy may welcome the cold weather. Damien enjoys it for some reason

Thank you. And I am certainly glad to hear that! I can only hope Anthony will feel the same way.

My hubby didn't wear a coat the first winter...just a long sleeve shirt, gloves, sunglasses, jeans and boots

I always have to remind him to wear a coat. He's loves the cold weather...not me.

We recently switched cars because the heat works better in one car than the other. I let him drive the "icebox".

sounds like mr jengles. i don't understand how he doesn't get sick, says he loves it, in J.A. he would sweat all time.

Howdy Family,

Lawd wat a way onnuh can CHAT!!!!

Kimkim, I hate to tell you this, but Chica I damn near drove myself CRAZY ...trying to potty training my two! Finally, when I let go and let G-d...they figured it out on their own! (I just wish they would LIFT UP the toilet seat instead of playing 'How well can we pee in the toilet set hole!!' ) Kimorie will git it...don't push her too much! I did what Nans recommended, pull-ups, every dyam ting...and finally it wasn't til they were ready...be patient Sweets. I used to say well sometime before they reach 18 hopefully they will pee in the potty!

Lawny, sarry fi ear bout yuh nast fall Chica! Iam sure yuh a guh ave some nasty bruise dem inna deh mawning . Also sarry fi ear bout yuh friend ...it's a disgrace how some lawyers will take advantage of innocence people in need of assistance! She should call about 8-12 immigration lawyers and get an average cost of a how much they charge for a k-1 visa! I would then submit my information and a letter to the State Bar of Lawyers in her State! This way he is on record of overcharging. They will let him know that he is now on probation and one more complaint in this nature could get him disbarred. That's if no one else has made a complaint against him for this same issue in the past!

SJB ...You're my type of Gurl!! ...Hopefully, my bedroom will be more for rooksing and less for sleeping when Ken gets here!

IslandWoman, WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!! It's so nice to have you with us! I know what you mean about the ice rink! My job closed today...I went out shoveled 10 inches of cold wet snow of mu property for an hour and a half! Came back inside...feed the boys and went to sleep!! Just think the official start of spring is only a month away! Again, welcome and it's nice to have you!

Jengy SISTREN!!! You were the first one I thought of this mawning!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...TEK HIT EASY OUT THERE!!!!! Tonight it's gonna freeze...suh JUST TEK YUH TIME GOING WHEREVER YUH GOING!!!!!

Sonny,Chica, what a wonderful surprise for Hubby!!!! I know what you mean about keeping good secrets!! I SUCK!! I just get so excited...I want to spill the beans...(Kimkim can testify to that ) Well Gurl, go as lang as you can...it's the thought that counts and I am sure he will be appreciative!

Yardie, Gurl, I love your crazy looking cat! That's EXACTLY how I looked when I cam in afta shovling this mawning!! This week felt like it would never end! It's like the closer my interview date gets...the crazier I feel!! Hang in there Chica!!! Know that you are loved & supported by your Yardie Fam!

JA-JAThanks for the info about the visa $$. I am so dyam confused! I'll call you later to find out what exactly Ken should be paying at this point!

Ok, I think that's it...I love you guys...I'll check in later...I'm going back to bed!

Bless-bless,

Gill

Update on my cousin

- She found a renter for the house. An older couple who is waiting on their house to finish building in Hanover. Here is the new problem. She wants to know if she should tell them about the situation with the ex that was living there and he might create problems (even though there is a no trespass order in place). I told her they're going to find out anyway, because the neigbors are going to talk.

Update on my co-worker

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Cho BAXIDE...mi hit di wrang rass button

Update on co-worker

All I can say is I love her son...... It appears that the assistant did give her the wrong information and her son asked for an itemization of the amount of money that was charged to the attorney. It appears that all the money has not been spent yet. The $2250 includes her AOS, OAS mi rass wah evah it call. So, it lool like she mek out arite.

On the hair topic - have any of you tried the Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner? My hair is fine but dry (WW here), so I need a leave in - I bought that on sale to try it, and it was way heavy for my hair - I gave it to my girl, who has kinda coarse hair that she usually twists - she loves the conditioner.

Different topic - anyone have any suggestions for a meeting point at MBJ? My next trip is my first of being picked up at the airport - and of travelling by myself to JA - I am a bit of an overcompulsive planner, and trying to figure out a spot - Right now I am panicking because I have a plane ticket and that's it, lol! I know things will be fine, but makes me nervous -

Hey Susy,

Maybe meet at the restaurant/bar as you come out of the airport...by the pick-up location...I think it's called Island Grill (someone correct me if I'm wrong!) As you walk out from inside the airport..where the cabbies are...the restaurant is to your right I believe.

That and the Texaco station are all I can think of...and the Texaco station is a likkle walk up from the Terminal exit!

Bless,

Gill

Gill,

Mi nevah know seh dem ave meeting place a di airport...mi always have fi push mi way out pass di crouwd and all the psssttttttttt and wahpon FATTIE fi git to mi ride. Only advice, be careful and only use TAXIS you can get at the STAND...

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

I like that site too. JALove if your hair has a tendancy to get dry I would suggest leaving in conditioner...not the leave in kind...and using it mutliple time a week, while your hair is natural. I like Motions. This will intensely soften your hair. After awhile you'll notice a difference and not need to condition it as much. Also use an oil mositurizer. The kind that has the same texture of lotion or conditioner...I use Motions which is pink just like Lusters famsous brand but just not as thick and I don't like the Lusters smell. This should help with your dryness.

it was only in that one spot i dunno why lik the very back middle close to the top. it normally curls up when wet but that part gave me drama!!! my hair is damage so maybe cut off start fresh is a great idea. I love motions conditioner and also i want to say its called diez Y uno lol dont quote me!!! they use that in the dominican shops i like that too. Im going to get some more motions. I miss MD for the hair stylist my hair always was right! its not the same here but my guy does pretty good he cuts well and works wonders with the flat iron so it comes out super straigh if u have a perm or not. Hes a rasta and jamaican. Why does everyone assume he is gay! all men that do hair arent gay im supposed to go tomorrow but i twisted my hair and really dont feel like sitting but i do need a good trim i havent been since october

JAH'LOVE my hair was in my back and because of stress and other issues I chopped it off. It was breaking alot and that was the best thing to do. I cut in in December to my ears and it's now grown down my chin. Don't know what it is in out family, but our hair grows like grass then it stops once it gets 1/2 way past our shoulders. Before I was stressed out and all that I went to the DOMICAN SHOPS and they took excellent care of my hair. $25.00 wash and set and blow-dry. I would go 7:30am on Saturday mornigs and be out of there by 9am. Best thing...NO APPOINTMENTS necessary. I loved it. Only thing I see with them, they don't really know how to style short hair.
