WTH....they issued my husbands with out issuing his "daughter's" I can see the issue about the KJ needing the passport. Dang. It's aways sumting. This must be something new. They issued us a blue ship for my husband's daughter. Sorry to hear, again I believe everything happens for reason. You got it !!This too shall pass

[brownnskinn 0]

Gil..O My Lord..there is always something ...my gosh..mi understand getting the passport for KJ for the medical but not getting his visa b/c of it is another thing...

Gurl, that's what I'm saying! I don't know why we didn't think to git KJ's Baby passport!! But fuh deh whole bloodclaat sittin' fi be put pon hold! Mi a call deh 202# agen...jus fi si if a next person tell mi sittin' different!

Love ya,

Gill

[brownnskinn 0]

gill...maybe start asap on the passport(he will need it anyway) and can Ken maybe start with the DNA tomorow?? maybe there is a way he can get that asap if nothing else works....

There are ways of getting around the wait for the passport money talks and BS walks......AND why 6 months for the DNA test, sumboddi don't knoa what the hell dey chat bout! Maybe it tek 6months for dem to get around to reading it

I need KJ here ASAP...cause I know Ken is going to be miserable and worried without his son (justifiably so!) At this point, I honestly just want 3/11/08 to come and go! The whole flipping ting is like a claating horrible roller coaster ride!

Bless,

Gill

Tell me about it. My husband mentions it everyday. He wants his daughter here soo bad. He is very optimistic. We got our extention letter today he's so, on top of the world, I'm like we have a long ways to go. and from the sound of things it's not looking good.

You're right Kimkim! YOU ARE SO DYAM RIGHT!!! I still haven't gotten my interview letter yet...or I would have known! I didn't even think he would need a passport! I know....stupid! So mi jus call the 202 # again and THIS time I was told...They CAN issue Ken's visa without KJ's, but not the other way round! I swear these people are going to make me lose my mind!

Thank G-D

lol Lawny, mi know di flex

mi still nursing, mi a guh feed him fi at least a year, but as long as mi pump juss one time while mi deh work mi criss.....

In the UK, by law they MUST provide you with facilities where you can pump and also where you can store the milk, but can imagine how well THAT would go down here!

Mi know mi a guh look back an wish mi did deh home, but mi nuh care right now lol!

Depends on your employer. I pumped and stored at work and they were very good about meeting those demands.

People at my job steal milk so that would be a problem lol imagine that them stealing someones breast milk for their coffee. They even steal food thats sick right.

Ok, so now the latest thing in this process...maybe this can help someone coming AFTER me!

I filed for a K-1 & K2 visas for Ken & KJ. So, Ken & KJ went for their medical today! Only to find out KJ needs a passport in order for him to do the medical! Ken & I hadn't planned on bringing KJ up with him, until we had settled in and prepared for him. We were planning to bring him up in the fall (or whenever Ken's advanced Parole was approved)

Anyway, I just called my handy dandy 202# and asked them how to proceed, She said that they will NOT issue Ken's visa without KJ's! ...since I filed for them together! So for sure we are going to be getting a blue slip!!! So, we have to wait on KJ's Birth Certificate...then they will say they want a DNA test & KJ's passport, before Ken can come up!

Somebody told me that the US approved DNA test can take SIX months! Mobay Hope takes the samples and send it to the US for testing.

So it's looking like maybe another 8-9 months before Ken can come up and I feel like I am going to die right now!! This is so different from what I was originally told (memba when Homegirl lost KJ's Birth Certificate) they told me that Ken's visa would be issued and we had a year to sort out KJ's blue slip and bring him!

Lord...give me strength!

Thanks for listening...love you,

Gill

I have a good feeling that everything will work out! ((((((GILL))))))

Tonya - He can't get a US passport without becoming a US citizen - until then, he'll travel back and forth on his JA passport and greencard. I think with the K3 you can travel at any time - he should have a stamp in his passport that gives him that right.

Not sure about the driver's license - each state is different - I had a friend who drove here on his JA license - until he got busted one too many times by the police for speeding, and they told him he MUST get a US one.

In IL u can drive on your Ja license for 90 days.

The company I used was the Genetic testing Laboratory. 1-866-833-6895. They do legally binding test as well, not sure the the embassy will accept it from them tho. Ours 200$. We swabbed her cheeks the day he left JA and mailed it the day after he came back. The results were ready in a week.

Gill,

Unless they changed the rules from early last year, that's what happened with one of my cousin. She filed for her fiance and his child, but the mother was giving them problems and would not allow the child to go with him to the interview. Her fiance came up and then the child follow I believe 5 or 6 months later. Maybe the rules change...mi no know...mi lawd...what a piece a rahtidclaat STRESS fi add on pon u

There were mostly familys there when we went for the interview. One guy was there with his daughter, they were asked what took so long to add his name to the birth cert., were you dead? the lady asked. So she said that that they needed DNA testing and then she gave the option for him to go ahead of his daughter to the states, or to wait to go at same time. So they approved his visa and blue slipped the daughter. I saw several like this where they only blue slip for the child and approved the mom or dad. I didnt witness any denials. So no worries Gill u KJ And Ken will be fine.

I believe the child has a year to follow at least with the K-1, then you do have to the I-130.
