It was a connecting flight to Michigan. I had a long lay over in Atlanta due to mechanical problems with Delta Airline (ridiculous). I should arrive in Flint around 11 pm but did not get here until after 1 am.
I got my social security number 10 days after I got here and welcome to America notice on July 21,2010. |

| Embassy Review : |
I slept over night in Kingston (well I barely slept because I was so nervous) so I could be closer to the embassy. I had a May 4 interview at 7:30 am. I got there at about 6:45 and joined the line for immigrants. I went inside where they check your bags and you have to walk under a detector. I went in a building where they give you a waiting number and a yellow sheet to write your passport number and address on in case you are approved you take it to DHL. Well I was so nervous I could feel my heart thumping in my chest. I took out a book about Prophets and Kings in the Old testament (very inspirational). It was about God\\\'s mercy on us and no matter how disobedient we are, He always come through... It helped me calm down. The first time my number was called, I went up to a window where a lady instructed me to take my finger print and told me she didn\\\'t have my marriage certificate, which I found odd because the email I got from the NVC specifically state what was sent in the package to Jamaica. I had a copy so I gave it to her. The next time my number was called I went up to and African American male. He held up my police record and told me that it was expired (I was shocked. I told him I did one in November and he responded sternly saying that the one he has is from January 2009 and it is expired. He pulled out the dreaded \\\"BLUE SHEET!!!!\\\" Then he asked me questions such as:
(1) Where we met?
(2) How we met?
(3) When we got married?
(4) How long he stayed for the first time?
(5) When was the last time I saw him?
(6) How many persons were at the wedding? (two plus the pastor)
(7) why? (we had a private wedding with two witnesses)
(8) If I had pictures? (I made a cute scrap book )
(9) If my husband was there with me (no he has to work)
(10) If I had western union receipts?
I had everything from the arm bands we wore at the hotels we stayed at to cards my husband, father in-law and sister in-law sent me, to phone records since 2008!!! (trust me I was prepared  ). He then told me that I should make an appointment and return with my police record and passport. I sorted the police record the same day and went to the NCB bank to pay for a pin number. I called in and got an appointment for the eighteenth at 1:30 pm. The second time around I was a bit nervous but more confident. I waited for about 5 minutes inside the building and got called to the counter where a lady took my passport, police record and blue sheet. She only asked for the blue sheet because it was inside the passport but she saw it before I could answer and that was it she stamped about three ticket looking paper and told me to go to window 26 and pay for my visa to be delivered. I said \\\"thank you\\\" and went to the counter. I paid $900 Ja. dollars and left. I was ecstatic, I couldn\\\'t wait to call my Sweetheart and give him the news. He was screaming and whooping over the phone. This was really a \\\"JOURNEY.\\\" My advice is to be confident, trust in God and as long as you are being honest everything will be ok!!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
