On my GCMS notes, my security and criminality checks both were initiated on the day of my sponsorship approval in Mississauga.

Hey Jamgirl! Are you referring to your's or your husbands? I'm referring to the PR applicant as in when KG receives ap, at which point do they initiate the background/security checks.

Good morning everyone!! Hope all is great with everyone!! I'm preparing for my trip next week to see hubby. It's our first anniversary and we'll be renewing our vows all over again.

Just curious, at what stage are the background/security checks done; simultaneously or after the interview Ready's husband will be doing?
Most applicants who are convoked for interview as early as RFMO's husband have their checks done afterwards. Remember that the relationship must first be deemed eligible so the applicant can be considered a member of the family class, so where they are convoked to an interview to consider the bona fides of the relationship, the background checks and so on will take place after the interview has been deemed successful. In cases where it is something within the background that causes the interview (possible misrepresentation, for example) and not the relationship bona fides, the background checks would have already been initiated.

Interviews are held at the embassy in Kingston, nowhere else. All interviewed applicants must go there.

Terra Nova is right across the road, basically. Medallion is a short walk up Hope Road, while Pegasus, Hilton and Courtleigh are over in New Kingston, a short taxi ride away.

hey all... been lurking and rooting for you all, glad to see new faces come and even gladder when the older ones go :)

anyways, just a comment on the interview... since you'll be there, go with your husband to the embassy... you will allowed to accompany him into the waiting room at a minimum, and let the interviewer know you're there... they may not (probably won't) want to talk to you, but your presence will help add creditability and if the interviewer has any questions/doubts they are free to call you into the office at any time during the interview at their discretion.

and i totally agree on attire, most jamaicans know that they should not enter their own government offices in such a fashion, it baffles my mind that some feel it appropriate to enter a foreign government office of a country they are hoping to be granted access to... this is more important than any job interview you will ever have, there will be other job interviews, unless you're planning on marrying a whole wealth of foreigners there will likely not be other immigration interviews... treat it accordingly! Dress appropriately, speak appropriately, present yourself appropriately... nothing less than that should be an option!

but that's just my two cents... :)
trust me i will be right there willing and waiting for them to call me ....let them try keeping me away
i just told my boss that i will be taking more time off than i originally expected .... they are not happy but family comes first
sighhhh i want this over sooo bad ..... i have that happy nervous scared all emtions wrapped up in one feeling that make my belly a hurt me jah know im going crazy right now
