Good morning Chickie and everyone else. Beautiful weather indeed. Wishing your hubby happy belated birthday. Just know that very very sooner you will both be united and will be sharing every birthday, christmas, valentine's day and more together. I know your light at the tunnel is just around the corner. Dont give in or give up. Hang in there. You're payday is coming. Can't be much longer now. Know that God has an appointed time for everything and once that day comes, nobody can turn back His hands. I know it's difficult and I feel your pain but just remember that good days are ahead and you will soon see the goodness that the Lord has in store for you. Kingston come on, time to release those passports and COPR. People are getting very depressed and need to be with their spouses. Process taking mighty too long. have some empathy on these people who are emotionally drained. You can do much better than that no doubt. We crave your efficiency and speediness right now and we also claim it in Jesus Name Amen!. Keep encouraged Chickie. God will richly bless you.

Good morning everyone! What beautiful weather finally....is that why everyone is hiding? No update on me, just waiting for my notes to come back to see wah gwan with our file! Really hoping they call soon and ask us for something, anything, i just wanna hear something! It was my hubby's birthday yesterday and i felt so bad cause I couldn't be there to share it with him.....that makes both our birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, and our first anniversary that we didn't get to spend with each other, how depressing
Going to go to the states this weekend and try to get some shopping done.......I need to start picking up clothes for the kids when they come and i have nooooo idea what the hip thing is now adays and they are 11 and 16 so they need to be hip LOL any help in that department, i would appreciate! Well gotta get to work, ya'll have a good day and will try to pop in throughout the day!

hey everyone its has lovely weather for the past week, i see all our September people for Kingston VO are still in the Caribbean sea looking.
so my wife spoke her MP and he said Jamaica has the worst visa office in the world sigh, that's not good coming from someone in that position. So if they know why not do something about it, it cant be good there is one lady dealing with everyone's profile, its not fair to her or us. Our lives, families and relationship suffers because of this, not good people.

i guess we keep the faith till she reaches our file.

so since my husband is now at the 18 month mark. i don't know why but i have a feeling they'll tell him to redo his medical. Should he go and do it just in case? just to have it ready if they ask? But then again they have my husbands passport so he wouldn't be able to go do it anyways

 

[co16062012]

if they ask for the passport i dont think a medical is required again, my last friend they had her passport for 4 months

why did they have the passport for so long. was it an ARC or a complicated case?

yes it is not easy when you are trying to support everyone all on one income that is for sure.....It does not leave alot for the little extra bit called a plane ticket! If it was only the plane ticket, i could fly down every month, but it's the car rental, money for food, money for spending, hubby says bring me this, bring me that.....i just don't have it to go so I can't! You need at least $2000 everytime you plan a trip down, 500 for ticket (at least) 500 for car rental....the rest for spending, Its not easy!

You and me both have it hard girl this process drains the pocket book for sure. I spent 2500 just for a week and 4 days. 300 just goes to bills down in Jamaica then have to send grocery money and transportation money for school. Oh and how could I forget about digicel lol and my own personal bills.

yea tell me about it!!! thank god for credit cards. I spend 1800 in a week and alsmot another 1800 on my plane ticket. We didnt rent a car this time just for the first day I came in and the 2 before I left. Other then that we taxi from St. Mary to Ochi. ALso taxi to Kingston so I can see grandma. If I stay in St. Mary its cheaper for me no shopping, local food and hotel is cheaper too.

 

[tamarindball]

Wow. That's a long time. I know you will get to see him soon. I trust the 17th will be a reality. Will remember you in my prayers.Keep strong and keep the faith. Absence makes the heart grows even fonder!!!

Hi everyone, haven't posted in a while, been really busy, leaving on Friday. But I'm starting to gather what I need to file for my fiance when we get married in july. Is there anything I need to get/do while I'm still in ja? We have phone bills going two years back. Tons of pics, a letter I sent him through the mail a few years ago. I can't remember the exact date we met. But I remember our first kiss. I feel stressed and the process don't even start, and how do prove source of income? Do I have to have lots of cash in my savings? Is there a minimum amount of time that i have to be employed for? And am I correct in understanding that he gets a conditional permanent resident status for the duration of the processing of the aplication?how long until he would get his work permit? And where can i find the open work permit application forms? Am I missing anything? Please help me figure this out .

I hear ya! I can't even afford to send hubby so much......my hubby lives off the land mostly, breadfruit, mango, and alot of turkey neck and chicken back lol
