We having the same timeline but my file is still in Kingston....they told me first we were in POS and 1 week later I sent an email and they replied that my file is not there!! And when I emailed Kingston I receive a confirmation that my email will be transferred to the missions abroad! So presently I think my file is in the ocean!

We are 4 or 5 of us travelling to Jamaica in Oct! We having a JAMFAM GT at Margaritaville - Mobay (hipstrip) on Oct. 16 for ladies night party ! So if you want to join us it would be nice ! :)
Mel you said ladies night party but you just mean bc it is ladies night at Mville right? Hubbies are welcome to join us right?

Do you have to redo the Canadian police check if your husband has been out of the country since the application was filed?

Hello impatientgirl :) and you are most welcome. Yes immigration is a painful process and prayer is very important. For sure a lot of us live paycheque to paycheque in most countries and as another member said there are always good and bad things about countries, people and life!!

I believe the files getting transferred are a good thing for the folks going to POS and for the folks remaining in Kingston for the reasons I already mentioned. It is always a good thing when anyone receives any communication on their file because it means it has been/is being looked at. I think it may still be too early to tell if POS will prioritize the Kingston files but I do think within the next 2-3 months you will all start seeing a lot of action. Once you start seeing this then you can start to see a bit of a pattern or trend. If you have been around since last November, it is pretty normal for immigration to have to look at the file on the one year date (I think this is also called the bring forward -BF- date) which if I am not mistaken, was more common in Kingston than POS last year. POS last year, usually touched most files within less than a year. It will be interesting to stay tuned and now more than ever for everyone to update each other with any glimmers of hope! I always say a success for one on this journey means a success for all. Blessings.
Well said my dear again thanks again n I know am getting thru soon

Thank you. I emailed Kingston VO at 9:05 this morning concerning my Police Certificate which was done on Dec. 04, 2013. They responded at 9:58 to say that it is valid for one (1) year.
Welcome Charlyn!

You have likely set a record for the quickest email reply ever from Kingston! That's awesome! Do you have a copy of your police record? I'm just wondering if it says valid for 9 months on the bottom? My husband did his in October 2013 and that's what it says.

Maybe for immigration purposes Kingston is considering them valid for one year still? Let's hope so! My husband will be doing his again in the next couple of months, so we have it ready when they ask for it, but hopefully the 12 month validity can save some people from having to do it twice!

SAME HERE!!!! KINGSTON IS WORKING! I was freaking out today at work and my students asked me if everything was alright! I told them it was tears of Joy and not tears of sadness...

The LORD works in mysterious ways! This morning before the email came through, I was talking to my love on the phone telling him I don't know how much longer I could go on with all this and then the email came about 930am....

HALLELUJAH! THERE IS HOPE! :D :D

Congrats SAMMY, SH, SH & baby sh and anyone else that's had some movement!! that is so exciting...tis the season!!

CDNandTrini - giiiirlll your stories literally make me laugh to tears -- it's likely because I can TOTALLY picture Mr. P doing the same things...I have shared your landing story re: not realizing he couldn't step on the snow to SO many people over the last year...I told Mr. P about it too and he was like "yuh know, mi thought it was like sand mon" See? He would have done the same! ;D Also, wouldn't it be amazing to get the JamFam Caribbean/CDN Spouses for a party...Aw lawd...

I'll def keep you posted girly - come back and visit us very soon! Also -- has anyone heard of Immigration just "stopping in" like they threaten :) I haven't heard of that yet, so I was curious.
