welcome aboard aba, although you're supposed to get your AOR (aknowledge of receipt) many sponsors never get it so don't fret over it. You've come to the right place as we have an awesome group with experience in most things from KG so ask our forum family any questions you have and someone will respond. We have all gained valuable knowledge from one another and will help whenever possible.
Morning family, new week for KG and hope there is a couple of hereos in the VO that want to help us out god willing

Thanks Canuk! We sent in everything imaginable...medical...police reports...paid for everything as well. If we've done it all right anyone know how long typically we'll have to wait? We've been married 10 years ... lived in Bahamas and now moved to Canada. Our oldest child has been diagnosed with NF type 1 and the reason we moved since there's no hospitals on the island where we lived and no speech therapists, occupational therapists etc. Glad to be home in Canada but sure missing my hubby.

Man Soanxious I am hoping and praying. Hope you get that call too girl. Can I tell you how my cell phone ever charged and never leave mi side... :p
My little girl wants a sister but she is so spoiled being the only child I dont know how she will manage. She will have to wait a couple of years for that tho as we wanna get well settled before baby time.

Canuck I hope you get word soon. When is your next flight to JA?

Welcome Aba. You couldnt have found a better place. Are you waiting on the sponsorship approval letter from Canada or the AOR in Jamaica?

ABA: That part of ecas will be updated when Kingston gets your file and starts processing. They don't seem to like updating ecas that much so dont rely on that for much details. Usually they update it when they start processing and when the file is completed nothing in between.

mrs lwsn... flying out of where? westjet was having a sale last week, but i think it finished... i saw 317 in nov out of pearson, not too bad...

i've got some good rates when we moved down i had to show proof of return, knowing this i found a $39 flights (to ottawa, but it didn't matter we weren't using them...) 212 for 4, taxes in for 4 of us (me and 3 kids)... didn't hurt so bad loosing the money knowing how cheap the flights were...

when we move back i found a flight for 688 (AC) out of kgn to pearson in total for all 5 of us (me + hubby + 3 kids)... not the cheapest, but cheaper than i flew out of kingston in a long time...

so i've had some luck... tho it's balanced out, i spend 700 to go ATI for the weekend... and about the same for Easter weekend (carnival)...

priorities! lol

Afternoon forum folks. How everybody? Hope those who celebrated the long weekend enjoyed it.

Today has been productive for hubby and me. He made the report regarding his missing passport, and he got the documents together to apply for a new one, he just needs his guarantors to sign them again. I spent 70 minutes in the bank getting a bank draft to pay the FBI for my US police certificate. When I add up the fees to get the bank draft and the FedEx fees to send the envelope, I realise it cost me more to send the request than the amount of money I am paying the FBI to do it! Weird :p

So, finally, something done on my application checklist! Next up is to compile our evidence into a neat folder, and re-do my application (I did a rough draft first).

Hoping for some more good news for those ahead in line this week. Rosemel, interview is next week! :)

Q. Do female frogs croak?
A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough.

Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be?
A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years.
A. George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes.

Q. You've been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman?

A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment.

Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking?

Q. When a couple have a baby, who is responsible for its sex?

I thought the Air Ja flight went from Pearson to MBJ and then ended up at NMIA? When hubby was leaving two weeks ago, they told him the flight was delayed because it arrived late in MBJ. Don't quote me though, I haven't flown with Air Jamaica in years...prefer Delta.
