Hey everyone, good evening to all.

Gbw - Asking for original documents is good news, next step would likely be interview if one is necessary, I think. Small update, but a good one!

Jammy - you must be sooo excited! Get ready for it

 

[nae-nae]

good evenine everyone!

godbless - congrats on the doc request! it's nice to know they are doing something on the file. Hopefully they will bypass the interview and get right to PP request!!!

jammy - wow, only 2 more days!!!! I can't wait to change your status to LANDED on the updates list 8) are you packed?? I bet hubby is just as excited as you are! it's going to be an awesome Christmas this year....your daughter is going to love it!!!

well folks.....I confess, I broke down today and bought a flight to JA for New Year's Eve. I don't have any vacation time left this year so I can't go for Christmas. I can spend Christmas with my family and New Year's with hubby's family. I bought Westjet so if by some miracle hubby gets the PP call...I can cancel my flight and transfer it into hubby's name and it's all paid for ;D

this one is for godbless.....

[Godblesswife]

Thanks guys this update came out of nowhere, I must admit I was not even excpecting to hear anything from them till January. and there it was my tiny little update ;D glad to know its finally moving along.

Hubby was like "oh so I can cancel my flight then" I'm like "slow down Babe, lol we dont know if they are moving quick to slow down again" lol "get your but here I need to make sure I get me some TLC long overdued" still have have to keep it real man.

then he went "oops it was meant to be a surprise" and now he still wont say when he's coming
ahhh boy. oh well as long as mi get some.

 

[Godblesswife]

Jammy dont worry about the cold when you finally you'll have your own live blanket. just think of all the extra snuggles and cuddles you'll share as a result.

Here's to a smooth landing and a lifetime of happiness

 

[Helpmeplease]

Jammy!! You must be so excited right about now!!! ) safe travels

I entered a radio contest to win a trip to Jamaica in January and last night they called my name on the radio so I am now qualified to win! I will find out on Dec 20th!!! I would love to win it!! Fingers crossed! It's for Sandals Ocho Rios..anyone been thre before? looks nice...looks huge!

 

[CharlieD10]

Helpme - been a few years since I worked in Ocho Rios, but Sandals Ocho Rios was a lovely property then.

Everyone - morning, have a great day.

 

[canuck0469]

Jammy, you're in luck girl, weather is warming right up and you'll land in some decent temps. Gotta be excited eh!!!

Godbless, congrtas, lets all pray for no interview and just a PPR

Helpme, Sandals in Ocho is still nice, went there last spring

 

[Sickntiredofjamaica]

Morning forum family so i had a dream night b4 last night that i got a call from the immigration and they requested that i left jamaica immediately.....then last night i had another dream they were asking me for my birth certificate and a ticket to prove i can leave jamaica the following day i got up these 2 days with my fingers crossed hoping to god that these dreams do come thru
and also thinking to myself if something like this is about to happen


big ups to all and JAMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyy you land my girl ?????????????

LETS O KINGSTON LETS GO

 

[CharlieD10]

I am grinning like this because hubby found his missing passport! He still has to send it back, because he had already made a police report, but the replacement will be fast-tracked.

Also, and very important, he can now copy the pages from the passport showing his original Immigration landing stamp, and the extension stamp we got so he could stay with me longer. Every little bit of evidence is important, as I am learning from reading this forum!

We have set his next visit at some time in spring (wish it could be sooner!) and we decided to apply for his marriage exemption so he can get a PR for Jamaica. That way Immigration doesn't give him a hard time when he visits (they didn't believe him when he said he was coming to get married, maybe the earrings had something to do with it). So funny, isn't it? Here's what we need to do so he can get PR in Jamaica:

$520 Cnd fee (split between Min of Labour and Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency)
Certified and original copies of our marriage certificate
Certified and original copies of my birth certificate
Two certified photos of him, and one of me
Affidavit sworn in front of JP that we occupy a common matrimonial home in Jamaica
Two page form for Min of Labour
Three page form for PICA
One day processing at Min of Labour
One week processing at PICA
Done!

What do I need to do so I can live with him in his country? Well, we already know that! :

 

[chelley]

charlie...

why doesn't he just go for unconditional landing... when we all moved down to Jamaica that's what i was going to do (I ended up just overstaying (bad bad bad), but i couldn't really part with 40k (10k a piece for me and the 3 kids) to get the unconditional landing stamp... once he gets that, he shouldn't have any issues coming or going... he can actually work on it too (although you do have to apply for a work permit, it's a simple process, not a lenghty one for those with landing restrictions)...

lemme see if i can dig up the link, it's confusing, but i did call and verify that it was the best option for us...


oh, btw, awesome news MISSING!!!! and congrats to everyone else who got their smaller updates, any news is hopefully good news... .

Kimore, sorry that happened to you guys.... i've found that when kgn makes a mistake and is called out on it, they sometimes overcompensate a bit... when they lost our son's birth certificate copy, they told us to bring in another and while we were at it, bring in the ppt.... tell your husband to express his disappointment at their error (politely) when he does have the interview... that he was very excited and anxious and made arrangemnets to travel and such and such and such, only to be told that there was no interview scheduled on the date that he was told (print out any evidence you have that they mis-informed you of the date and have it handy.... their mistakes should not just be shrugged off)...

alrighty.... gotta go.. work is busy and i've been off too much lately to be multislacking today!

 

[chelley]

charlie... i'd call or visit PICA and ask about the unconditional landing b/c they've changed up their website a bit and it excludes those entitled to citizenship thru marriage from the list of those eligible for uncondtional landing... it did this previous and i found this document (albeit I found it on the PICA website, but unlinked (i.e. found it from google))...

http://www.jamaicatradeandinvest.org/pdf/vol6/section12_immigration_requirements.pdf

see section 3.6

i had called in Feb of this year, and was told that those married to jamaican citizens did qualify for unconditional landing (my children all did by direct decent).... we ended up getting the passport pick up call a couple days later, so didn't bother....

it's worth a call... if the status is still available to him, it would save you some time and money, the process is MUCH simplier and the end result is pretty much the same!

I received my sponsorship approval in June/09.
Can't apply for PR until adoption licence and documents received.
This will be soon!

Thank you for the info about MP.

Thank you also for keeping track of everyone!

[CharlieD10]

Cehlley - this is why this forum rocks! Thank you so much for the heads-up! I will discuss with hubby and we will sort things out with PICA so we know what we are doing when he gets here. Thanks!!!
