Newbies welcome here, applicants sponsoring for Jamaica

[AMANDAWOOD]

Good morning all I just wanted to introduce my self ....my name is amanda and am in the process of applying for husband in Portmore.
I just joined today and was taking sometime to go through I am must say I am grateful to see that there is a site with people who are going through the same process as myself....these last few months have been very difficult for me and my family and friends though they sympathize but none of them really know what it is like because they have never been through it before.... With my 1st anniversary coming up on the 27th of this month my job just denied me the time off and knowing that I will have to spend it without him is really depressing

Question.. If my hubby spent a year in switzerland should he have a letter written from his cousin whom he stayed with? He wasnt working there or anything, his cousin just took care of his necessities while he was there. But Im not sure if a letter is required, it doesnt state that, but someone told me the biggest thing is to answer any questions before they can even ask (Charlie ;D). Maybe im answering my own question here...lol

There are two things you need Amanada. There are two things immigration seems to be asking for now. They ask for both...for anyone who is thinking the new form trumps the old letter. You need to get her to write a letter, the letter states that she approves of this and is willing to hand over her child to leave Jamaica with the father. You also need to print off IMM 5604 http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/iran/assets/pdfs/visas/30_1_eng.pdf!! She needs to fill this out with your hubby..and a JP or notory public. For safety's sake, I'd get the letter JP stamped to so it's official. Once you have both of these...nothing she can do. Make copies...and keep a copy for yourself just to be safe...send in the originals. If your file is already sent in..you can send it to kingston still just make sure you include your file number and stuff in the package so they can add it to your package.

Then nothing she can do, also once your approved she has no more rights to the child. However I don't know your situation, so I don't mean to pass personal judgment because I don't know if the woman is a good mother or if her hesitation is for good reasons...but I'd just go gently with the woman. I imagine its very hard to send her child away, and there is probably the mothers fear of losing her. If she's letting the child come she obviously knows its best, probably her hesitation has alot to do with her emotions as a mother. If you work gently with her, I'm sure she won't back out! Make her know shes not losing her child, her child will still be in contact, just a better life for her in Canada!

[Mrslwsn]

cant answer that question amanda as i have no step kids, but SQ just gave you excellent advice!

Hey SQ, hey Ked Hey everyone!!!!!

 

[Kedeisha]

Good morning folks ;D

 

[AMANDAWOOD]

THANKS very much for the advise ..... i already have the papers signed by her and the letter .....
On more than one occasion i spoke to her and let her know that i love her daughter has i love my own.... only fear is that because of her issues with my husband and his family she will do something to try and stop the paper work..... i am a mother myself and would never try to keep a child from her mother because i know how it would feel if i was uanable to see my child .... i only hope and pray that everthing goes without any problems and we can all come to some kind of understanding without any hostilty or problems.....

you all have been great thank god i found this site
