charlieD -  thanks for posting that....good to know!!!  we are just waiting for a letter asking for police re-do so I can give my husband step by step instructions now lol  I like the lay down and recover steps lol  you must have to after going through all of that!

So Charlie, you sent your police record with your application? They didnt keep it.. when I did ours back in Feb 2009 they kept it and we couldnt send it in.. it was to be obtained.. looks like they changed it.... thats exactly what I wanted to know!! Thanks!


Thanks for the hillarious and descriptive play by play! LOL  Only if in the instructions they could tell it the way you did!  

Sheraig... yup looks like you send it with the package... and I think its true Jammy... if you sent it with your application or if it is to be obtained because they kept it because thats what they used to do... its all the same...

I think its better if you send it with your package... its one less step that they have to do to get information.

Thanks all for the info!

CharlieD tooo funny

But I think the long wait time has to do with all the people redoing from June. After a while it should get settled again. They may even reduce the express service back to 3 days.

nae nae... thanks for the clarification. since I am out of the loop as far as up to date info, I am 100% sure that your info is correct and my info is outdated... i remember what I was like during my wait... I researched everything.. and I am sure you are doing the exact same thing.

Sorry if i made anyone confused lol...  

All KNG needs to do now is send emails to those who have emails addresses along with calling and or sending out mail....

The whole mail issue was the worst... so for those who put down an email address on the application should automatically get an email especially when it is a request for Orginal Documents, passports, any clarifications on the application, medical and police redos or any important information necessary. I understand not everyone has email and internet or even a computer but for those who are the sponsor they could at least put down their email address and have it sent to them.

Mail in JA can take days, weeks, months... and you end up relying on a whole leap of people to handle it properly.

one of these days KNG will be up to par with things.......  cuz u don know that all of those employees are sitting on their blackberries on FB and other things during work... so they well know how to use a computer.

[kc416]

thanks for the negative already! lol...  take it easy on me now

[jamwifey26]

DWL  @  KC negatives going around hard these day

[kc416]

LOL.. ever since the whole rating thing people went on a negative rating spree - jokes...  I see it hasnt changed much!!

least of anyones worries I am sure!!

I dont feel no way tho, no hard feelings to that person... ONLY GOD CAN RATE ME.. and anything wrong I have done I confess!

 

[nae-nae]

you're welcome KC!!  who knows who is correct anymore since KG is unpredictable and things change from day to day lol  I think charlieD is the most correct and funny!  I think Immigration has a job for you charlie....writing their guides lol

good point about the email thing KC...I put hubby's email address on the application and I keep telling him to ckeck it just in case but so far nothing.  He checked the post office yesterday and still no AOR

don't worry about the negatives KC ... someone's been dingin some of us lol  I just gave you a positive to even it out    in fact, I gave everyone a positive just for fun  

[kc416]

lol... thanks  I returned the act of kindness .... ahhhh the good old forum eh!

but about the email... it would save so much time and reduce some errors... even tho email is not 100% relable either!

[soanxiouswifey]

Welcome back KC!!!! lovely to see you.

Jammy,Godbless,Sheraig...big up unuself

i am still in my low state, not feeling like i wonna do much, feeling so down. I have been reading most of the morning, tryna keep my mind off things.

For the police report you have to pick it up yourself, in the letter kgn sent me they said specifically that you are now responsible for picking up and dropping off the police report.

and Kc that whole negative thing...i wish that coward would come out and say what they want to say cause mi feel fi trace smaddy today! i got a negative too, not that i give a damn about the silly minus sign, just that there is so much tension and stress dealing with immigration i would just use the negative as an excuse to cuss out dem claat.

***guess thats another negative for me now*** lmao!

[sheraig]

Soanxious: u always mek mi laugh...

So funny!!!!

[kc416]

Yes Anxious.. Lovely to see you back up and posting on here too... this forum is a great venue to vent and ask questions and get advice and support..... i wanted and needed to get updated on the procedures and instead of going through all the small print on line i figured a few questions on here wouldnt hurt.... and sure enough my questions were answered and answered again....

Boy if there was only an immigration for dummies book...

plus soon gonna start see if we can get some of the family up here..... come like we cant get away from this immigration stuff...  from my family to his family... pure immigrants!

But hope you cheer up soon... good news must come your way... when your good people good things happen...  just imagine you will soon be here just in time for the freezing cold weather to freeze yuh rarse off!

Nae, I just had to make it funny, but at the time, I thought I was going to scream.  At one point people were passing by and asking "A wha gwaan ova dey suh? Dem a gi wey summin mek alla dem ya people deh out yah fram mawnin?"

Honestly, the way you get dealt with, it's like you are begging a favour and not paying for a service!  The police personnel are rude, the place was small and cramped and dark, I felt like I was being booked to be taken to jail, not getting a record to prove I have never committed any crimes!

I told hubby when I got home that he better believe I love him, because I wouldn't put up with that kind of behaviour for just anybody.  Worse now, I am going to do it twice!

And yes, you have to collect the record yourself, they don't send it to anyone anymore.  They will address it to the person you want it to go to, though.  There is a space for it on the form you fill out.

Hey everyone ..just wanted to say hi again..

OH and it doesn't bother me that I was totally ignored by KC...NOT one bit!!!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes for Monday..I can't wait to let you all know how it goes
