Hi Jam Fam!!!! :D

My hubby went to Kingston today at 4:30am to drop off his passport and itinerary. Although the woman he spoke to on Friday didn't tell him he needed to bring a pre-paid return envelope we wanted to make sure we dotted all of our i's and crossed all of our t's. Hubby went to DHL in SAV on Saturday only to find out that that location does not have those envelopes. He was going to go to MoBay but we decided against it and hoped/prayed that KG would tell him to come pick up his passport.

Hubby arrived in KG early and went to the High Commission and spoke to the guard. The guard was very rude and Mr. Nev said he looked right through him. The guard told him there was absolutely no drop offs on Mondays and to come back tomorrow. Mr. Nev stood his ground and said he was told to drop off his documents today. After a lengthy discussion the guard told him to come back at 1:30pm. When hubby called I could hear the discouragement in his voice. I calmly told him not to waste another second thinking about how the guard treated him. He had four hours to kill so I told him to get something to eat and to find out where the nearest DHL location was incase an envelope was requested. We talked a couple of more times and I could tell hubby was starting to feel better.

From 1:30pm to 2pm I was on pins and needles because we had no idea if he was just supposed to drop off his documents or if he had to go into the High Commission. When my phone rang and I picked it up I could feel hubby's smile across the miles.

When he went back there was a different guard and when my hubby told him what happened earlier, the guard apologized and said the guy was new and there was a mix up. He told my hubby to go inside and drop off his passport and itinerary. Mr. Nev was pretty impressed with the High Commission. He said they scanned him, took his phone, and iPod. He said a very nice white lady helped him. She had short dark hair and a nice face with some years on it! lol! He handed her his passport and itinerary and asked if there was anything else she needed. I told him to take EVERYTHING with him incase he was asked for it - original marriage certificate, original birth certificate, Schedule A, address change, etc. She told him that was all that she needed except his DHL envelope. Hubby told her he was not asked to bring an envelope and then she told him the visa officer would call him when it is time to pick up his passport/visa.

Mr. Nev is currently floating home on cloud 9!!!

So that's where things are at as of today!
:D

omg thats so exciting

The Ecas status changed not this past weekend but the one before. We used Tara not dhl
Yes I would get your hubby to contact Tara, it seems weird that two others have gotten theirs but not you......but then who knows with Kingston but at least by calling Tara you can rule out one of them!

Hi Sheri B, I need details too, ur file got transferred in January how long after January you heard from them and whats the first thing they said to u?
Sure :) I had emailed them in February I believe asking if they received my file and they said they received it and my application is in process. Nothing else after that. I received missed calls from an unknown number at the end of October so I emailed them on oct 30 asking if I should redo my meds... They never responded however two weeks after my Ecas said ... In process as of nov 4. Then I got called about two weeks after.

They didn't give him a tracking number. They told him they would call him when they would receive it. I told my husband to go and check anyways.
Call them or maybe a trip to the embassy tomorrow may help.

Thanks saskia -- you are too kind. :-*

It's hard to imagine not being on the forum on a regular basis. It has been a HUGE part of my every day life for so long now. I wonder if there's a forum anonymous I can join so I don't go through withdrawal!!!!

Nev omg I know what you mean this forum has been apart of my everyday life it will be sad to leave. We have all been through a lot and this place is what got us all through the wait. Each and everyone on this forum is very special and wonderful individuals. We will all shed tears but hope some of us will keep in touch. If it wasn't for this forum, God and you amazing people I don't know how I would get through this process. Thank you all for all the advice and support you have given me and for being there through my ups and downs.
