Hey Palara;

From what I have seen with past forum members experiences; Kingston VO usually calls for passport request provided that no other documents are required.

Therefore if your husband's medicals and/or PC are not expired at the time your file is ready to be finalized then they will call hubby to hand in the PP.

However if any other documents are needed like original birth certificate or new PC; you might get an e-mail and or a call to ask you to take in PP along with those documents.


So you are right tell hubby to always ensure his phone is charged and near him at all times. I do think though that they would follow-up by e-mail if they dont get you by phone; and they always send whatever they e-mail by regular post. But they dont leave messages.

Good Morning JAMFAM,

Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend.

This week was slow but still steady and rewarding as a few of our forum family received wonderful news with PPR,PP returns, and decision mades.

Still gives everyone hope of time drawing nearer to this process coming to an end; so for that we have to be thankful.

In everything give thanks; someone is always worst off and remember God is always standing by and his time is the perfect time.

Congrats again to everyone who heard good news this week.

Kingston more work to be done; PP returns are over due , PPRs are waiting and not to mention In-Process and DMs.

Hi Guys

I was just wondering how it works when they are requesting for his passport, do both parties get an email or would they mail the request to my husband address in Jamaica or do they call him, do I also get notify? I was just reviewing some of the form then I got confused...HELP :eek:
Hello there welcome. I have never gotten a call from the embassy. Everything they communicate with me is through email, however that's how we stated it on our application.

Welcome to the JAMFAM forum Chnkymnky (lol cute name)!! You have come to the right spot for support and guidance whenever we can. Would you care to share your timeline and story? When did you apply? Any questions that you may have feel free to post and someone in the JAMFAM will be happy to answer if they can. The one thing that this process has taught most of us is that "try" to be patient and that nothing is ever the same when it comes to this journey. Cheers and once again Welcome!

The problem with this process is that KGN is not consistent with what they do! I would like to point out that one forum member received a letter which took over a month to get to her for them to redo the police check even though they had asked that communication be done by email or phone. Also recall that someone had posted once that they never leave voicemail messages so definitely tell spouse to have phone charged and handy. Oh and the call come through as "private" or "unknown".

That is fantastic! Cant wait for those words to come from my mouth!

For those of you who went from In Process to Decision Made, what time does it go into Decision Made, is it anytime during the day, or is it updated by a computer overnight?
