Airport Information?

[Sweetness]

You guys are GREAT thank you so much for the information.

kim&betty - it is a fiancee visa. Me and my Jamaican sweetie have been together for five years and finally processing a K-1 visa for him. That will allow him to come to the US and we must marry within 90 days. (lots of time, paperwork, money and patience involved). The interview will be in Kingston.

This link has great information on VISITOR visas. I too have a youth that I have watched grow up that I would love to give the opportunity to visit me (he is 18) - I hope to look into if that is possible in the future.

Great advice so far from everyone. I have flown to/from Kingston twice and it was a breeze, except for when we were trying to get the last flight out before tropical storm Nichole hit.

If you need a place to stay, PM me. I know a place that is within walking distance (10 min walk) to the embassy and is pretty cheap for Kingston. Also, I remember someone on the board mentioning that they got a great deal through priceline for the Wyndham in New Kingston for around $70 per night I think. But, if you stayed in New Kingston you would probably want to taxi to the embassy because it would be about a 30 minute walk.

I also want to wish you the best of luck with the visa. We adopted our son from Jamaica and the visa process was pretty crazy. I'm not sure what the process is for a K-1 visa, but be sure to print out and cross check all of the information from the USCIS, Department of State, and the Kingston Embassy website. The reason I say this is because when we arrived at the embassy to proceed with our son's visa processing they looked at us like we had two heads and told us that we were not following their procedure. We then proceeded to pull out a printed copy of the visa procedure instructions for Jamaica from the Dept of State website that had a date stamp at the bottom showing it was current. They then told us that the instructions listed were not correct, but that they would follow them (to our reliefe) and process his visa. So, if the instructions from any of the websites vary and list something that would be in your favor, I suggest you show them the documentation and use it to your advantage. Also, you MUST leave any cell phone, mp3, camera, etc in your room before you go to the embassy. The security is pretty tight (think tsa screening) and will not let you enter the embassy if you have any of these items on you.

Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your trip to Kingston!!!
