It is true that the phone is rarely ever answered. I called for months before a female answered. I was ready to send of my passport but now I am worried about sending it to this location.

I wish I could give 0 stars for this embassy in Washington DC. Good luck to you if you submitted your application here or if u are thinking of submitting your application here... DONT DO IT. If u have a family member in Jamaica... u are 100% lucky. I waited 3 years to get my passport and until this day I still haven't gotten my passport from the Washington DC Jamaican Embassy.... But guess what, I'm lucky to have my nice nice cousin in JAMAICA to finish the process for me, plus I had to pay $150 US more to complete the process... Plus u know I have to make sure my nice nice cousin alright. So for this whole process, I probably spent close to $500 US. My case was a little special tho... But any way DONT DO IT. U WILL NEVER GET UR PASSPORT From This Jamaican Embassy!!!!!!!!!!

They never answer the phone. Passport takes 11+ months to get. Could've flown to Jamaica to renew my passport if it was going to take this long

Yes you do! Your Jamaican passport verifies your Jamaican citizenship. Your permanent resident card verifies status as a legal immigrant to USCIS.

Can I apply for a replacement green card online mine's is currently 32 years old that is a little beating up with no expiration date

Wayne Rodney | Oct 13, 2019
Ann W | Oct 13, 2019

The Embassy of Jamaica is a representation of the Jamaican Government. It renders services on behalf of its citizens living in the US (e.g. passport renewal) as well as performs diplomatic functions for the Jamaican political administration in areas as Trade and Tourism. Please visit their website at embassyofjamaica.gov. It is NOT a US consulate That's the job of the USCIS. Go see them at www.uscis.gov. And for the record, NO ONE holds a US green card for 32 years! NO ONE!
