K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNEXT STEP IN K1 PROCESS AFTER ARRIVED
maybe this is not "technical help but I offer it up. Since I just got married on June 3rd ( 2 seperate days , at the notaria , despues en La Maison , ( casa de matrimonios) Enjoy your partner and be as calm as possible, take pictures of all of your documents and try to stay in a good mood no matter what . It is a time of stress and that can be unfortunate at a time when you both need to be patient and loving. Nothing could have been as insane as some of what we went through in first the US then Cuba to be married and then to register the marriage, which after 5 trips to various places alllwrong, we found was unneccesary! we got tired out and hot and thank god for the love we have. So, maybe one thing, to be fair you have time between your weddings, if you can think of any things that you need help with, make sure to get it. and meet with the priest enoughto have no surprises, if language is a problem, find a wonderful person to translate. I was with only Cubanos at my ceremony and boda, I wished I had had a closer girl friend there, it is alot to process between the partners, and the entire issue of the immigration is full of weight. Breath deeply, you are so lucky!
Wishing you all the best,
Juana y My far away esposo, Aldeki

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWow are we APPROVED??! K1 November Vermont!
I am so happy for you!!! Now I will hope you can clue me in how you did it so fast ! you lucky duck!
We received a NOA1 for our 129-f (already married there) this morning also. had gotten one for our I-130 back in January and Iwas wondering which will be dealt with first. since the second package had more complete documents i want them to be used to support the first! I called to correct Aldeki's name and asked a few questions ... After being told the estimate of 6 ughghghgh more months I felt down , especially since I have already been so worried about the upcoming support afadavit, being self employed and having had my taxes in past attached to my ex husband, woe woe whoaaa! anyway, Since Cuba is a country that is dang hard to mail packages of important papers too, I have lots on my mind.
SO < reading about other folks arriving at the point of true success makes me jump up and be elated!! hooray. ahora, buen suerte para ti! I read your post and my day changed. well that's all I wanted to say,
in fact good luck to alllllll of us, we deserve a great year... star_smile.gif peace to all, Juana

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescase completed june 26 when will we get our interview date??? (cuba)
This has been such ......... what an endurance match! wacko.gif anyway We were told our case was found complete , but have not heard any thing since then , and that if it was sent to the consulate by the 2nd week of July there was scheduling for the next month then.. So can he go ahead and have his medical , should we use one of the NOA 1 letters saying we were approved for the I130? We haven't heard anything more about the 129 we filed. so now what? do I call the NVC again? I've emailed twice asking if there's a possibility he could be here in time to start at the University he was asked to work at.... and ... does blink.gif blink.gif any body have any experience getting an exit permit quickly after all the other? Could the Ministereo de Cultura help us?? thank you!! feeling stretched out and wanting to be with my husband...... Juana

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHOW MUCH $ IS THE EXIT PERMIT ?
QUOTE (EdwinandMary @ Aug 6 2009, 09:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I just purchaase a ticket from Camaguey to Miami (one way) and it was 287cuc with aeroazul. flying from havana is a bit cheaper. You can also used the airline skyking to fly out of Cuba to Maimi, but the price is the same. the purchase must be in cuba, and needed to before the carta blanca is given. I'm not sure whats the cost with the carta blanca as of now. hope this helps.

thank you for that info, I am going right before the interview with the hope that i we can get the visa and carta blanca in time for him to come home with me, but it impossible to plan cause of course you never know!! but it would be so great and also very helpful as together travel would be a dream seperately ehh not so much... any way again thanks, do you know anyone who books aeroazul or skyking from here for me?? probably well endup flying seperate but I hope not..

My husband went to the hospital in Boyeros and they could only give him a date of Sept 18, our interview is on the 24th. they said they werenot making appointments this month and that was the earliest he could have... AND somebody help me here, I have tried to send the appointment letter to him so he can print it to have and bring to hospital ( first) but it is a PDF file and correo de cuba cannot read... How can I turn it into a JPG file? or send it to his email so it is printable exactly as it is? I have not been able to copy it to send at all, it comes out as encoded text or something... please anybody who can tell me anything about the medical and also how to get this document printable for him please lemme know thank you.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCuban Fiancee
Hi, I'm in this big time right now too, we are sending our afacavit of support tommorow i hope and going on thru the gauntlet of steps.. i will tell ytou right now, do a fiancee visa it is actually faster and much much less expensive!I KNOW!!! as much as I loved my marriage in Cuba hat ai had tyo go through and pay thru the nose for was outrageous and difficult, we are so lucky that the new laws will make it batter to travel as of now you cannot be prosecuted for cuba travel , no federal $ can be spent on it, so one stone at a time the wall is coming down. I can tell you the base fees and hassle alone would floor you. as someone else here said to late for me to know " save the money and buy a good ( Mac ) laptop!you'l need it. seriously, the K-3 is easier. maybe not so fast but nothing is .. I am in bliss thinking that star_smile.gif Aldeki may actually be here soon, of course I will needto go back to bring the papers, and have our anniversary but any way. feel free to email me, i answer when i can, and I' d love to have someone to talk with about this, it is tough to be doing it without any good cuban friends around who know the real answers, this forum is a lifesaver and such a a good thing.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresillegal Cuban travel related to visa approval?
do not worry one tiny bit!! The US interviewer at the Cuban Interest Section will say right to you, " hello, are you a US citizen?, don't worry, we are not the police, we do not care how you got here!" FOR ME I TOLD THEM I HAD A LICENSE, as I do and have had but not always , and they could not have cared less. believe me , I have had to go there to get a new passport when mine was stolen last December, I was much more worried then, and now,,, nothing. I will tell you that if you are traveling thru a gateway country Its soooooo much cheaper and much easier than going thru Miami with a license!! MIAMIsucks, and I spent 1+1/2 hours detained in immigration wi other cubans wi resident cards, I'll take cancun or Nassau or jamaica any day faster cheaper nicer. Most important thing, answer the questions about your relationship well and with good thought, and have evidence of all important aspects(support). Make sure the questions they ask about the cuban 5 and communist youth org are answered as NOOOO!!!!! I don't know and NO I was not and am not a member. I watched multiple denials of all sorts of cubans in my many hours wait. lots of reasons but those were the consistent trippers also. usually the reason was not a believable plan for living in the US and enough support... children were often a factor. sad.sad.
BUT I AM HAPPPPPPPPY< MY HUSBAND ARRIVES WEDNESDAY! we are going to celebrate for the rest of our lives. Buena Suerte , cuidate, Juana
