Yes, I am fully aware of this, but I would like to see if anyone here had the contact info for the panel physician in order to have all the info beforehand.
There is only one panel physician in Cuba. They only take new appoints on Fridays and the line is super, super busy. You've got to keep dialing back until you get lucky. It's normally a 2-3 week lead time for your appointment. It'll be two days.

Wow we are so eager of that moment!!!
I know, the wait is awful and frustrating. Did you receive your notes yet? I requested mine back in june and still didnt get them...they said they needed an additional 60 days to process.The whole thing takes so long and puts such stress on a new marriage.I hope you get that email very soon, but in the meantime it couldnt hurry to email them to see if anything else is requried...any contact or update always made me feel beeter...best of luck

Yes I order the notes nothing yet... yes I write to them today no answer yet... the horrible waiting hard on the emotions and a lot of stress at the beginning of a relationship... thanks and wish you all the best!!!

And the reason that let them think that you think? That's totally crazy!!!

We suspect that it was that I am 13 years older then my husband. I had been divorced for 25 years when I met him in 2010. We were not in a romantic relationship until 2013. Who would know for sure I know several women who have been denied since us that are older. Pretty hard to prove age discrimination. It took less then 20 minutes at ADR for the Immigration and C BSA to say you have won that included them leaving and writing up the approval as well as explaining what the next steps would be. This via teleconference.

That's totally crazy!!! You are very strong!!! Congrats again and enjoy your moment now!!! Wish you all the Best!!! I know someone who have his visa in 5 months and he became violent over here no more than 3 months and separate now... no difference in age... I think they don't know how to make the profilage...
