Just crazy! I don't even understand how they can screw it up so badly! The inland applications and outland applications don't even go to the same address!! At least now it's only 10 days away, that is great news. :)

Good News: We are all one day closer to having our loved one with us! Every day is one day closer :) :) :) :) :) :)

So happy to hear that he received encouraging words... it is a stressful time, and that encouragement means a lot. I know my husband is so nervous for the interview. We are hoping that it gets waived. P.S. thank you for your kind words and understanding. Not many people can understand how...

thank you so much for your kind words and understanding.

They charge. It was 405CUC for adults and 205CUC for children under 12 (I think 12 is the cutoff). This needs to be paid at a specific bank in Havana prior to going to the exam (the day before).

Thanks again for your update... I am (excessively) checking ECAS for an update, and knowing that you've actually reached 'decision made' without the status changing also makes me feel sooo much better about the fact that I have seen no change on ECAS in months! I am so excited for you both and...

Yes, SA is sponsor approval.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so exciting, and definitely gives the rest of us hope to see that things are moving. Thank you so much for your update! Had you been checking the status on ECAS? I'm just wondering when (if) you saw your application "in process". What a GREAT early...

Here is the July spreadsheet. You can add your info to it. JULY 2014 OUTLAND THREAD - http://tinyurl.com/lcfgjmy

How long ago was it that your friend went though this process? I know that there was a time (applications submitted late 2013) that they were making it through very quickly. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be the case now, but hopefully that will change and we will all get approved VERY...

I'm not sure, but I do know that the RPRF needs to be paid before they look at your application now, as it is non-refundable at this point. (once the SA is approved). According to everything I read, it suggested paying it up front to avoid delays, so that is what I did... I have had zero...

I'm pretty close to doing the same. Did you need a signed form from your husband to allow the request?

Same thing here, but still no medicals received. Just Application Received, and 'We received your application for permanent residence on July 16, 2014. Almost 4 months of looking almost everyday seeing the exact same things :( Although, realistically, I don't expect to see anything until...

Thank you for the reply MrsTrejo. Everything that I saw about police certificates on the immigration site did not refer to the expiry date (6 months from issue), but rather that the certificate as not older than 3 months when the application is received. It's pretty much impossible for the PC...

Does anyone know of, or heard of, a spouse being contacted by a previous employer as part of the immigration process? I'm thinking that the telegram my husband got is unrelated, but not sure. He quit his job at the resort before we were married (not allowed being married to a tourist), and now...

Interesting, because on the official cuban embassy website, it's 30 days. That is also an old visa, as they stopped asking for address/hotel info a while ago. http://www.cubadiplomatica.cu/canada/EN/ConsularServices.aspx#TouristCard

According to the cuban embassy website, the visitors visa is 30 days, and can be re-newed at the hotel or immigration office for another 30 days. As for staying at your husband's house, this needs to be done through the government with a Family Visa (A-2). You can not just stay at his place...

The prices for the consular fee: Application $40.00 CAD Granting $88.00 CAD Here is the form http://www.cubadiplomatica.cu/Portals/23/forms_english/perscard.pdf

Here is what I found: The spouses and children of Cuban citizens holding any other nationality who travel to Cuba and wish to stay at the home of their Cuban relatives must present their Passport and the document attesting to their kinship. 1. Valid Passport. 2. One photo. 3. Form. 4. Photocopy...

Congrats!!! That is really fast!! If only the Havana office was a quick :( Not a peep since Aug when they sent AOR2. Going with the assumption "no new is good news" until DM LOL!!!
