    Wow, if its a single visa entry everytime and you have to pay, then that would be really inconvenient. I definitely read somewhere that cubans residing in canada can get a temporary visa for the states for a certain allotted time frame. But maybe it was someone who was mistaken, or maybe it was...

    Disney is like my favorite place ever!!! (apart for cuba of course, but that opinion is a little biased... lol) I heard to go to the states you have to apply for a visa to the US, is that relatively easy to get? Then I heard once you get it you usually have a year to go in and out to the states...

    Thanks KJG!! so just to confirm, to do this, We just go to the embassy in Havana and give them an envelope with this proof, and they will put it together with the rest of our information?

    Haha... does sound like our files were similar! Probably send 2000 emails as well, but I left half of them home, because the pile was getting ridiculous! There were close to 5000 in total, so I spoke to some people who said that was a little excessive. I sent them of all time periods that weve...
