Hopefully he gets that soon! Fingers crossed for you! Nothing from Bogota yet. Just got our GCMS notes today, and everything except the medical says not started. But at least we know its there, and my wife passed the medicals. I'm thinking about hopping on the donkey and galloping on down to good old Bogota to find out whats happening!!!

no I don't think so....it said on the website as long as they go to a pick-up location with their id card it will be fine.....I will find out tomorrow and let you know.....well the Carribean Transfer site is down because they have been caught in a big money laundering scheme by defrauding the USA medi system......by putting through false claims and sending the money to a Cuban account...so right now the system is frozen and that is why even duales has to do home delivery...the both use Lemargo for their transactions and until that part of Caribbean Transfers is cleared everything is frozen...... bad bad timing..especially now since the hurricane and trying to get monies to families down there..... :-[
ohhh man so that is what is going on....awful. let me know please. I really apprecaite it!

Serious suspense you have us on, K...
I would flash a nice crisp 10 CUC note at the clerk to see if that motivates him/her to find it quicker!.
You must be very excited to see the end of the tunnel is at your fingertips just as we were when I finally landed myself!.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you today!

well, soon you'll have sex to relieve some of that stress!!...............

I had an agrument with the hubby tonight, wish he was here so I could make him sleep on a couch LOL...... it's nothing serious, just feeling cranky at him for missing him, if that makes sense.
:(

Funny bout the couch thing...but not so funny bout the fight. Last thing you need is the added stress

Hey everyone!

Just reached two months since transfer date today! Time flies, even though it feels like every day lasts forever on its own.. weird. I'm seriously hoping to hear something from them in the next 2 weeks or so!

KJG--hubby is going tomo to check on PRE right? Keep us posted on that! Hopefully you'll get it then and wont have to play another week of this seemingly endless waiting game!

Sassy, hope your feeling good and well with baby :)

LuvCuba- any news? did you send the docs they wanted?

Wishing Shuster gets that news shes been waiting for while she's with hubby!

Everyone else happy waiting! I swear, we should all get patience awards after all this.... lol

I'm thinking of sending out for GCMS notes tomo or thursday. I'm nervous if we get called for an interview and they only give us two or three weeks i wont have time to order them so id rather be safe than sorry and see where my file is now anyways. Anyone who'd done this: I need hubby to sign for this right? Whats the best way to do it? Im thinking ill email it to him, he can get it printed, sign it, he can scan it back to me, then ill do the rest of it and scan it and send it back to them? is that the best way?


Thanks ladies, and a happy Tuesday night to you all! ;)
Good Morning Avana...Happy Halloween everyone!

We are doing well thanks :)

Nice of you to send a shout out to everyone! Good luck with the ordering of the notes!!! It will give you something to anticipate...and distract from the the interview/no interview wait : )

I just emailed Julieta...like ai said she is super fast. I asked if for the first transfer can my husband just go in with his account # and Id to pick up funds. She replied no, he has to wait for the 15 days for the card and only with the card can he pick up the funds. : (

Hi again :)

I forgot to ask how can I access the spreadsheet with the time data? I can't help to wonder how waiting times look like.

I hope to submit soon, in a week approx. And my husband was told today by the people who translate documents in Cuba (ESTI?) that they don't provide affidavits, which are required as per the sponsorship guide. Did you guys also failed to submit affidavits from the translator in Cuba?

And thank you :D
Did you get it? If not here you go ;D

well that sucks and that is not what it states on their website.....grrrrr......the last time I have to send money to Cuba and I am going to get ripped off......$30 fee here for the bank and then whatever they decided to charge my husband their for the service fee........well I guess I am going to have to suck it up and go to the bank :'(
