Yes you are right, I am freaking. LOL... ahhhhhhhhhhhh... I have my December ticket to go, not to come back. I have a feeling hes going to be on the new system.....but will have the money to be on the safe side. I don't know what I have to pay for the daughter... I must find this out. I want to sell stuff but he tells me not to. He feels so bad he can't help me, and I know he will work day and night to help me out of all the mess I created finanically. I lost my job over the summer ladies bc I had a manager that wanted me to quit my first job that I had for 2 years, but she was pissed I travelled all the time and wasn't "available" so she let me go at end of probation. I ended up resigning rather than be fired. Then the first job I refused to quit, was not allowed to book me in the hospital anymore, so i started working for 8 dollars less an hour doing home care. But i picked up VON flu clinics till end of November. I worry I wont make enough money... So, I thought I would go back to school and take courses online so i used my last 5 grand in credit to pay off loans and bring them to date to qualify for a loan pay back the credit, have the money to finish this app and finish my BA in Soc. then found out i had a loan from rbc (bank risk portion) that i never knew about and was sitting in collections. its 15 grand i have to pay or settle to get my new student loans. So this is where I'm at...all for love !!! I should have just taken the 5 grand and went to cuba... so that's what my funk was all over.
Hey DDG...did you get my PM? I just sent you a reply....but it is not showing in my outbox?!? Grrr :)

oiii! lol Ok so you think we should put in the date you actually received the notice? Or the day they acknowledge receiving it. Which date would be most helpful to others?

Good Day Everyone.

I took off last night and caught up on Grey's and Dexter..lol I needed to take my mind off all this. I needed to RELAX haha. I have had a good day though. Mind is in the right place. Sass, your PM helped, thanks for that. It great we all can empathize with eachother and get through this together. I'm so upset that I didn't pay that fee. So scared that they will pull the file if I send something (receipt) I'm thinking of holding onto it, until they call for interview. What do you think? I could provide it then and then they have a month to confirm it's paid if thats what they do.....

Found out more details about my friends parents.... 2 men and a woman. There was a safe in their living room, that had nothing in it really but documents was what they were after. They were tortured and beaten. The father lived bc he played dead, and he remembers them saying "lets go the old man is dead" I just can't believe this.... makes me realize that in wake of this attack and the damage to ppl's lives by this storm, that I am very lucky and fortunate my family are safe. Money is money right... I guess what's happened this week has helped to put things to perspective and be grateful.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Really sunny today on the coast. Warm, and flowers are still blooming. Calm before the storm? KJG ... way to go on the decorating, I can't get motivated enough to put clothes in the washer...lol I've turned up some Cuban music too and it's helped!!

hello everyone; I've been MIA. I received an email questioning me on the one concern and that my husband said I knew everything about it. I responded being honest; now I'm worrying I gave too much info. Won't relax until the visa is in his hand. Spoke to hubby again this morning (another 45 mins; can't wait to get this month's bill LOL) I think I'm driving him soooo crazy. Officer did say everything is fine; just need the one piece of paper to prove something. Hopefully this week. She gave back all the cards, phone bills, pictures so I guess this is good. Who knows maybe my email will reassure them I knew. He's mad at immigration cuz they feel he was lying and that I didn't know. It's nothing criminal; just something that happened during the beginning of our relationship. He was honest and told me. When we met we had fun; we both never thought that 4 years later we be married. 2009 is when we committed ourselves to each other. First two years I was still married; living in the same house as my husband. The marriage was struggling; we were friends; but I was chicken sh*t to end it.


I've been second guessing everything this weekend; I'm driving myself crazy along with my friends. I guess we all have these days where everything seems impossible.

Great job on spreadsheet Sassy; please add my info. File transfer was July 31 according to the letter (AOR) i received Oct

Still in PJ's; going to veg and read. Hopefully the tears will stop.

Have a great day xoxo

Luvcuba.....stop fretting...if they gave you all that stuff back the visa will be in his hands soon.......if there was an inkling that there might be a refusal or a change of mind on their part they would not have given him any evidence....they need that for an appeal if you are denied and appeal the decision...so take that as a very very good sign. I know it is hard. I am keeping my self super busy this weekend...I am totally stressing about the PRE...what if we don't get it in time....I am having a hard time trusting the cuban government to be as good as their word.....I am dying for the 31st to come so Yoani can go and check what is going on.

You are probably suffering from emotional exhaustion because of all this but honestly Luvcuba....they would not give him a scrap of paper back if they were going to deny him the visa......and I know this because the two people I know who have been denied (one being my best friend) is that they were told no at the interview and they weren't given back anything...nada.....so try and be positive.....it will be fine :)
