Phones bills, pictures, texts etc. i was in Holguin for 3 weeks over the holidays, i gave him all of my travel docs for the year 2015 ( was in cuba 8 times), he also has our phone bills for communication, he printed 43 pictures of us (we hope this enough). Any other suggestions of what else we can provide?

Those are the great. If you have any bank statements/wire transfers I might submit those as well. Anything really that shows a continuous and ongoing relationship. Sounds to me though that you have a lot already. I wouldn't worry about that.

Soooo happy for you :)

This is the part of the email we received from Havana

At the interview, you should submit recent evidence to prove that your spousal relationship with your sponsor is genuine and still ongoing. Such evidence may include:

i. Correspondence between you and your sponsor such as: letters with their original post-marked envelopes, printouts of e-mail messages, chat records, faxes, etc. (whatever has not been submitted yet).

ii. Telephone bills indicating calls between you and your sponsor (whichever has not been submitted yet). DO NOT submit phone cards, unless accompanied by an itemized statement from the phone-card company.

iii. Photographs of you and your sponsor together, (whichever has not been submitted yet). The photographs must be printed. DO NOT bring photographs in electronic devices such as CD's or USB memories.

iv. Evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor (whatever has not been submitted yet).

v. Any other evidence that you would like the immigration officer to consider and that might be useful to demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship with your sponsor.

The day of the interview, you should arrive at least 5 min in advance. At the Immigration gate, you will explain that he has an appointment for an interview. Please remember you must bring your passport and your dependent`s passports, if applied.

Please confirm your attendance by replying to this email.

Cordially,

Immigration Section

YOUR GETTING YOUR VISA!!!!!! I got the same email almost two months ago for my husband and he got his visa that day!!!! Congrats!!!

No interview. Just make sure you have the exact photographs and both passports aren't about to expire or anything. My husband went in that day, they called his name took his passport, told him to come back at 2:30 and when he did they gave him the visa!!!

Cassidy , did you receive that email or did your spouse ? did they call or just send a email ?
Just me!! They called him a few times but he didn't answer because he didn't know who it was and he wasn't expecting them to call us after such a short time... So they sent me that exact email as well as to bring the consultlatoria for the police!

That's great!! :)

When did they contact you for the interview? Did you get a lot of notice? When are they supposed to tell you if he passed?

Sending positive vibes.....hopefully soon you'll be reunited.

I got an email 10 days before the interview (asked to present proof of ongoing relationship etc).
I'm not sure how one knows if it's a pass, but the interviewer told him that the last step in the process is to get a new police check so that should be a good indicator I guess? I wish they would tell verbally ''Yes you PASSED'' haha.
