you don't see how you came across as rude, insensitive amongst other things. Yes, I'm stressed because I'm sure you can relate to the process. I don't think people are here to get 'reality checks' but more information on how it works.

The same way you interpreted my response as rude and insensitive, I in turn interpreted your initial repeat polling for feedback (amargo having already given you an accurate response) as dismissive and obtuse, to say the least, and gave you honest additional feedback, which YOU again solicited.

Your response would have been great , if you erased "deep breath" and "panic".

You described your state as "extremely confused and annoyed" (your words, not mine) so I don't see how my using of the word panic or suggesting deep breaths isn't relevant.

And about your apology you and I both know that it's your way of patronizing. It's not sincere because you could have said it through private message and not post it here, to make it seem as if it is sincere.

it's interesting that you suggest private messaging, as I've gotten 3 of them from other members since responding to you, and all were actually supportive of what i wrote.

Just a reminder, this visa forum to is help people with questions and support one another as we are all going through or have gone through the process.

Your tone reminded me of posts on Cubaamor. Gracias

I'm not familiar with this forum (?) but i've seen it mentioned here before, and it appears to be a place for scorned lovers to share their tales of woe, I assure you that is neither my case nor intent, I did actually reply just trying to help, but like the line goes, some men you just can't reach.. Nevertheless, no hard feelings, suerte compañero/a..

I along with some others would be considered veterans of this group...

I am speaking for myself when I say, i stay connected to help people not to argue, fight and tell people to calm down. With that being said... I prolly speak for many when i say.... If u cant seeem to remember what it eas like for u when u were in the process and dont have empathy. Stay logged offf. If your going to be rude and insulting stay offline. This page is not meant for that. Nor do i continue to log oon over a year after the fact to read posts thay have nothing encouraging or helpful to say. Lets stay on focus. Helping people.

If ur not hear to be helped or to help. Stay OFF LINE.
 
Hello,

I was wondering, during the interview, is there a translator in the room or does the visa officer know Spanish?

Most of the staff is Cuban. Plus if you put in your application that you communicate in Spanish then they would have to do it in Spanish. Unless you put down that u two communicate in English with eachother then I'm guessing that it may become a problem if they go to do the interview and they find out that that's not true
 
I am not sure if I am going to post this right, so excuse this comment if it on someone's post. I just want to start a new discussion. I was wondering if anyone else in the group filed in November and is still waiting. I noticed that there were a couple, but the spouses are now in Canada. Thanks. ::)
 
Ours has been in Havana since Dec 14
