Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all have holidays until July 30th too?

Hopefully CPC-M and CPC-O will keep churning out stage 1 approvals in the meantime. Still waiting on sponsorship approval :(

I've heard nothing :( I have to say, this whole process is very disheartening. Good for June applicants who are getting speedy approvals, but so frustrating for us April and May applicants who are still waiting. I know this happened to Feb/March applicants too. I'm sure we all have extra grey hairs because of it :(

And thanks for the support KJG. I don't expect anything today, but am really hoping to have sponsorship approval by August 15, 2012.

I am trying to buck up for the weekend. I've got a phone date with the esposo ;D

Buenas Dias ladies.

Not sure if you all noticed or have had problems, but a lot of text messages are not being received/sent.
Also, Internet usage has been blocked a lot.
Has to do with the 26th celebrations as well as the death, suspected murder of a dissident and then the arrest of many others at his funeral.
Hubby has not received any of my messages in the last 2 days, tried texting the FIL, and cousins but nobody is receiving, few Cubans I know here have said the same

Looks like cubacel flicked the switch off like they did when the pope was there.

yes I am going through email withdrawls shuster2210......email place has been closed down since Tuesday for the holiday and not re-opening until Saturday...at least in Matanzas.....
I have been receiving texts...got one on Wed for my b-day and one last night...but again maybe because it is in Matanzas and they have only blocked Havana this time......grrrr....so frustrating that they think they can keep the world from knowing what is going on.....

I've received most of his texts, but he has been receiving mine sporadically. He didn't get one I sent him yesterday.
