I have had a number of issues with Rogers - the problem with SMS not getting through started in June 2013... Rogers wanted to blame Cubacell, I was very persistent and kept records of who I had spoken with. I have had monthly issues with Rogers and each time I call them and keep track of who I speak with; I even have the email of one of the business managers. This time I also went to Apple, had a diagnostic run on my phone and the folks at Apple switched my SIM card. I again called Rogers with all the information, I think I lucked out with the customer service person I spoke with and there is a big file about the issues. I make it easy for the. Now and tell them they will be crediting me for all calls made to my husband until the issue is resolved.
Good luck and thank you for the advice/info.
Cubacel has been known to block numbers that frequently send high amounts of text messages to their mobile clients, it is an "anti-spam" procedure that they do..... I was blocked as well last week, it lasts 7-10 days.... you get used to it...

Is it normal I did not receive an AOR from Havana VO? My SA was approved early January. Patrichan, have you received yours?

Let's hope March is a good month for all.

I was just checking in on everyone! I found for a while I was checking like a mad woman so had to step away a bit! Not checking near as much now.

I had a wonderful week early February with hubby! Just what the doctor ordered. Sure wish Havana VO could speed up just a little.

My husband knows a guy who applied in October and got his visa in February. Good news!!

Hope everyone is well!

PatriChan, you can click the Notify button and a email notification will be sent to you when a new entry is made.

I have news in regards to AOR's. Apparently they don't send them anymore so no worries but you did receive one. I am told we can email to ask for one. I did and awaiting.

I was also in Havana in Feb, got my batteries charged and I am so happy.

Does anyone know of any Canadians that have applied for a visitor visa for their spouse while waiting on their paperwork?
Thanks for any responses.
