There is one called Happily and Currently Married to a Cuban or something like that
Thanks for letting me know, I sat one night and read this entire thread from the beginning, it was a long night, but I couldn't help myself. I just kept reading hoping for and excited for everyone getting things accomplished. I do have to say my heart broke for you when your hubby was denied. But even though we have never spoke before, believe me when I tell you, you have good vibes coming your way from my little corner of the world. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get to the jackpot. ;D

I'm heading to see my love on the 11th of April. We aren't married, we have just been together 6 months and honestly all of this is a little daunting. I feel like even though I have never met anyone like him and would do anything to have him with me all the time, reading all the struggles makes you wonder if the cards are stacked against you before you even get the chance to see what it could be :(

Hi LioJoi.....my son used an immigration consultant but however when he filed the papers to sponsor his wife he was notified by email when he was approved as sponsor. Hr was lucky as it only took 2.5 weeks. After that he was advised via email when the file arrived in Havana for processing. That email was received December 10, 2012. She got her visa on Februrary 21, 2013. Hope that gives you an idea. Also when you check on the status of your file don't get worried as many times it is not updated. In our case nothing changed until she advised to come for her visa. Congrats on the baby...

The email of approval to sponsor was November 28th and the email to say Havana began processing was December 10th. However when it says began processing it just means it has been assigned to someone. The file could be sitting on their desk for a while but when they actually start working on it the process went fairly quickly. I know the waiting is the absolute worse.

gotcha...

I recieved approval march 7th, recieved the email that the file is in transit March15th, since then, no further updates, so I am wondering If i should email the embassy to find out if my file actually got there or just wait another week or 2....

thank you dear.. the website is really useless, they have not updated my status since a month ago...its worrysome not to know if the file has reached the VO yet...if at least I know that much, I will be more at ease, last I called CIC in mississauga which was last week they said its "in transit" so who knows...Im kind of weary of sending an email, I dont want to be too pushy !

I too am working on going to Cuba in May, hoping to get a good deal on a flight, as my budget is very tight. Trying to go around May 18 for 7 days.
