Copy of passport page, beneficiary contact website, and parole for family members

[Ale y Jessica 0]

Hello all,

A few questions...

I was wondering, particularly from my fellow Cuba filers, if we must turn in a copy of all the pages of the beneficiary's passport, or just the page with the photo and birthdate, expiration date and such.

Also, I received in my instruction packet a page instructing me to visit the website of the Havana US interests section to provide my beneficiary's contact info (address and phone number). I went to the website they gave (http://havana.usinterestsection.gov/family_based_immigrants.html) and I don't see any "short online form". Does anyone know where I can find it?

ONE LAST THING: Does anyone know anything about the Parole Requests for Family members? Have any of the Cuba filers ever done this? Is it difficult? It seems to me like we could get his mother to come over here as a part of this program.

Thank you all so so much!

Below is the phone number I think your looking for: I found it at the very bottom of the webpage right after the requesting parole section:

(53)(7) 834-4400 (Monday-Friday), 8:00 AM-4:30 PM

But the number i used to check the status of my case was different, the number i got was from the NVC, (53) (7)8333551, maybe because i'm filing a K-1 visa the telephone number is diferent from yours...not sure?

Just a bit of advice - I found that i was treated great when i spoke english and told them i was american. My girlfriend tried to call and they treated her so bad, they told here this number is not for Cubans and told here not to call back, just reminded me how the things are in Cuba.....hope this helps....

When they ask for a copy of the passport, they mean the biometrics page that shows the name and a picture.

I looked all over that site and could find nothing about how to sFor questions concerning a specific immigrant visa case, please contact the Consular Information Unit at (53) (7) 834-4400. ubmit the info they want by web form or e-mail. I did find the phone number of the visa section

Another section said they weren't accepting applications for paroles at this time
