New Cuban Immigration Procedure?

[bridget y rodolfo 0]

Hey y'all,

Thought I would share... Something I'm just dealing with now, after expecting my fiance to come in a few more weeks, is a new change in Cuban immigration. Instead of visiting the Cuban's house to potentially confiscate their house and things, they're now requiring proof of ownership of the person's house. (In our case, it's his mom's house.) Which is great that the communists are learning efficiency, but still ridiculous in their procedures. Be careful, they're telling us this will take 30 days... at each office. So if your fiance has moved fairly recently, in our case the last 2 years, they're requiring the document for current and past residences and they'll only do one at a time. (i.e. he goes to the centrohabana office, where he used to live, and waits 30 days and then goes to the Playa office, current residence, and waits 30 days). If it sounds totally ridiculous, it's because it is. we'll see how much they might accept to shorten the time...

At immigration they also tried to convince him out of the whole thing, and then to get a temporary salida instead of permanent. Can't these people just let him go????

Let me know if you've dealt with this and/or have any ideas around it.

thnx,
