Paperwork help in Havana ?

[Ide & Sam 1]

My fiance told me today that he met a women at the US embassy who offered to help him fill out all his papers and get everything ready for the interview. Has anyone else done this and do you think these people are reliable ? I can understand him wanting assistance Packet 3 is pretty confusing and I feel bad that I'm not there to talk him through it. So, has anyone else had experience with this ?

I would be careful doing that, because everything you need to know is on the website, so she could just trying to take his money, or take your man.

Haha...i'm not worried about her taking my man...i'm a little worried about her taking our money But it's only 25 bucks so I'm not that concerned. I just want to make sure that she is going to give him good advice. Cuba has crappy internet so he can't look anything up online.

I had no problem. I paid 10cuc...It was some lady that lives in some apartment near the embassy..

I went with my fiance in April, she did not even take an hour to have them done..If you

need the number let me know she was very nice and polite....

I’d suggest he scan, and email you packet 3 from a hotel or something, and then you can fill everything out since you will have to provide him with a bunch of other information as well at some point before the interview. I just felt more comfortable doing this to be sure everything would be consistent with the original I-129F petition. That would be my main concern, not their integrity, because I'm sure he'd be right there with the person filling it out.

That being said, my fiancé did use a person outside the Cuban immigration office to help fill out her passport application form for a few CUC, as it was very confusing for both of us, and everything turned out well with that service.

Cool. I might just ask him to scan and email the forms to me (or send copies here with a friend) after she helps him fill it all out so I can make sure everything is consistent. He has a copy of the original petition (I-129F) so they should be able to compare all the forms. I am going down there a week before our interview, so if anything is messed up I can double check it all before we go in for the interview. The lady he is talking to seems helpful, he already met with her once.

Thanks !!!

Hi, I was wondering what you ended up doing with the forms, if you got a scanned copy via email. Maybe I should/will start a new thread, because although my post is about the paperwork in Havana, it is somewhat off-topic. Anyway, the reason I ask is that my fiancée lives in Santiago de Cuba, so instead of going all the way to Havana to pick up the packet, we just got "all" the forms and info from the web sites. (She has free email and internet access because she works as an editor for a web site, so it was relatively easy for me to email her everything as attachments.) I read some posts here from previous K-1 visa couples in which it was stated that everything in the packet you pick up in Havana can be downloaded. I don't remember how old the posts were, however, which is why I wrote "all", because perhaps this is no longer the case. If you know, or if anyone else recently picked up the packet, would you mind posting a description of exactly what it contained and if there is anything that needs to be turned in prior to the interview? Is there anything we need or need to do that is mentioned in the packet but not on the following web page? http://havana.usint.gov/family_based_immigrants.html Thanks in advance!

If nobody else replies I can try asking my fiance exactly what is in the packet. But I think there are other VJ members who have seen the packet and might be able to answer your question better. I would post a new topic so more people can see your question.

Ok, thanks. And yes, I think you're right, I'll post it as a new topic. Thanks again.
