The beneficiary is Cuban -- nothing new here, a less than 30 day approval is not unusual for a Cuban beneficiary.

I really don't understand the priority treatment for Cubans, but I have read this a few times. Is there some specific reason?

Just so everyone is aware, while your stuff ends up in a box, the processors are working off an electronic image, which is why you file with a paperwork reduction notice. That is why everything gets sent to a lockbox in Texas, it's all about automation. I managed a lockbox at one point, and when I got my package back due to the wrong check amount I noticed the scanner tracking numbers on each page. That is also probably why they want you to send things back with the green sheet so it gets back in the proper que.
