Being with my fiance...

[rebex05 1]

Welcome Reb,

Considering that she has been with her fiance for 3 years, I think that we should all assume that she really knows how to get in and out of the country. US CubaVJers know that it's a risk, but sometimes love puts us through that. Some of us have Licenses and some of us use 3rd country's because the straight flights are only for License holding passengers

Reb as far as you quiting your job to be with him throughout the whole process...mmmmhh okay, do you have money saved up, the process on the Cuba side can be pretty pricey. The medical checkup alone is 550cuc and prices might be increasing on the carta blanca begining next year. I think that you should definently plan to be there for the interview or as soon as you know your petition is getting sent to the US interest section in Cuba. If you have money saved up and have a co-sponsor than it shouldn't be a problem...however I just don't know if it would be the best idea to quit your job unless you were studying over there because they might question you about that at the interview. I couldn't make the interview because i'm pregnant, but I think if you can make it, it would help things...however I don't think that you should quit your job (unless your job sucks and you were already going to quit it anyway) After all you guys will be spending the rest of your lives together so this time apart will be forgotten in the future. Good luck with everything!!

Thanks so much for your input. I defintely value what you have to say being that you can understand my situation a bit more, as far as country specifics. I knew that the costs can be high in Cuba, but guess I never realized the extent. I am saving what I can now, so if the chance comes to be with him during that time then I could be there. I know it would be a huge support for him and plus we have not been together for over 10 months as it is (and counting). But you gave some great advice as far as quitting my job, things that I told myself, guess I just really want to be with him... however need to think a bit more realistically and long term. Push come to shove I will most likely not go, but just wanted to see what the possibility was. As you said... love makes you do crazy things. Thanks again and best of luck in the future.
