I-129F - Cuba HELP!

[Tyshepp 0]

My fiance and I are finally taking the steps to apply for a K-1 visa. Though I'm excited about the possibility of finally being in the same country, this process seems so overwhelming!

My question is, how am I supposed to gather my fiance's supporting documents for the I-129F petition? Such as a passport style photo, intent to marry? I was just in Cuba visiting him, but of course I wasn't thinking and I didn't check the specifics of what's required before my visit. So for those who've successfully arranged the packet, how did you guys get these things? I can't even imagine the wait time for trying to send stuff back and forth via mail. Please help!! Thanks.

We did mail...Dubai to America....3-4 day wait. Cuba is right next to the USA...should be no problem.

i had an electronic copy of my husband's passport photo that i printed at a local store. i did have his original signature on the letter of intent - I got that on one of my trips to Cuba. Do you know anyone who will be traveling between Cuba and the US in the near future? If so, maybe you can arrange them to bring back the items you need. There are also carrier services out of Miami, Florida that will take things to Cuba for you. We sent a phone to my mother-in-law a few months back using one of these companies and paid about $30-40 for the delivery.

I emailed the letter document for my fiance to print, sign, and then send to me via dhl. it's a little expensive, but it worked. from Havana it's probably a week or a little more to receive documents from Cuba. from other locales in Cuba, it will be an extra week, as they have to send your package to havana, which can take a while, and then the normal send time from Havana.
