Hey all you with Cuban SO... What is the best way to contact the USINT to find out if our petition has arrived there yet? I know they will eventually contact my fiance, but wanted to see if there is any way to speed that up. I know there is a "toll free" (though a fee for a pin #) to call and schedule appointments for a family memember. Does the USINT have an e-mail that is regularly checked? I know the local number there but do not want to pay unless it is worth it. Just wanted to check with you all who have the experience... muchas gracias!!!

Call the Department of state.

When the visa specialist answers, they will ask you the following information:

Beneficiary's Name (maybe ask for this)

You can't use the toll free line for Fiance Visas. I don't know the email address off hand but I have posted it and may have sent it to you in a PM. I have sent 2 emails. The first was answered w/in 2 days, the other took over a week. You can also fax (number is listed on the USINT website) but I have had problems sending faxes because of the problem with phone lines.

Thanks so much for your help. I will double and tripple check the PMs because I did not see it in there the first time... but do remember seeing it somewhere. Thanks again and best wishes.

For anyone who might be interested... I just went ahead and called the USINT at the number listed on their web site and had no issues getting through. I talked to a woman in Spanish but who also spoke excellent english. I set up a time for my fiance to pick up the packet this Wednesday and then will soon be able to schedule an interview. So anyone trying to get ahold of the USINT in Habana... just call them it is worth the money.
