Im so happy my husbands visa was approved on Sept 13. I went to the interview with him and it was great we got there like at 7:30 and our interview was at 10 then they told us to return at 2:30 to pick up the visa. When we got there at 2:30 our visa was still not ready so we waited till 4:30. they asked him alot of questions but he answered them all. It was really good that i went with him because we didnt have to make the line to inter the embassy and thats why we had an early interview if not our interview would of been like at 1 or 2 and our visa wouldnt of been ready till the 14 or 17. well now all we are waiting for is for cuban immigration to say its ok for my husband to leave cuba that can take from 15-30 days depending on what siad of the bed they wake up on ( gotta love cuba )
