Hi Miriam,

This is only my opinion and maybe someone else has different thoughts, but I don't see why it would raise any questions at the POE if he came via Cancun, particularly since it's a lot easier to arrange for flights from Havana to Cancun to Miami then it is to arrange one directly from Havana to Miami. Mexicana has direct flights from Havana to Cancun and has e-tickets, so you should just be able to buy an e-ticket on their website and list Alain as the passenger. http://www.mexicana.com

I am sure he would need to get a tourist visa from the Mexican consulate, but I'm not sure how easy or difficult that would be.

I take it you can't go to Havana yourself to get him because of this stupid 3-year rule?

I know that one of the Cuban posters did that exact thing... flew threw Mexico. My thought is that if it is just a layover flight of less than 24 hours there would be no need of a visa from Mexico. I will try and remeber who it was that did exactly what you are asking... maybe I will pm you with that. Oh... and off the subject. Is there absolutely no rum or cigar allowed into the US, or do you know if maybe there is a small limit that could be brougth in? I know I asked before but wanted to double check. Thanks!!!

There is a small amount that you are allowed but thats for people traveling with a licence. I dont know if people migrating here are allowed to do the same another thing is. Im not sure if its allowed because customs lets it slide by or because its really legal eather way i wouldnt risk it. Its really not worth it I have brought rum from cuba but I siad I was coming from cancun and i think that they didnt ask me about it because it wasnt Havana Club it was Mulata so i think that Customs didnt notice that it was Cuban rum. Now my grandmother came from cuba and she had about 3 packs of cigarets not even cigars and they confiscated them. So all im saying is dont risk it

Yes Yes you can travel through cancun, my husband did that however I must say that if he's alone (and even probably with you) the mexican police will have to follow his every move. They even escorted my husband to the bathroom :wacko: He was only there for 7 hours and then he arrived at our POE in LAX on a straight flight. I wouldn'r risk cigars through Mexico..they only allow one box and they will definently check you when you arrive at LAX. you can email me directly if you have any questions...sorry i've been away so much from the computer to help my fellow cuba visa out...my daughter is just so much work for the tow of us :dance:

take care
