Yeah! They charged me 12 bucks for two of them! The guys specifically told me I cannot charge you like if you were printing 5x7 prints. So i said okay. it was that or my mom paying $25 through DHL to send me the pictures.
I would try different Walgreens! I had the same issue and went to a different Walgreens 8 blocks away and the guy was really nice and did it for me. I honestly don't understand what the big deal is. You are paying the same amount of money than if they were taking the picture for you.
Hi everyone! I finally called yesterday and now my mother has an interview date for January 27th in Havana, Cuba?
dwheels would you please update the spreadsheet with our info? Thanks!
Am I the only one who cried with joy? right after I hung up the phone with NVC I just couldn't sop crying. called my mother and we cried on the phone for about 5mins! God only knows how much my mother and I have wanted to be reunited.
Good luck to all of you guys waiting still for an interview date.
Being Cuban myself, I understand what he's going through. I came to the US when i was 15 with my father. But my mentality was to come here and work hard and go to school so i could later petition for my mother, when the time was right. I'm not bashing my own people, but a lot of us come here with the mentality of a tourist. "I'm here to travel, dress well and get everything handed to me."
It sounds like once he gets a job and is able to obtain his own money things will get better?
Also, he's very fortunate to be able to video chat with his friends 5-4 hours a day. I'm petitioning for my mother, and we only communicate through email do to the lack of funds because of her petition.
It's a culture shock. There is no such thing as sitting in a park for 4-5 hours a day chatting with your neighbors and friends. Or knocking on your neighbors door to talk, hang out and party every day.
I don't know him as a person so you could think I'm coming across as a judgmental person. But it's a shame that you have put so much into the relationship and he's being ungrateful about it. The least thing he could is thank you every day for giving him freedom. I have an uncle who just got here two months ago and I hear the same story every day, everything in the US is worse than in Cuba. i had a better life back there. Well... then just got back...
I'm sorry you are going through this and kudos to you for loving him so much to be able to put up with it.,
