Hi there, that’s what I keep reading.  Scotiabank is in Guyana... I find it impossible to believe that he has to fly from Cuba to Guyana to deposit money to a bank and then go back to Guyana for an interview. 

P3 letter with instructions for Guyana

Here is the information that one of my friends gave me, who already did the interview in Guyana on June 26, 2018. There is this Cuban company in Guyana that can help you in transportation to move around Guyana without the need to use taxis and they will pick you up at the airport and take you back. They will also take you and bring you to the interview, to collect the visa passport, to the medical check-up and to collect the results of the medical check-up.
The company is called toma 1 travel the email is toma1oferta@gmail.com  and its website is www.toma1oferta.com. The contact number to reach them is + 592-680-8487 and you can reach them in WhatsApp also. The medical check you do in a day and depending on whether you are a single person or a family will be the delay in returning the result for a single person the results is usually returned the next day however for families sometimes it takes two or three days. The limit cost is $ 250 but some people find it cheaper because they are already vaccinated with vaccines that make the total value a little bit higher for example in the case of my friends she (beneficiary)  was already vaccinated with the yellow fever and it cost her $ 180. The total price $250 for the medical check covers both the blood test for $ 10 and Chest X-ray  for $ 15. Remember that you have to carry the vaccination card from Cuba so you do not have to pay for all vaccines again.
Their interview was for 8:00 am but they arrived at 7:15 in the morning and they made the number 20 in the queue. According to my friends, everything was very fast and organized. First, they go to an area where they check the papers that they are going to take to the window where they do the interview, then the interview and then they tell you if you are approved or not and also that it takes 7 days to have the visa passport ready however hers was already ready the next day. The visa passport is collected in another place that is also close to the embassy. The ticket to travel is recommended to buy it back and forth the same for the person traveling from Cuba to Guyana as for the person traveling from the United States to Guyana. 
Later on in the return you can change the destiny of the person who was going to return to Cuba changing that passage back to the United States to make that change to them specifically cost them $ 538. The value of these changes depends on the airline company with which you decide to travel. They traveled through the Copa Airlines but there are two other companies that fly to Guyana (Caribbean Airlines and Suriname).
My friends say that there is little entertainment outside the hotel so he recommend you to take something that you can connect to the TV like the Apple TV box ( that is what he did). I know that Walmart has a device that is like a flash memory used to connect to the TV ( I think it is  call streaming box and it comes with different names ) and you could watch Netflix and YouTube and other things on the Internet so you do not get bored. 
When they arrived in the United States they were given a form to fill it out and apply online for the residence and it is paid online also it costs $ 220 and you will receive the residence to the same address that you put in the form that you filled DS-260.
He also told me that on that day there were people doing an interview that had been pending since July 2017 and that they had an interview when U.S.A closed the embassy in Cuba since Tropical Storm Irma, so we only have to wait patiently and see when our interview comes. If you do not speak English or do not understand English you can copy all this note and translate it into Google translate. Unfortunately I can not write in Spanish in this topic. You can also contact me through the private message of Visa Journey. I usually do not go to Visa Journey because it is very difficult for me from my cell phone because for some reason I cannot explain I always get a lot of pop-ups and restrictions when checking VJ post/ topics from my cell and  it does not have an App either. But even once a week I check VJ almost always on Sundays. I hope this help and clarify most of you. I wish you good vibes......

As mentioned above Cr1 is usally less expensive however marrying a foreigner in Cuba is very costly.  Also you have to waiy for your marriage license which will take longer. Of you are sure then fo for it but if you are wavering even a little opt for k1. Cr1 times are unpredictable whereas k1 seem to pretty consitant

One other thing to consider (if it's important to you). Tourist visas are hard to come by and expensive to get (given the whole third country embassy) for Cubans, so if you want one wedding with both families (this was very important to me), Cuba is your only option. I also had a wedding for 150+ people. Minus the airfare part (so including my dress, the party, the food, and the paperwork) my parents spent less than $5K. That easily would have been $30-40K in the US.

The cost is a wash when choosing between cr1 and k1 in cuba because if the many steps it takes get your documents ready for marriage in cuba and the actual ceremony itself which will cost about $750. As mentioned above the bigger considerations are do you want your spouse to be able to work, to have a driver's license because some states restrict that to just green card holders and your spouse will not have one for a good while, to be able to go visit cuba when they want or need to immediately. Those are the reasons I chose cr1. 

Well, I married a Cuban citizen ,, 
if you are a foreigner,  ..
1 very pricey,, 750 dollars at the international buffet, ( aside from other later work) that’s the Cuban government,
 
2 it is the fastest route for your fiancée/wife .. 
3. You must wait a few days , obtain marriage proof / certificates,
4. Apply I130 us immigration,
5 . You must have proof and translated documents of your spouse ,, 
birthcertificate , address, parents status , 
chlidren if any ? 
Passport updated ( 125 dollars Cuban money ) 
6 lots of patience and time ,, 
takes about 4 to 8 weeks to have all paperwork ready ( Cuba only) 
7 you must have at least 8 passport pictures done ,,  you will be asked many times for passport pictures for your spouse ,, in Cuba 4 in the us 4 
it can vary ,,
8 once you start your process ,, 
fue to changes , 1 year to get your spouse ,,
USCIS, NVC , interviews , 
not including complications you may encounter,,
 
as as a US CITIZEN, 
the fastest way is marriage ,,, 
fiancee will take 3 to 6 months more ,, 
 

I-130 is the best choice. It only took 2-3 more month in compare to K1, but you will save a ton of money and time.

K3 visa is obsolete. Go with CR1.

Basically the things to think about are
How important is it for your fiancé(e) to work and travel internationally quickly after arriving? Can you marry relatively quickly in your country, your fiancé(e)'s country, or a third country? Are you comfortable living apart for a long time while married? If your fiancé(e) has children you'll also be bringing with, what are the legal implications of either visa type?

Spouse visa. Takes 12 to 14 months but the spouse can work upon arrival. 

The CR-1 is superior to a K-1 in my opinion. Processing times are long, but It has absolutely nothing to do with the Trump administration.  Here is my quick comparison:
K-1
    More expensive than CR-1
    Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)
    Spouse can not leave the US until she receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-4 months)
    Spouse can not work until she receives EAD (approx 3-4 months)
    some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period .
    Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
CR-1
    Less expensive than K-1
    No AOS required.
    Spouse can immediately travel outside the US
    Spouse can start work if desired
    Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card withing 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US
    Spouse  has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.
 
All-in-all, the CR-1 is superior to the K-1 imo.
