Beau & Digna

Cuba requires those who have ever held Cuban citizenship to enter Cuba on a Cuban passport, if I'm not mistaken. My Cuban-American family that left Cuba very young complain about the expensive passport fees and overall bureaucracy of it all. Since your wife's American passport will list Cuba as her country of birth, I think it's a bad idea to have her go back on anything but a Cuban passport, even though she would never use it for any other purpose.

The packet 3 my fiancé picked up in Havana has the following:
1 copy - I-156K (Rev. 03-1998) (English on Front, Spanish on Back)
1 copy – DS-230 Parts I and II (Rev. 07-2004) (In Spanish)
2 copies – DS-156 (Rev. 2-2003) (In Spanish)
2 copies – DS-157 (Rev. 1-2002) (In Spanish)
There is a checklist of documents to gather (Police, Birth Certificate, Medical, Etc.)
There is a list indicating the approved hospitals for the medical.
Here’s the kicker…There’s also a cover letter that says this letter needs to be presented at the time of the interview,and it also requests this letter on the document checklist. My fiancé was asked for this letter, when booking the medical appointment, but was eventually able to schedule without it.
If you have K-2 children involved, the packet will contain everything listed above except the I-156K, for each child as well. Also don’t forget to provide the I-134…It’s listed on the documents checklist. You will also need to fill out both copies of DS-156 and DS-157 for each beneficiary. I don’t see a way to attach a document to VJ or I’d go ahead and do it…Sorry, I hope you understand, but I’m pretty protective of my personal email, and don’t want to send it from there 100 times over the next year…ja ja. Hope this helps.
It’s surprising how outdated the documents are in the packet…I’m not sure if we should go ahead, and fill out the forms they gave us by hand, or download more recent documents to type up on the computer.
Oh, and it doesn’t seem that anything needs to be turned in before the interview day.

We recently spent 3 weeks together in Cuba...It was great as usual. I've been there 12-13 times in the last 3 years. My (K-1) wife has her "green card" now, and we are married in USA. I'm only writing this to say AVOID PHOENIX. PHOENIX airport sucks, however we might move there...ja ja. PHOENIX sucks for immigration, and they are RUDE, and disrespectful. We got taken into "the room" at immigration, I had an "agent" way too close to me asking questions when I just wanted too pee. I told them of the "general license" to travel to Cuba for family visitations. They told me that there was no such thing as a "general license". After we got out of custody, a heafty american lady searched our luggage, and the heafty american lady verbally confirmed that there is no such thing as a "general license" because she "looked it up". She told me to fill out a certain form...Question #1 was "Are you traveling under a GENERAL LICENSE or a specific license. I spoke up about the GENERAL LICENSE on the form, but she said "There is no such thing". I completed the form, and the heafty lady said "go". We ran, and our connection flight was waiting for us...DELAYED waiting.

Ha ha...ja ja...Thank you!! It's the same process as the rest of the world, but Cubans actually have an EXTRA hurdle...permission to leave Cuba.

Just a thought...
When did he file the last petition?
There is a filing limitation that you cannot file two I-129Fs within a two year period without a waiver.
If his last petition was less than two years ago, you should send them a letter requesting a waiver of the two year filing period requirement and explain your situation.
