My review would be similar to all the others... go to the park early, pay attention for the permanent visa information. After your name is called, go to the other side of the street, get checked off on another list, then wait around near the snack stand until they come out to get the permanent visa applicants. I had no trouble entering the consulate with my Fiance... we just kept telling everyone that I was his Fiance and I showed my passport and they kept waiving me along with him. Eventually they gave me a "pass", but I was already inside!
Once inside, wait in one room, go to another room to hand over your paperwork. The interesting thing is that I've heard other people say the person at the window hesitated to take all their evidence... in our case, she said "is that all?" as if we hadn't brought enough. that was kinda freaky, but in reality there was alot there, and we got approved, so??? But anyway, then go to another (VERY EXTREMELY COLD) room to wait for your tur... read complete review

I have a friend who is Cuban and her Husband just had his Consular interview in Cuba. After the interview they told him that he would have to wait until about the end of this month to receive his Passport with Visa. Why do you all think it's taking so long??

I did not attend the interview with my fiancé. There are already detailed reviews of the process at the USA interest section so I am just highlighting some points that I think are important and can help people with future interviews.
• There are two lines in the park. Make sure you are in the right one.
• The waiting room is COLD – bring a jacket/sweater
• It will be a long day – take some food to snack
• Make sure they take ALL your evidence. Separate them into small packages if needed. Even if at the window they say they have enough INSIST and submit everything.
• Prepare for the interview; review the type of questions others have posted here. Some counsels are nice but others are intimidating. Prepare for the worst and hope the best.
• If the petitioner is a Cuban born US citizen, the interview will be more detailed.
• If you are put in AP, don’t panic. Simply follow the instructions on the form. A lot of p... read complete review

Our interview took place on 12/29. We arrived at the park at 7am as names were already being called. Hundreds of names were read, but not my fiance's. We went to the gate to inquire and they took my fiance's national identity card and then sent us over to the "permanent visa" section of the park, which is in front of the snack stand.
We stood stood around for maybe an hour and nothing happened but we chatted with other people waiting there who all seemed to be in the same boat. We waited there for what I think was a few hours before a woman came with the national IDs and called off names. Finally, we were sent to enter the gate. In the security room, they take your keys and cell phones.
We waited in the first room for a few hours and were the second-to-last ones called. Then we entered the middle interior room with the cashier windows and waited there for quite some time. Finally, we entered the interior waiting room with the TV screen that flashes the ... read complete review

We were placed into administrative review due to medical exam being pending. They also requested additional evidence like emails,phone bills, and also supporting documents for the Affidavit of support, i.e. form 1040 for the last three years and W2 forms as well.
Update: My fiance went back on 12/18 with the required documents. The lady that went to collect the documents didn't want to receive the whole package of supporting evidence but my fiance insisted and she accepted it. He was told to return 01/08/2015.
