I met my fiance several years ago in Cuba and are now
planning on getting married.
My fiance is the most wonderful man I have ever known - he
is a gentleman, intelligent and incredibly funny! My
question here is: Has anyone here married a man from
Cuba? Was the transition to a new country extremely
difficult? Are you still happily married? My fiance
actually wanted me to move to Cuba as he has a very good
job there (out of the question!) I love my fiance very much
and want him to move to North America and make the
transition as smooth as possible.
Anyone have any similar experiences/stories?
Thanks!

You will not move to Cuba, but expect your fiance to leave
his job, home and his friends and family and come to you.
Do you expect always to get your own way? Marriage requires
give and take from BOTH parties.
Yes BB I udnerstand marriage is give and take from BOTH
parties. The decision not to move there was based on the
fact that I have two children and next to impossible to get
proper food and nutrition for them unless staying in
resorts. This is a problem faced by most Cubans
there...having money doesn't mean you can get what you
need. We have discussed this at length and came to the
same conclusion that it must be in north america,
especially for the children's sake. Neither one of us
takes advantage of the other but discuss issues and come to
a mutual agreement.
I want to know if anyone else has been in a similar
position and what difficulties they may have faced in
making a smooth transition and any roadblocks encountered
along the way.
It will be as hard for your future husband to adjust to
living in North America as it would be for you to adjust to
living in Cuba..children and all.This will be especially
true if he is not able to find the same work here as he
now does in Cuba.. or at least work which will give him the
same status...and allow him to support you.
If North America means Canada it could take up two years
for you to jump through all the immigation hoops necessary
to bring your husband here...the often quoted time of two
months has a way of getting out of hand. Just waiting for
all the paperwork necesssary to leave Cuba can be a lengthy
process. That is just an observation from sitting in the
Canadian embassy in havana listening to people vow that
they will write a book on how to go about the process..once
they have successfully completed the course.
That means that there are people out there with lots of
experience who could give you more food for thought. try
putting your query on the caribbean arm of the thorn tree
and see what shakes out. Good luck.
Thanks Canoe...what sort of hurdles were you referring to?
Are these hurdles before or after the medicals & interview
at the embassy?
I have gathered alot of information on the requirements and
processes, but that is just it..information. I have not
heard from anyone on the process in it's entirety, and
certainly not after the interview part.
Yes, I am referring to a move to Canada...thanks for the
input!
