Explain everything and have names and other important information handy before making the call or visit so she, or you, will be able to provide all information when asked..

She can inform them that the family is aware of security procedures that must be followed but she is hoping that her local elected Representative will expedite the procedure so her daughter can come as planned..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20448138 Wed, 07 May 2008 20:24:30 EDT Re: Same last names as Cuban spies. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20448017 Acere :

"Salazar" and "Labaniño" Even me a white person the first name is common. How common is the second name? That could make a difference. Plus where did they live. Ok we know the country but was it near the others etc.
In Cuba we use 2 last names, from the father and from the mother. "Salazar" is not her first name, its her first last name and "Labañino" is her second last name. It would be like this:

FIRST-NAME "Salazar" "Labañino"

Maybe you knew this, I couldnt tell.

My aunt lives in Habana. I have no idea where the other guys are from.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20448017 Wed, 07 May 2008 19:58:11 EDT Re: Same last names as Cuban spies. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20447884 anon : "Salazar" and "Labaniño" Even me a white person the first name is common.

By the Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program (CFRPP), my grandmother petitioned for her daughter back in Cuba (my aunt). So we followed all the process etc up to the point where my aunt had an interview in the US Embassy in Cuba 2 weeks ago. The officer told her that her case was approved, that it was going to be sent to Washington for clearing and to come back in 2 weeks to pick up the visas.

My aunt went today to pick up the visas and they told her that her case was stuck in Washington because of my aunt's last names. My aunt's last names are "Salazar" and "Labaniño" which are the exact same two last names of one of those 5 Cuban spies that were found here in the US. As far as we know, we dont have anything to do with those people but as you can see, having the same 2 last names can be suspicious.

So basically, they gave my aunt an open pass so she can go to the Embassy anytime she wants to keep checking on her case.

I understand they have to check for security reasons and that is all fine, but im just wondering, what will happen next? When they find out we dont have anything to do with those people, will they then clear my aunt and give her the visas?

This sucks. After years of being in the waiting list for my aunt to come here etc, this gets in the way and we have no idea on what are the proceedings with this type of situation.
