Cuban Parole Programs

[calygirl75 12]

Can husband ask during his CR1 interview if he can petition for his mother (a cuban national) under this program?

I thought I saw a embassy review under the Cuba section that mentioned someone submitting documentations for additional relatives at the time but now I can't find it. Anyone out there know a little more about this scenario? Or is it easier to have my husband arrive here first in order to become established before requesting reunification with his mother?

Thanks.

I believe he can. Here is more information about the CP-3 parole program:

However, keep in mind this per the website:

Additional Information about Family-Based Parole

Currently, extremely high demand and limited appointments slots mean there is a lengthy wait to obtain a CP3 interview appointment. In many cases, it may be faster for the immigrant visa or the CP1 parole recipient to file an I-130 petition for the potential CP3 applicant once the immigrant visa or CP1 parole recipient qualifies to do so.

Please keep in mind that Family-Based Parole requests take a considerable amount of time to be processed. Visa holders do not need to be present during this process, and must enter the United States before the applicant will be issued a visa.

I'm really leaning towards waiting. One never knows how long this program/path will last. Things are always so fluid. Thanks so much for your feedback.
