they are from cuba, they have tried to do everything legally by the book at great expense of course. Seems kind of unfair since the delays for an interview weren't their fault. Now an updated 864 It is what it is.

I will assume here a Notario prepared their case and subsequent Natz. 

English was good enough to pass citizenship test ..so no they did NOT do everything ByThe Book.

 

They can however help themselves by correcting the course . 
 

Being Cuban , they do have an advantage and can apply for parole for child.

That is tragic news as these poor folks do not have the resources to wait any longer.

It is too late anyway, I was unaware the petitioner may have attained citizenship and checked the  LPR box, and it has been sent already.

Then you've got an even bigger issue here....

Unfair, how?  Visa category rules are the same for everyone, regardless of where they are from.  It wouldn't be fair if a USC petitioner from Cuba could bring over derivatives, but those from other countries could not.

B seems unlikely and Parole any time soon is a lottery

 

Begs the question why they did not apply for Parole when it came out? That would be the obvious route.

I think they were at consulate stage when parole came out, I guess they thought it best to just continue the proper legal path. Wrong!

So is humanitarian parole more difficult now, with a longer wait?

Looks like petitioner forgot to tell beneficiaries, and let them just proceed and pay fees that could have gone to a new I-130. Not much to do now except attend interview, hope for a miracle

Cuban parole only came about Feb , 2023..and it actually part of a  Legal Pathway policy change.

It has changed significantly but still free to play.

Thanks for the reply, Curious what in particular has changed about the program, is it basically just that there are too many applicants for the quota currently and it's slower?

They have been very quiet on the number of applicants, half of the allocation goes to a lottery and the rest on first in first out.

 

They also banned duplicate entries presumably because of the lottery aspect.

Actually your english doesn't need to be very good to pass the citizenship test! Studying the questions and answers will do it though.

Hmm..interesting position your friend has taken…

If he no longer wants your help , then hopefully he acts quickly to undo the claim he is an LPR.

Perhaps he would listen if you could elaborate on what will happen now that he has made this egregious misrepresentation of his status.

As long as he makes a timely withdrawal I do not see an issue, they have had not benefits.
