US Immigration from Cuba

Hello to all , mostly to those of you that help our community the most with your time and advice.

I'm a US citizen, requested a I-130 for both my Cuban national wife and my stepdaughter who is single no married 10 year old and I both received notice of UCIS receiving such apps 26/August/2019.

Later on after a few months, I received the notice of action I-797 for the approval of the i-130 in behalf of my 10 year old stepdaughter only.A month has passed and I hear nothing from USCIS about neither approval or denial of my wife I-130 request case.We are worry that if both cases were to been processed separate will became an extra burden, as my stepdaughter is a minor, and the logistic problems of traveling, etc that this will create.

My question is , is normal this time gap of a month or more between mother and daughter approval times for an spouse/family/kids I-130 request?

Any help will be a blessing , thank you so much.

Hi everyone -

As I am sure all of you are doing, I check the website (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gy/iv) each day to see if interviews are being scheduled. Some background. I'm American and my fiancee is Cuban and we have to go to the U.S. embassy in Georgetown, Guyana for the interview. I'm at the point in the process where the I-129 has been approved, the NVC has assigned a case number, and I've completed the DS-160s. I've just been waiting to schedule an interview and then pay the visa fees.

Well, lo and behold, about 30 minutes ago, I checked the website, and an available interview date popped up! Dec 17, 2020! I was so excited. I clicked on it to select it and then went to the payment part - but here is the kicker. I have to go to a local bank in Guyana and pay in cash before the interview can be scheduled! Sooooo.....now what?

Questions:

1) My petition was approved on Nov 5, 2019. Is it wise to schedule an interview for Dec 17, 2020, over a year later? Maybe that's money down the drain.

2) If it's wise to proceed, how can I pay for these visa fees without being able to fly to Guyana? There must be a business that does this.

Thank you all!

Hola a todos los cubanos en este forum.

He creado este topico para compartir nuestras experiencas con relacion al programa de Reunificacion Familiar Cubano, tambien conocido por sus siglas en ingles como: (CFRP) Cuban Family Reunification Parole.

Actualmente estoy immerso en este proceso de aplicacion para mi hija q esta en Cuba. Estoy en la fase inicial aguardando por la aprobacion de la i-130.

Les deseo mucha suerte en sus procesos.

My fiance lives in Cuba and does not have easy access to a fax machine/scanner or a reliable postal service where we could easily mail things back and forth. What is the best advice for getting his signature for our letter of intent to marry.. As well as passport photos? Anyone else with a Cuban fiance struggling with this?

The link to the executive order is above. Are K1s going to be blocked for now? I think so, according to Section 2 - that is, unless your fiance(e) is exempted under Section 3 - and there are 9 exemptions.

I'm really worried that this suspension is going to exceed 60 days and that our petitions will expire at some point. Ugh!!! So frustrating.

Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry. (a) The suspension and limitation on entry pursuant to section 1 of this proclamation shall apply only to aliens who:

(i) are outside the United States on the effective date of this proclamation;

(ii) do not have an immigrant visa that is valid on the effective date of this proclamation; and

(iii) do not have an official travel document other than a visa (such as a transportation letter, an appropriate boarding foil, or an advance parole document) that is valid on the effective date of this proclamation or issued on any date thereafter that permits him or her to travel to the United States and seek entry or admission.
