Well It was a good run, Cubans!, too bad they couldn't have just left it alone, eh?
The program of Cuban family reunification, the Cuban Family Reunification Parole (CFRP) Program, was established in 2007. This special parole process allowed certain Cuban beneficiaries of approved family petitions to enter the U.S. early (via parole) while waiting for visas, and then adjust status quickly under the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966. It was created specifically for Cubans to help meet U.S.-Cuba migration accord commitments and expedite reunification, paired with the 1966 Act's benefits for Cuban natives/citizens.
