Ugh. What about all the countries listed here as "visa on arrival?" Granted, the only one in Latin America I see is Bolivia. Montserrat and Columbia require "visa online," whatever that means. I wonder if there are direct flights to any of these. My Cuban friend tried getting a transit visa to Belarus through Canada and was denied. https://visaindex.com/visa-requirement/cuba-passport-visa-free-countries-list/

Sorry for what you're going through. I applied for a Cuban the evening of 1/6 and still no word. I called USCIS today and they said it still hasn't gotten through "preprocessing checks," by which they mean background checks and I don't know what else. I've also gotten a pair of MDs a sponsor and reading your thread has me rushing to get them out ASAP. I looked at flying them somewhere else for now, but all the visa-free countries I looked up are $575 to $950 one way per person, most of them at the higher end of the scale, so I'm wondering, if you're comfortable telling me, what you have found.
