I-134a

If I submit I-134a soon for a Cuban do you think it could get accepted before next year?? I’m terrified that if a republican wins that this program will end

I successfully brought my Cuban fiancée and her direct family (and one friend) to the USA on i-134a. I applied on January 6th 2023 and they were approved late March 2023. I have additionally applied for one of her first cousins in May, and that application remains untouched. 

 

I will tell you that it's a very frustrating process, and I feel that we were very lucky to have our applications worked on. You need to fill out the application correctly (read the directions closely and use common sense), but the process for selecting which applications will be processed is a literal luck situation. There are no timelines for processing, and it's possible your application will never be processed. Your application could be processed in 1 day after submission, or you could be waiting 1+ year of more. 

 

The i-129f fiance visa application was also frustrating, however at least that one has set timeframes which you can force them to process your case if you are outside of the established processing order. 

 

 my thoughts for you would be to apply as soon as possible and cross your fingers. Also I would recommend submitting your application around 10:59-11am EST on a Monday and not the last week of that month and not a monday that is a holiday. This advice is me being a little superstitious but I have watched approvals in various groups, and I've noticed unsubstantiated patterns in approvals and I feel the timeslot I just listed gives you your best chance of approval.

Colombian, Cuban, Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, Haitian, Honduran, or Salvadoran, or their immediate family member as part of the family reunification parole processes. Only individuals who received an invitation specifically inviting them to request to be a supporter and initiate the FRP process by filing Form I-134A may file. There is an invitation number listed in the invitation letter that each individual filing Form I-134A must provide or we will not confirm the Form I-134A and the FRP process will not move forward

 

If you are agreeing to support a beneficiary seeking humanitarian parole who is not applying for parole under Uniting for Ukraine; the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans; or the family reunification parole processes, you must file a paper Form I-134, Declaration of Financial Support, along with Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, through the appropriate Lockbox location. For more information about parole, visit our Humanitarian or Significant Public Benefit Parole for Individuals Outside the United States page.

BTW George W Bush was President in 2007 when this program was started and he was a Republican
