Can an LPR visit Cuba?  And, if we go, would that affect I-751 or N-400?  We plan to do legally via "support for the Cuban people."  USC has contacted American Airlines and a travel agent and we think we can do it.

You will have to list all the trips in the last 3 or 5 years when applying for for N-400. Listing countries like Cuba, Syria, North Korea etc etc will at minimum put you in extended background checks, requiring much longer process. You may also need to do some explaining to CBP and other authorities upon return to the US.

 

Travel to Cuba is frowned upon. If you're a US citizen you'd have to apply for special license in the US to travel there.

 

My recommendation is to not travel to Cuba. Unless you have sick mother there, do not put your future at risk.

 

In short: yes, I believe it can slow down and affect your I-751 and N-400.

I would not consider going to Cuba until you are at minimum a citizen if that is your final goal in terms of immigration. Travelling on any of the usual waivers will likely lead to longer background checks for any future USCIS petitions, Global Entry, government jobs etc from my research.

Lots of places to visit without issue.

Will likely add extra time and scrutiny to your cases.

Ok, so you got me thinking.  A longer process isn't a concern as long as eventually I-751 and N-400 are approved.  But both LPR and USC spouse have Global Entry.  We travel a lot and if it could affect renewing Global Entry, we wouldn't go.

We're fine with that.  But risking renewal of Global Entry is a deal breaker.  If we do everything by the book, is that really a danger?

I would guess it could be, since GE is a way to bypass some CBP/DOS/DHS security processes, and travelling to a high risk country could compromise security.  I do not know for sure.
