US Immigration from Cuba

Hello! So much has changed since my husband arrived from Cuba in 2015 and there has been a lot of talk regarding the Family Reunification Program for Cuban family members coming to this country. We are trying to bring my husbands mother and in 2017 she was denied a visa to visit. She was told she must wait another 5 years to apply which has now passed. Currently there is a Biombo or visa raffle that many Cuban citizens are applying to in Cuba. Is there anyone here that has current (within the last 3-6 months) experience with bring a relative via the family reunification program or any other legal means? We are reluctant to apply for a visitor visa in fear that she may be denied again. My husband is a permanent resident and I am an U.S. citizen. Thank you in advance to anyone who has information!

I'm filling out I-134A. Under evidence of assets it asks for "a recent appraisal by a licensed appraiser" of my home. Can I use the county tax assessment instead? The assessment is free and on the county website. An appraisal takes weeks and costs hundreds of dollars.

Today I used Ask Emma to make an expedite request. We're scheduled for a response in eleven days. What should I expect? I have a letter from a non-profit urgently requesting my beautiful fiancee's services. When will the USCIS let me upload the letter?

My fiancee is an optometrist with training and experience in low vision. There's a non-profit nearby that is a leader in low vision. They've helped 100,000 patients but they need a Spanish-speaking optometrist for outreach to Spanish-speaking communities. My fiancee is ideally qualified as she's trained in Community Medicine and completed a three year mission in Venezuela, where she provided vision services to all income categories. It's urgent because low vision is caused by progressive diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment can slow the diseases. If I had a progressive eye disease I would consider seeing an optometrist as urgent.

When you are sponsoring a Cuban/Haitian/Nicaraguan/Venezuelan on i-134a, you are agreeing to financially support them for two years. What are their options for medical insurance here in the USA? I am sure once they get their social security number (which should happen fairly quickly) they would be allowed to get medical insurance on the AHA market place... However what would their pricing be? Would they qualify for greatly discounted insurance since they have no income, or would they be required to use the sponsor's income to find out the cost of their coverage? Could be quite costly.

I like to get clarity on the length of support responsibility. I have read that sponsors on this new I-134A for Cubans are for the length of the parole, which is for 2 years. My question is, after the change in status and the beneficiary becomes a resident of the U.S. is the sponsor released of his support roll or does it continue until the 10yr rule or they become US Citizen, ect.. also like to know the same thing in the case of a K-1 visa,

Thank you
