US Immigration from Cuba

So my understanding is that once the k1 visa issued you get your passport back and along with a sealed envelope which is opened by border patrol on POE. Do you trust the embassy if they say that both the K1 and K2 documents are in the same sealed envelope instead of individually.

Only asking because since it cannot be opened you have no way to confirm

Hello All,

God willing my fianc and her son will be coming to the USA next week and I have a few questions.

1. Upon entry since I will be flying back with them can I go through the visitor line after landing or do I have to go separately through the US citizen line?

2. Is there any kind of documentation that they will receive upon entry after turning in the famously seal yellow envelope?

3. I have also heard that the k1 beneficiary should apply for SSN atleast 3 days after entry before getting married.

Thanks in advance

Hello All,

So my future wife and her son had their medical exam on 2/1 and their interview on 2/6. The interview went well they even told her she was approved but just needed to bring in her medical exam because it was not ready until 2/8.

The medical exam was turned in to the US embassy on 2/9 how long will it take for the status to change to issued?

Anyone have experience with this

Hi All,

My wife was born in Holguin, Cuba and just became a US citizen. I am a natural born US Citizen. We both live in Louisville, KY and should more than enough to cover the financial sponsorship. But we arn't sure if we should file the I-130 or I-134a or Both? Her parents can wait the 10.5 months posted on USCIS for I-130 processing times. This will give them time to sell their house and belongings, they can also come as early as 90 days best case scenario of the I-134a.... but are I-130 interviews actually happening that fast in Havana for I-130 applicartions? Her parents are ready to leave and never come back Cuba. Seems like I-134a will process much faster but will cost more in the long run with additional forms. Im still trying to figure that out exactly.

Can anyone help who is fimilar with the I-130 and i-134a for Cubans?

I submitted an i-134a case on January 6th. My background - No criminal record, hold a Masters degree in Engineering, working for prestigious fortune 500 company, no debt, own my own home. My application should take 5 minutes for a USCIS approval.

My beneficiary - Cuban dentist, fluent in English, no criminal record, and she is my fianc e. We applied for K1 on Oct 18th 2021, and have yet to receive NOA2. K1 no longer matters.

There are been several news outlets that are reporting that Cuba has law that is in the process of being passed. This law will prevent all medical personal from leaving the country. This includes Dentist, Doctors, Nurses, technicians, and anyone working at the hospitals or medical places. I have called USCIS for the last 3 days trying to get some sort of urgency. Every agent I have spoken too has been very sympathetic and has done everything within their power to get some help. I was placed in a queue to speak to a Tier 2 agent and my spot in line was marked URGENT. It's now been 72 hours and I have not received a call. My application(s) still sit there with no movement.

I don't know what to do. I am fearful that my fianc e is going to be locked in this country. Please! does anyone know any ways of getting immediate action from USCIS. This is super time sensitive and this could be happening any day now. Please help. I am desperate.
