Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans

Generally you cannot not sponsor a tourist visa but I have seen a few cases now where people have used this program for friends and relatives to visit.

Some of the advantages:

• No application fee
• No Consulate Interview
• Visit is up to 2 years not 6 months or possibly less
• Allows you to work etc if you want to
• No risk of application being denied for immigrant intent etc
• Depending where you are visiting you may qualify for benefits such as free healthcare etc
• May be quicker to obtain

Fearing Mikhail would be drafted, jailed or worse, the family decided to flee, embarking on a multi-country odyssey with their newborn, Philip, and toddler, Mark, that would take them through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Dubai, Mexico and ultimately to the United States all with the help of strangers.

They would become part of a vast wave of Russians seeking shelter from the war in the United States. Over the past six months, data posted by American border authorities shows that the number of Russian citizens they have encountered has nearly tripled: from 1,645 Russians in August 2022 (the month before Russia s draft began) to 4,509 in January.

Another news thread suggested it would not be that many and will of course take time to ramp up

The Biden administration is expected to announce a virtual platform that will serve as a one-stop shop for migrants to find information about legal pathways they might be eligible for either in the US, Mexico or Canada and the opening of a new resource center in southern Mexico, the senior administration official said.

The US, Mexico, and Canada will all commit to making it possible for migrants to access our legal pathways through one platform, the senior administration official told CNN.

The virtual portal is in part a recognition of the challenges migrants face in trying to identify legal pathways to come to the US and then navigating the often difficult and arduous process to do so. Instead, people often look to smugglers, who disseminate misinformation on US policies, to journey north a hurdle for the Biden administration as it tries to discourage migrants from taking that route.

A bit weird, what would the portal cover?

President Joe Biden on Thursday announced he is expanding a program to accept up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela along with a plan to expel as many migrants from those countries who circumvent US laws as his administration confronts a surge of migrants at the southern border.

In a speech from the White House, Biden also unveiled plans to visit the US southern border on Sunday, stopping in El Paso, Texas, to meet local officials and address border security issues. It will be his first stop at the border as president.
