I wanted to provide the verbiage stated on the US Embassy Havana regarding choosing another embassy if specifically stated on the cover letter.

What if I would prefer to process my immigrant visa case at another U.S. embassy or consulate?  Am I required to process my case in Georgetown?

While current immigrant visa applications will automatically be scheduled at, and transferred to, U.S. Embassy Georgetown, immigrant visa applicants may request to process their application, or continue processing their application, at another U.S. embassy or consulate.  Such applicants must provide justification for the case transfer (such as, for example, a move or change in residency to another country) and show that they can legally reside in the country while their case is being processed.  If the case file has already been transferred to U.S. Embassy Georgetown, a transfer request must be forwarded directly to the Immigrant Visa Unit at the chosen U.S. embassy or consulate.  If the case file is still held at the National Visa Center (NVC), you can contact them using the Ask NVC online contact form.  If the U.S. embassy or consulate agrees to accept the case and the case is qualified for scheduling, NVC will transfer the case to your requested U.S. embassy or consulate.

Hello,

i did did a lot of research on this matter, since the interviews in Cuba are only for medical emergencies.  In looking at the options for Cuban Nationals, and also the experiences and challenges in Guyana and Columbia, there are other options.

Due to the excessive complaints, you can now go to any US Embassy for the interview.  However, when aligning flights I discovered most of the airlines make a stop to places that require Cubans to have a Visa (Bahamas, Miami, NY).  I chose Barbados, because we did not want to travel to South America due to the heavy presence of dunge fever/Zika Virus, high crime in Georgetown, and the open water issues there.

In looking at the challenging flights, we found Caribbean Airlines had the best prices, friendly stops (Trinidad), and shortest flight durations.  If you choose Barbados, I would state that intent on the cover letter of the petition.

Good Luck!
