Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Kimberly Breier this Wednesday published a tweet asking Cubans for “patience” for those affected by the halt in the Cuban Family Reunification Parole (CFRP) Program more than 20 months ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breier wrote that the State Department is processing approved immigration petitions for Cubans in Guyana and that they recognize that there is a long wait for approved cases of CFRP, that they appreciate their patience and flexibility as they process requests outside this alternative location.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy in Havana echoed the comment, one of the few publicly received regarding the claims from Cubans affected by the halt of the parole program.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of Cuban residents (and even U.S. citizen) entered the Parole program to claim their relatives in Cuba, with the aim of expediting a process that can take years for people from other countries and for Cubans with that facility could take months or a little over a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in 2017 the United States <\/span>decided to stop issuing visas<\/span><\/a> in Havana due to the alleged “acoustic attacks” and the parole program was not taken over by any close embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n
