The US is currently prioritizing “IR-5 applicants (parents of US citizens)”. The plan is to expand US consular services in Cuba.

For the past 5 years, Cubans who wanted to enter the US have had to go to a third country like Colombia or Guyana to obtain a visa, increasing costs and risks. Many people choose to instead migrate illegally.
