The State Department announced last week that it would expand its limited immigrant visa processing at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba.
Key Points:
Background: In March 2022, the State Department announced that it would resume limited immigrant visa processing at the Embassy in Cuba after it had reduced its staff and services because of the unexplained health incidents termed “Havana Syndrome.” In May, the Embassy in Havana began scheduling interviews for applicants in the IR-5 category (parents of U.S. citizens). The Embassy said last week that the expansion of limited services is “part of the broader expansion of the Embassy’s functions to facilitate diplomatic and civil society engagement and to expand the provision of consular services.” More information regarding the expansion of visa processing is available on the Embassy website.
