The State Department announced last week that it would resume limited immigrant visa processing at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba.
Key Points:
Background: In 2015, the U.S. opened the Embassy in Havana, marking the return of formal diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Under former President Donald Trump, the State Department reduced staff and services at the Embassy amid a spate of unexplained health incidents termed “Havana Syndrome.” The Embassy said the resumption 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.” Officials are expected to post more information on the Embassy website in the coming weeks.
