The United States will maintain the family reunification program in Cuba but has not yet offered more details on how the process will be carried out following the suspension of all visa processing at its embassy in Havana.
“The State Department will work with its colleagues in the Department of Homeland Security to ensure continued operation of the Cuban Family Reunification Parole program, and the refugee processing center,” the U.S. embassy in Havana said. “The State Department will soon announce arrangements for immigrant visa, Cuban Family Reunification Program (CFRP), and refugee applicants.”
Maintaining these programs is key to compliance with the immigration agreements signed in 1994, which commit Washington to issue 20,000 immigrant visas every year to Cubans on the island.
.....The United States government recently withdrew its non-essential personnel from its embassy in Havana and warned its citizens not to travel to the island, after claiming that 22 members of its diplomatic staff in Havana suffered attacks that have caused hearing loss and other symptoms.
On Thursday, the Associated Press released audio of the sound allegedly used to carry out the attacks.
U.S. will maintain the family reunification program for Cubans
Which Cuba is denying as well.
