Eligibility for the Cuban Adjustment Act
The CAA of 1966 is a U.S. federal law that provides a special pathway for Cuban nationals to obtain lawful permanent residence (a Green Card) in the United States. The act was created in response to the political situation in Cuba following the Cuban Revolution, which led to a large number of Cubans seeking refuge in the U.S.
Eligibility is determined based on the following factors:
- Cuban Nationals: The primary beneficiaries of the CAA are Cuban nationals who have been admitted or paroled into the U.S.
- Time Requirement: The individual must have been physically present in the U.S. for at least one year.
- Lawful Status: The individual must have been admitted or paroled into the U.S. as opposed to entering the country unlawfully. However, certain waivers and exceptions can apply.
- Spouses and Children: The CAA also extends to the spouses and children of eligible Cuban nationals, regardless of their nationality.
How to Apply Under the Cuban Adjustment Act
If you are eligible for the Cuban Adjustment Act, you must apply with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which includes the following steps:
- Application for Adjustment of Status: After meeting the one-year physical presence requirement, the eligible Cuban national can apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.
- Form I-485: The application is made by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
- Supporting Documentation: The applicant must provide evidence of their Cuban nationality, proof of lawful admission or parole, and any other relevant documentation.
- Interview: In some cases, USCIS may require an interview to further evaluate the applicant's eligibility.
