We understand how important it is to secure your future – and your family’s future – here in the United States. When you work with our team, you’ll receive experienced, personalized legal support every step of the way.
Who Qualifies Under the Cuban Adjustment Act?
The Cuban Adjustment Act offers a unique path to permanent residency for Cuban nationals and their immediate family members.
You may be eligible if:
- You are a Cuban national who has been inspected and admitted or paroled into the U.S.
- You have been physically present in the U.S. for at least one year at the time of your application and physically present in the U.S. at the time of filing.
- You were inspected and admitted or paroled.
- You are the spouse or child of an eligible Cuban national, regardless of your own nationality.
Note: Even if you did not enter through a standard legal port of entry, you may still qualify through parole or certain waivers. Every case is unique, and eligibility should be reviewed by an experienced immigration attorney.
Steps to Apply Under the Cuban Adjustment Act
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you may apply for a Green Card through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The process typically involves:
1. Filing for Adjustment of Status
After meeting the one-year physical presence requirement, eligible applicants can file to request adjustment to lawful permanent resident status.
2. Submitting Supporting Documentation
You’ll need to include:
- Proof of Cuban nationality (e.g., birth certificate or passport)
- Documentation of lawful entry or parole into the U.S.
- Identification and background information
- Any necessary waivers or additional forms
3. Attending a USCIS Interview (If Required)
In some cases, USCIS may request an in-person interview to confirm eligibility and clarify documentation.
