Beginning in May 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Havana will resume immigrant visa services on a limited basis for applicants in the IR-5 category (Parent of a U.S. Citizen). The U.S. Embassy Georgetown in Guyana will remain the primary processing location for all other Cuban immigrant visa applicants.
IR-5 applicants who are notified after April 1, 2022, that their case is ready to be processed will have their interview scheduled at Embassy Havana, not Embassy Georgetown. IR-5 applicants who were notified prior to April 1, 2022, that their case was ready to be processed will be interviewed at Embassy Georgetown.
