The changes Cuba has implemented to its migration policy have enabled Cubans greater freedom to travel and work overseas. However, would-be Cuban immigrants and tourists are still required to ask permission from the U.S. government to enter America legally.
With a multi-year wait for the visa at the present time, it means that the average Cuban will be forced to shelve his plans of leaving home any time soon for a much considerable while.
“This may end up being ado about nothing,” said Jose Azel, a Cuban immigration expert of the University of Miami’s Institute for Cuban and Cuban American Studies.
According to a State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, the U.S. welcomes “any reforms that’ll allow Cubans to depart from and return to their country freely. We remain committed to the migration accords under which our two countries support and promote safe, legal and orderly migration. Our own visa requirements remain unchanged.”
