A limited increase in processing immigrant visa petitions in Havana will not include thousands of pending cases of a family reunification program suspended by the Trump administration, a senior State Department official told reporters on Monday.
The U.S. Embassy in Havana last week formally announced that it was resuming “limited” immigrant visa services, a first step towards fully resuming operations.
But there is no date set to begin these services, and the embassy announcement refers exclusively to family-sponsored immigrant visa petitions, Emily Mendrala, deputy assistant secretary on Cuba issues, said.
