You are Cuban and you want a 5-year visa to visit the United States. The American Embassy in Havana does not process these visas, so you must go to a third country. We will tell you what is the fastest option this month.
As every month, we bring you updated information on where to apply for your 5-year visa to the US quickly and easily. We will guide you through the American embassies with the shortest and simplest response times for Cuban applicants, avoiding unnecessary delays. All of this with the support of an official website of the American government.
Although the U.S. Embassy in Havana does not currently issue them, as they only process immigrant visas, you can apply for your 5-year visa to the United States in a third country, such as Guyana or Nicaragua. Why these two? Well, it’s simple: they do not require visas from Cubans and, therefore, the savings in time and money are more significant.
5-year visa for Cubans heading to the United States
We always remember that having an appointment at Embassy X does not guarantee you a visa to the US or that it will be approved. Although with organization and preparation, you can obtain your visa and maintain entry to the northern country for 5 years, if luck smiles on you. Luck and that you meet the requirements, obviously.
According to the official website “Global Visa Wait Times”, which provides approximate waiting times for visa appointments at different US embassies, the situation for tourist visa applications at the Guyana embassy is as follows in July.
In recent months, appointments in Guyana took just a month. Now, the waiting time for an appointment in Georgetown is longer, apparently due to demand. Currently, the waiting time for an appointment in Georgetown is 72 days, according to official information.
What regarding Nicaragua? This is still the best option for Cubans who want an appointment for a 5-year visa, although airline prices are sky-high, because it is also an immigration option to the southern border of the United States. According to the aforementioned website, it takes just one day to give you an appointment for B1 and B2.
Waiting times at other embassies: Madrid, Spain: 240 days. Mexico City: 609 days. Montevideo, Uruguay: 50 days.
