Just a few minutes ago, the United States Embassy in Cuba published through its account on the social network X (Twitter) relevant and last-minute information about visa services for applicants from the island.
In a statement posted on its Twitter account, @USEmbCuba, the embassy explained that both interviews and document reviews will be affected, and applicants will be contacted soon to assign new dates.
In this way, the diplomatic and consular headquarters announces the rescheduling of all immigrant and non-immigrant visa services scheduled for the month of November.
Visa services affected
The embassy indicated that routine services, including interviews and document verification for immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, will not occur on the dates originally assigned for November.
This temporary change affects all applicants who already had scheduled appointments, and the embassy thanked users for their patience while schedules are adjusted.
For those applicants who are already in the process, the embassy reminded that it is not necessary to communicate directly with the consular staff, since each person will be contacted directly to notify the new date of their appointment.
