Cuban Adjustment Act Application Preparation

What this form is used for

• Cuban nationals who were inspected, admitted, or paroled into the United States
• Applicants who have been physically present in the United States for the period required by the law
• Applicants who can provide Cuban civil documents and evidence of their admission or parole
• Whether you qualify, including how prior immigration history affects the case, must be determined by a qualified legal professional

Documents commonly requested

• Cuban birth certificate, with a certified English translation if needed
• Cuban passport or other identity documentation you have
• Form I-94 or other record of admission or parole
• Any prior immigration applications, notices, or court documents
