Cubans seeking a visitor visa must apply at a US embassy or consulate in a third country that accepts third-country applicants.","question":"Can I get a B1/B2 tourist-visa interview at the US Embassy in Havana?"},{"answer":"Immigrant visas (family-petition and other green-card categories) are processed in Havana, and since September 2024 the embassy also restored several nonimmigrant work and exchange categories — A, G, H, J, L, O, P, Q, and R. What stays suspended is the routine visitor (B1/B2) operation.","question":"What visas DOES the embassy in Havana process?"},{"answer":"Per the US Embassy’s visa guidance, starting January 21, 2026, Cuban nationals found otherwise eligible for a B1/B2 visa may be required to post a bond of up to $15,000, with payment instructions given at the interview. Verify the current terms on cu.usembassy.gov before applying — this policy is recent and could change.","question":"Is it true Cubans must pay a bond for a B1/B2 visa?"}],"generated":"2026-06-11","isBasedOn":"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"US visa wait times for Cuba — what Havana actually processes in 2026","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/global-visa-wait-times.html","https://cu.usembassy.gov/visas/"],"type":"visa-wait-country","url":"https://migrantusa.com/us-visa-wait-times/cuba/"}
