The US authorities promised to reveal what were the most common mistakes when applying for the program parole program, which began in January of this year and offers 30,000 visas a month to people from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti.
Through an official statement shared on social networks, the United States Embassy in Havana promised to share important information so that the citizens of the Island do not commit these offenses when initiating a process.
“During the following days we will be publishing the series Most Frequent Errors When You Apply for Humanitarian Parole. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter so you don’t miss any information”, reads this publication.
In their first post dedicated to these problems, the US authorities explained that they will reject any Form I-134A that has been submitted more than once in the name of the same beneficiary.
In this sense, the authorities warned that the office of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) will immediately reject any duplicate form.
“USCIS will reject any duplicate Form I-134A submitted by a potential support person for the same beneficiary,” this statement begins.
The publication qualifies this as one of the most frequent mistakes when applying for this benefit.
The US authorities recommended that you be aware of the status of your form through the USCIS application, in order to send a correction if necessary.
“Potential petitioners cannot file a Form I-134A in the name of the same beneficiary. USCIS will not accept a duplicate Form I-134A if there is already another Form I-134A pending in the name of the same beneficiary.
Similarly, the US embassy in Cuba points out that the digital tools offered by USCIS can be used to keep an eye on the status of each form.
“You can monitor the status of your Form I-134A in your USCIS online account or check your latest status at Case Status Online. Please note that the USCIS Contact Center cannot provide additional information on the most recent status beyond what is available to them.”
Finally, the diplomatic headquarters stresses that users can only request a consultation if their cases have been pending for more than six months, a period that it considers standard.
“USCIS only accepts a query if the Form I-134A filed on your behalf has been pending for more than six months. This includes inquiries submitted through the secure mailbox in your USCIS online account. Please note that this is a standard time frame for filing an inquiry and you do not necessarily have to wait for a decision on your Form I-134A during this time frame.”
