Individuals born outside of Cuba applying for lawful permanent resident status in the United States under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) must take note that USCIS is no longer considering a consular certificate documenting an individual’s birth outside of Cuba to a Cuban parent as sufficient evidence of Cuban citizenship. USCIS will not consider a consular certificate as sufficient proof of Cuban citizenship, even if the consular certificate contains a statement of citizenship.
USCIS will continue to accept valid Cuban passports and Cuban Civil Registry documents issued in Havana as proof of Cuban citizenship.
