Thousands of Cubans have requested President Biden to reopen the United States embassy in Cuba, through a public petition -on the White House website- and with the hashtag #ReopenUSHavEmbassy, on Twitter.
They ask for the reopening of the United States embassy in Cuba
In this way, the petition published on the citizen platform We The People, it needs to reach 100,000 signatures, before February 8, to be attended by the White House.
This request, for the reopening of the United States embassy in Cuba, communicates the following:
The Cuban community in the United States and Cubans on the island request that consular services be resumed in Havana, Cuba. We ask the new Biden-Harris administration to listen to this request from the Cubans.
However, even with 100,000 signatures, the US embassy could remain closed. Therefore, it would continue only with its essential services.
Consequently, Cubans must travel to Guyana to carry out immigration procedures, to enter the United States.
However, this option is not viable either – at this time – because the only airline that connects Guyana and Cuba suspended its flights on January 5.
Protests on Twitter
Meanwhile, since January 29, thousands of posts have been made with the tag #ReopenUSHavEmbassy, calling for the reopening of the United States embassy in Cuba.
In general, the publications ask the new administration for a change towards immigration policies to reverse the damage to Cuban American families. Therefore, the consular services of the United States embassy in Cuba are resumed. In addition, it is requested that the CFRP for Cubans -which was suspended in 2017- and the PP10014.
The CFRP allows citizens and legal permanent residents of the United States to apply for parole for their relatives in Cuba.
Meanwhile he PP10014 It is a presidential proclamation that suspends the entry to the United States of certain applicants, for immigrant visa, who pose a risk to the American labor market during the economic recovery after the Covid19 outbreak.

Cubans implore your help. We don’t see the light at the end of the dark. We need the embassy in Cuba, we waited years to be legally with our families. We have to go to Guyana and the delay is too long, dangerous and expensive. #ContinueCubanCFRP detained since 2017.

From the @USEmbCubaceased its consular services in 2017, the United States has not complied with the migration agreements signed with Cuba in 1994. Cuban families are devastated by political differences. This has to change.
Cuban families need rays of light to eliminate the sadness that affects our hearts due to stopped and delayed processes. Our hopes are with you.
The suspension of consular service in Cuba is a benefit for the Cuban government, it only hurts the Cuban people who want to emigrate legally. Traveling to a third country is risky for everyone.

Families belong together, there is no need to learn to live with the pain of not having loved ones close, especially when it is only 90 miles that keeps them apart.
