This Tuesday, May 16, there will be a new opportunity for Cubans who wish to find a sponsor legally, through the Welcome Connect platform.
Organizers of the initiative to help nationals of countries seeking refuge in the United States have not announced the number of sponsors available for this month. Let us remember that the number of Cubans who can register will depend on that number.
Last month, some Cubans confirmed to journalist Daniel Benítez, who reports news from Cuba, Miami and the United States, that yes they did enter the site and sent captures as proof of it.
From Welcome US they later assured “that people from Cuba were able to access the platform and complete their registration, since the website is not restricted.” However, they recognized that the quotas were not enough.
The truth is that the majority of Cubans were left “with the desire”. “I was waiting for 10 minutes before 11 am and from the first second he never showed me the form to fill out,” said a person who said that at 11:01 am the “waiting list” sign came out. .
WELCOME CONNECT CUBA
In March, collapse; in april, very little registration capabilities, because it depends on the number of available sponsors already verified and approved on the page. What will Cubans find this May 16 at Welcome Connect?
At the moment, what is known is that the page has not stopped recruiting support people in the United States to help those who want to get sponsors to benefit from humanitarian parole.
The registration page will continue to open for recipients on the third Tuesday of each month, with the closest dates being May 16, June 20, and July 18. “Once the registration limit for a program is reached, it will be suspended again until the following month,” Welcome Connect warns.
For Cuba and Haiti, registration will open at 11 am You must access the page and choose your program (Cubans). There you will create a profile with your personal information. Once the profile is complete, recipients will be able to view potential sponsors and select up to three to send them a message. Note: a sponsor will not be able to see your profile until you have sent them a message.
