Cuban Adjustment of Status (AOS)

The Cuban Adjustment of Status (AOS) allows Cuban nationals (and their eligible family members) to apply for lawful permanent residency (a Green Card) in the United States.

​

Under Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA), Cuban citizens who have been in the U.S. for at least one year and are otherwise admissible to the country can apply for permanent resident status, regardless of their immigration status at the time of their entry.

Who is Eligible for Cuban Adjustment of Status?

You may be eligible for Cuban AOS if:

✅ You are a Cuban national (born in Cuba).

✅ You have been physically present in the United States for at least one year after your arrival (even if you entered the U.S. illegally or without inspection).

✅ You are currently in the U.S. and are not subject to inadmissibility grounds (such as criminal offenses).

✅ You were paroled into the U.S. (which includes those who entered with a visa or under the Cuban Refugee Program).

✅ You are applying as a derivative beneficiary (a spouse or child of a Cuban national who is already applying for AOS).
