If you are a Cuban national seeking legal permanent residency in the United States, the Cu6 Green Card offers a unique opportunity to achieve your goal. Under the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 (CAA), this Green Card category provides a streamlined process for Cuban natives or citizens to obtain permanent residency after residing in the US for at least one year.
At Antonini & Cohen, our experienced Atlanta immigration lawyers are here to guide you every step of the way. Contact us to schedule an in-depth consultation and discuss your Green Card eligibility.
What Is the Cu6 Green Card?
The Cu6 Green Card is a specialized immigration option available exclusively to Cuban nationals. It allows individuals who meet specific criteria to adjust their status to that of a lawful permanent resident. This program recognizes the unique circumstances faced by Cuban immigrants and offers a path to stability and a better future in the United States.
Who Is Eligible for the Cu6 Green Card?
To qualify for the Cu6 Green Card, you must:
Prove Cuban Nationality: Demonstrate that you are a native or citizen of Cuba.
Show Legal Entry into the US: Show that you were inspected and admitted or paroled into the US after January 1, 1959.
Meet Residency Requirements: Be physically present in the United States for at least one year.

What Documents Prove Cuban Nationality?
Proof of Cuban nationality is critical to the Cu6 Green Card application process. You can provide:

Family Benefits Under the Cuban Adjustment Act
The Cu6 Green Card is also available to qualifying family members. Spouses and unmarried children under 21 who are not Cuban nationals can apply for a Green Card, provided the Cuban national meets the CAA requirements. Even if the primary applicant has not yet obtained permanent resident status or has applied under a different category, eligible family members can still seek residency under the CAA provisions.
