Cubans looking to immigrate to the United States legally have a new way to find sponsors through the Welcome Connect page.
The online platform that brings together sponsors in the United States and potential migrants looking for support in this country will reopen this Tuesday, November 21st.
At Welcome Connect you can learn more about probation programs (known as “parole” or “humanitarian parole”), create a profile, and communicate directly with potential sponsors.
Although thousands of Ukrainians have come to the United States this way, since the program opened to Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans and Haitians, not many spots have been available and few have been able To. However, every month there is a new opportunity to try it out.
When do you open the page to find sponsors? Welcome Connect is open for registrations on the third Tuesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. for Cubans and Haitians. Be careful with this schedule. Until the previous month, registration on the site began at 11:00 a.m. Nicaraguans can register at 9 a.m., Venezuelans at 11 a.m. and Ukrainians at 5 p.m.
How can I get a sponsor in the USA?
The most important thing to get a sponsor in the US through Welcome Connect is To on this site.
There you need to create a profile with your basic information and see the sponsors who have already signed up and approved. You can select up to three to send them a message. Please note that sponsors cannot see your profile until you have sent them a message.
According to officials, beneficiaries will receive an email notification when a sponsor is available. You can then contact them via Welcome Connect and decide whether they would like to continue with the process.
“If you have any problems registering, please send an email to [email protected] for help,” they state on their website.
“Welcome Connect is a free platform. You will never be asked to pay to access the Platform, nor will you grant preferential access by paying a fee. “Do not pay money to anyone who claims they can help you find a support person (sponsor) on Welcome Connect in return,” they warn.
