A young Cuban woman has captured attention on social media by sharing her swift journey to obtaining permanent residency in the United States. Just 74 days after submitting her application through the U.S. government's humanitarian CBP One program, she was granted her Green Card.
In a TikTok video on her account (@i_am_gutierrez13), she documents the moment she discovers the official letter containing her Green Card in her mailbox. This card confirms her status as a lawful permanent resident in the U.S.
When a follower inquired about the duration of the process following her biometrics and medical check, the Cuban woman replied, “In 74 days.” Another user asked if residencies were currently being issued, to which she answered, “My brother received his in a month, and mine took 74 days. We are CBP One and applied together,” highlighting the efficiency of their process, both handled under the same application.
When questioned about having a court date within the immigration system, she confirmed, “Yes,” but did not provide further details about her previous or current legal status.
This account joins other recent reports from Cuban beneficiaries of the CBP One program who have succeeded in regularizing their immigration status in notably short timeframes, sparking hope among those still awaiting their outcomes.
Understanding the CBP One Program for Cuban Immigrants
What is the CBP One program?
The CBP One program is a humanitarian initiative by the U.S. government intended to streamline the immigration process for eligible individuals, offering a faster path to legal residency.
How long does the CBP One process typically take?
While timelines can vary, some beneficiaries have reported receiving their permanent residency in as little as 74 days, as demonstrated by the case of the Cuban woman and her brother.
Are all applicants guaranteed a quick processing time?
Not necessarily. Processing times can differ based on individual cases and circumstances, although many have experienced expedited results through the CBP One program.
