Cuban Adjustment Act Approvals Collapse 99.7% as Pending Cases Top 342,000

Approval rate for Cuban Adjustment Act residency applications fell from 98.7% in 2024 to 23.7% in 2026, a 99.7% drop in approvals, with pending cases exceeding 342,000. This marks a sharp reversal of long-standing US policy toward Cuban migrants, likely reflecting a deliberate administrative shift. The change could alter migration flows and bilateral dynamics with Cuba, though the underlying policy rationale remains unstated.
