However, the US State Department stressed that the US will continue to support safe, regulated and orderly immigration from Cuba, as well as full implementation of existing immigration agreements between the two countries. The US State Department also affirmed that normalizing relations is a long and complex process, requiring continued interaction and dialogue between the two governments.

Under a 1966 regulation, the US Attorney General has the discretion to grant any Cuban citizen permanent residency in the US after one year in the US, without requiring annual quotas for immigrants.

After nearly 7 months of negotiations with 4 rounds of talks, the process of normalizing relations between the US and Cuba has reached a historic milestone with the two countries agreeing on July 1 to reopen their embassies at the end of this month./.
