No, there's a "wet foot, dry foot" policy. If they find you on the sea, then you are returned to Cuba. If you make it to land, you are taken as a refugee. After a year, the person can adopt resident status, and then after I think 5 years, they are eligible to become citizens.

No I don’t think so they would still have to eventual take a test to become a citizen. However if they make it to land with out being caught they can not be deported back to Cuba.

There are 2 strategies right here: if the guy marrying the foreigner is a US born citizen it takes 3 years for their companion to develop right into a citizen. in the event that they have been born someplace else and became a US citizen later, it takes 5 years for their companion to develop right into a citizen.

That should be ended, too. Cuba's got lots of potential, someday when they decide to be civil they could be rolling in legitimate money. But, it's up to them, stay out there and rot on an island, or join the 21st century...time's a wastin'...

No...but if they make it to land, they are given politcal asylum. They still have to pass the same tests, etc., as all other immigrants in order to earn citizenship.

If they reach the USA they have ''refugee status.'' This is not automatic citizenship.
