legally as a us resident you cant , as a costa rican citizen you can. and if you go do it tru Costa Rica ( round trip) you could be fined big time , anyways you would not qualify if you would try to do it by travelling directly from US, as you probably do not have relatives in Cuba to visit and the US would deny the permit to do so. Es algo complicado para las personas que no tienen lazos cubanos ni familiares, aun asi los que visitan Cuba con el permiso de los EU solo lo pueden hacer cada 3 anos/...

According to the State Department, "ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS/TRAVEL TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS: The Cuban Assets Control Regulations are enforced by the U.S. Treasury Department and affect all U.S. citizens and permanent residents wherever they are located."
So yes, the rule about visiting Cuba applies to you too. Technically though, there would be nothing illegal about you setting foot in Cuba. It only becomes illegal the second you spend money there. The only legal way to spend money there is to apply for a special permit through the US government.
Apparently you can get around it by asking to not have your passport stamped, so that US immigration doesn't know that you've been there. The catch in this lies when you re-enter the States, and they don't see any record of where you were for a the time frame that you were there.
Stupid really, the embargo on Cuba.

You could find yourself in a lot of trouble as the State Department might get involved. I think you should put that plan on hold if you want US citizenship. They could possibly turn you down if you go to Cuba.

short answer NO you'll be able to pass to for a optimal of as much as one hundred eighty days out of the previous 365. A Border expert could desire to aid you a plenty shorter time once you pass. Overstaying can effect in you being banned from Canada. you have stayed for one hundred eighty days your 3 hundred and sixty 5 days will ensue in November once you may back start to stay back. that is no longer calendar years. that's the 300 and sixty 5 days (365days) consistent with once you first pass. in case you stayed for shorter sessions you'll be able to desire to pass to as an occasion another month.

No, when you became a permanent resident of the US you said you would obey all the laws of the US. This could effect your status.

As far as Cuba is concerned, you are welcome to visit.
As far as the US is concerned, if they find out, you may be putting your citizenship application at risk.

I understand you have your C. Rican passport. Travel with that.
