The United States of America and the Republic of Cuba have agreed on January 12, 2017 to modify and end the special parole policy for Cuban nationals who reach the territory of the United States (commonly referred to as the wet foot-dry foot policy), as well as the parole program for Cuban health care professionals in third countries.
The United States, consistent with its laws and international norms, will now apply to all Cuban nationals the same migration procedures and standards that are applicable to nationals of other countries.
