Western Hemisphere: Cuba: Mariela Castro Espin's Visa Application (Taken Question)

Taken Question

Office of the Spokesperson

Washington, DC

Question Taken at the May 15, 2012 Daily Press Briefing

May 15, 2012

QUESTION: Did the U.S. grant a visa to Mariela Castro Espin, daughter of Raul Castro? Were certain laws waived that prevent officials of the Cuban Government from receiving visas?

ANSWER: We do not discuss specific details of individual visa cases; visa records are confidential under U.S. law. The rules and procedures for adjudicating visa applications are established under U.S. law and Department regulations. Each visa request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. There is no blanket ban on issuing visas to Cuban Government officials.
