A young Cuban woman living in the United States couldn't help but share with her TikTok followers the happy news that U.S. authorities had granted her permanent residency after a long wait.
“I just got home from work and look what was in my mailbox, my husband and I’m at my residence. I’m so happy with this news,” she said in a clip posted on her @greter211 account, in which she appears showing the two envelopes containing the necessary documents. She sent a message of encouragement to those still anxiously awaiting their green cards and thus finalizing their legal status.
"I want to tell everyone that, for those who said the process was stalled, now you see it's not. The app isn't working; at least it didn't update my case, and neither did my husband's, but they should have hope, everything will come," the young woman explained.
The video caught the attention of many people who are waiting for the documents that will allow them to legally reside in the United States. Some congratulated the young woman on the good news, while others shared their very personal experiences with this legalization process.

"Goodness, God, we still have hope. Well, the application doesn't say anything, well, it doesn't say anything to me at all. Two hundred and something days, at least there's hope." "Congratulations, I don't know you, but we're all waiting for this great opportunity and we should be happy when one of our own achieves it." "Congratulations, it's the best thing that can happen to all Cubans in this country." "I've been waiting for two years and nothing, I'm a two-month parole." "Congratulations. My application didn't reflect my case either, but it arrived anyway," are some of the comments from internet users.
His statement takes on significant significance in a context where many Cubans in the United States are grappling with delays and uncertainties in their immigration procedures, especially through procedures such as Form I-485 or humanitarian parole, in which status updates are frequently delayed or fail to reflect concrete changes in individual situations.
