We hope this information is useful to Cubans who need to undertake consular procedures in the United States. As you know, this is one of the Latino communities that is the majority in the northern country. Millions of Cubans live in the United States, particularly in South Florida, and need to complete consular procedures to travel to their country of origin and be with their families, among other things.
Cubans in the United States form the largest Cuban community outside their country and the third largest Hispanic community after Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. It is estimated that about 2.3 million Cuban Americans live in the United States, with a significant concentration in the state of Florida.
