Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA)

The Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) of 1966 is a Cold War era legislation that created a pathway towards permanent legal residency for certain Cuban citizens or natives. Many Cuban asylum seekers formerly subject to the "Migrant Protection Protocols", or "MPP", still find this to be an useful pathway to remain safely in the United States. The materials on this page will assist attorneys representing asylum seekers from Cuba formerly in MPP who may be eligible for adjustment under CAA.
