Ester Ricardo: Entry Visas

Charter Airline Eager Dept: She queued up early outside the office of a charter airline eager to book a flight to Miami as soon as possible. My niece invited me, so I m going on a family visit, said Ms. Ricardo, who plans to be in Florida for around six months. I m not going to stay forever. I have a daughter here, according to Globe and Mail. Control over who can travel now largely shifts to other governments, which will make their own decisions about granting entry visas. Cubans, like people in most other developing countries, will still find it difficult in many cases to get visas from wealthier nations like the U.S and it s a tangible benefit for people like Ester Ricardo, a 68-year-old Havana resident who had been granted a U.S. tourist visa but denied an exit permit. And there have been signs that even islanders in sensitive roles or open opposition to the Communist government will be included, a key litmus test of the reforms scope. Two well-known Cuban dissidents said they were told they will now be allowed to travel after being blocked multiple times in the past. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
