The case of the Cuban Deivy Alemán Oropesa, recently deported from the United States, appears to be progressing after months of uncertainty for his family.
The information was revealed by the journalist Javier Díaz from the channel Univisión 23 Miami, who reported that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) notified Alemán's wife, Yisel Miguel Sarduy, of the request for additional evidence regarding their marriage, a crucial step in the family reunification process.
Yisel, who is a U.S. citizen, submitted a petition on behalf of her husband shortly after he left the country voluntarily, following a directive from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ordering him to leave U.S. territory last September.
The case has garnered public attention due to the delicate health condition of their daughter, Keira, who requires scheduled heart surgery in April 2026.
The family hopes that Deivy can return before the operation, with the support of lawyers and a request to expedite the process for humanitarian reasons.
"We are making progress, I have faith that something good will happen and that he will be here before the operation," Yisel said during a video call with her husband, broadcast by Univisión.
Meanwhile, Yisel expressed her gratitude for the support from the Cuban community in the United States, which has contributed with donations through a GoFundMe campaign to help her cover rent and other expenses while she focuses on caring for her daughter.
Although there is still no set date for the possible interview or approval of the case, the notification from USCIS represents a significant step forward for this Cuban family separated by migration.
