RAD­HI­CA DE SIL­VA

With Trinidad and To­ba­go’s mi­grant reg­u­lar­i­sa­tion ex­er­cise now of­fi­cial­ly closed, some mi­grants who say they at­tempt­ed to com­ply with the process are plead­ing for a fi­nal op­por­tu­ni­ty to be reg­is­tered.

Among them is Venezue­lan na­tion­al Zudelys Qui­ja­da, who has been liv­ing in Trinidad for the past four years. While her hus­band, Emilio Her­nan­dez, and their 10-year-old son, Je­sus, suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed the reg­is­tra­tion process, Qui­ja­da said she nev­er re­ceived an ap­point­ment de­spite reg­is­ter­ing on­line short­ly af­ter the ex­er­cise opened.
