The USA and our community needs pilots. Just like the USA is in need of doctors and nurses. In most cases people trained in these professions can get entry into the USA. Check out Public law 89-236 passed with bipartisan support. I for one, welcome another pilot to the USA.
Also keep in mind that someone coming from Cuba to the USA is covered under Public Law 89-732.
It seems that the US laws may be on the side of Martinez being able to legally become a USA citizen.
