The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), detailed a New Set of Rules in the Parole program, that allows Migrants from: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, to access an Expedited process to enter the Country Legally.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website, 30,000 Non-Citizens will obtain Authorization each month, to seek Parole on a Case-by-Case basis.
The New Rule says that Migrants who have claimed Refugee Status in another Country may Not apply for the Program.
"An individual is ineligible to be considered for parole under these processes if that person is a dual national or permanent resident of, or holds refugee status in, another country," DHS said.
In Order to Qualify for the CHNV Parole, a Person must be Outside of the U.S., be a National of One of the Four Countries listed, or be an Immediate Family Member: Spouse, Common-Law Partner, and/or Unmarried Child under age 21, who is Traveling from an eligible Person from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela.
And, Individuals that Apply for the CHNV Parole, must have an Approved U.S. based Supporter and possess an Unexpired Passport.
The Parole Program was created in October of 2022, but only Venezuelans were able to Apply. It was extended in January 2023, to include Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans.
According to the DHS, over 460,000 People have Arrived Lawfully to the U.S. under this Parole Process through the End of May of 2024.
"Lawful pathways, combined with strong enforcement, are effective at reducing irregular migration to the United States and preventing migrants from putting their lives in the hands of smugglers," said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas (D) last year, as the Parole process was extended to include Cubans and Haitians seeking Asylum.
