New humanitarian parole for family reunification
Source: USCIS United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in its article Humanitarian Family Reunification Permit Processes.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced new family reunification permit processes.
for certain nationals of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras who are the primary beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and their qualified immediate relatives. We are also updating the existing family reunification permit processes for Cubans and Haitians.
Once these new processes come into effect,
DHS will send invitations to participate in these processes to certain petitioners whose Forms I-130 have already been approved.
If you receive an invitation, you may file a Form I-134A, Online Petition to Become a Supporting Person and Statement of Financial Support, for each beneficiary.
If DHS confirms that your Form I-134A is sufficient,
conduct security screening of the primary beneficiary and immediate family members and consider them for advance travel authorization on a case-by-case basis.
If DHS issues advance travel authorization for the principal beneficiary and the principal beneficiary's immediate family members, they may come to a U.S. port of entry to apply for humanitarian parole.
If they are granted such permission, they may wait in the United States for their immigrant visa to become available and then file an application to adjust their status to that of a lawful permanent resident.
(obtain a permanent resident card, also known as a Green Card).
In addition,
DHS has implemented processes through which nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, and their qualified immediate family members, can apply to come to the United States in a safe and orderly manner.
