The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced changes to the immigration status of citizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Migrants entering the country with «humanitarian parole» will have 24 months to adjust their status to any available legal program.

If they fail to obtain asylum or other benefits, they will be required to leave the United States once their authorized period expires.

Otherwise, they will face deportation proceedings once their parole expires.

Extension of Humanitarian Parole and Program Requirements

This program was extended to Venezuelans in October 2022 by the Biden administration.

In 2023, citizens from Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua were also included.

To access «parole,» migrants must have a financial sponsor in the United States.

The sponsor must meet specific criteria and undergo biometric screenings to help the migrant adjust their immigration status.
