Immigration News: Parole Process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans 

USCIS has updated the review process for the Parole Process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.

The U.S. government is granting travel authorization for up to 30,000 people each month under this parole process. However, because the amount of supporters that have submitted an I-134A is significantly higher than 30,000 per month, USCIS will change their review process effective May 17, 2023.

Under the new review process, USCIS will randomly select about half of the monthly total, regardless of filing date, from the entire pending workload of Form I-134A to determine whether the case can be confirmed. They will then review the other half of the monthly total of Forms I-134A based on when the case was submitted under the first-in, first-out method, which prioritizes the oldest Forms I-134A for review.

Potential supporters should not submit a duplicate Form I-134A for the same beneficiary. USCIS will not accept a duplicate Form I-134A if a previously submitted Form I-134A between the same potential supporter and beneficiary is pending. If USCIS doesn’t confirm a Form I-134A, but a supporter believes they meet the requirements to be a supporter under the process, they may file a new Form I-134A and submit additional information as evidence.

Under this updated review process, processing times will vary. Potential supporters may monitor the status of a Form I-134A they filed in their USCIS online account or check the most recent status in Case Status Online.
