U.S. Government implements Humanitarian Parole for Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti.

U.S. Government implements Humanitarian Parole for Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti.

The U.S. government announced that, as of January 6, 2023, it will open a program to improve the quality of life of people in some countries with socio-economic problems. The beneficiary countries are Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. This program will benefit people who are from these countries and do not have citizenship or permanent residency in another country, and their immediate family members such as spouses and children under 21 years of age. Through a sponsor who is lawfully present in the United States, these individuals will be able to obtain a travel document to enter the United States for two years.

Those who have been deported within the last 5 years, who entered illegally through Panama or Mexico after January 6, 2023, or who are citizens or permanent residents of another country will not be eligible for this program. The U.S. government has also indicated that persons of these nationalities who attempt to enter the U.S. illegally will be returned to Mexico. For more information about this program you can contact our main office at 954-306-6921, or by WhatsApp at +1 (954) 329-632.

Who can apply to become a Support Person?

As stipulated by the USCIS, U.S. citizens, legal residents, temporary legal and conditional permanent residents, non-immigrants with legal status, asylees, refugees and persons with temporary stay permits and persons with Temporary Protected Status may apply for this process.

In addition, the citizen must pass the background and security investigation and demonstrate the financial capacity to receive the foreign national during his or her stay in the country.

Who can be beneficiaries?

For this particular case, family members and citizens of the countries mentioned above may be beneficiaries, as long as they comply with the process. In this case, spouses and children under 21 years of age, except that children under 18 years of age must travel with a parent and/or guardian..

These are the steps to follow in the petition process:

  • Financial sponsorship: the Support Person must complete Form I-134A for each person he/she wishes to assist. The USCIS will be in charge of the study and follow-up of each person within the petition.
  • Submit biographical information: the beneficiary must create and complete a profile on the myUCSIS platform to certify that he/she meets the eligibility requirements once the Support Person has been approved.
  • Sending a request through the Móvil One app: once the myUCSIS profile is completed, the foreign citizen must enter the information in the Móvil One app and attach an updated photo.
  • Advance Authorization to travel to the United States: once the above is completed, the citizen will receive a notification to travel to the United States with a 90-day validity from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
  • Temporary Permit at the port of entry: Approval for entry will be made at the port of entry once the citizen presents documents justifying entry for humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.
  • Temporary Permit to Stay: once this process is completed, the citizen will be granted a Temporary Permit to Stay with a term of up to two years and may apply for the possibility of working by means of Form I-175.
