On October 4, 2024, USCIS announced that there would be no process to renew parole for Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) parolees.
Can CHNV Parolees Renew Their Parole?
Contrary to speculation, CHNV parolees can apply to renew their parole despite USCIS not offering a specific process for it.
- Any individual parolee can apply to renew their parole.
- CHNV parolees can file for re-parole through Form I-131.
IRAP has developed a practice advisory for legal practitioners to navigate the implications of the USCIS announcement on their clients.
What Does the Practice Advisory Offer?
- Clarifies misconceptions about the USCIS announcement.
- Explores alternatives for CHNV parolees beyond parole renewal.
The advisory links to USCIS training modules on parole and re-parole and assesses the impact of the Biden administration’s stance on parole renewals for CHNV parolees.
