Humanitarian Parole

Humanitarian parole is used sparingly to bring someone who is otherwise inadmissible into the United States for a temporary period of time due to a compelling emergency.
USCIS may grant parole temporarily:

• To anyone applying for admission into the United States based on urgent humanitarian reasons or if there is a significant public benefit
• For a period of time that corresponds with the length of the emergency or humanitarian situation

Parolees must depart the United States before the expiration of their parole.  You may submit a request for reparole, which must be approved by USCIS. Parole does not grant any immigration benefits.

Requirements for Parole

• Anyone can file an application for humanitarian parole.
• You may file an application for parole if you cannot obtain the necessary admission documents from the Department of State
• You cannot use parole to avoid normal visa-issuing procedures or to bypass immigration procedures. As noted above, there must be an urgent humanitarian reason or significant public benefit for the parole to be granted
• To see if you can obtain the necessary admission documents from the Department of State, see the “Department of State Visa Information” on the right

Filing for Parole

To file for parole you must:

• Complete a Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, and Include the filing fee for each parole applicant
• Complete a Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, for each applicant in order to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge
• Include detailed explanation and evidence of your circumstances

If you are represented by an attorney, he or she must file a Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative.
