for Nicaraguans, Cubans, Haitians, and Venezuelans
Suspended in early August due to numerous suspicions of fraud, the program will continue to operate under “new and improved” protocols.
HAVANA TIMES – After a four-week suspension, US authorities have reactivated the humanitarian parole program for Nicaraguans, Cubans, Haitians, and Venezuelans, announced the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on August 29.
The humanitarian parole program allows citizens from these countries to live and work legally in the United States for two years. To apply, interested individuals must have a sponsor who is either a resident or citizen of the United States, among other requirements. The temporary suspension of this regular migration mechanism occurred in early August, when Homeland Security reported numerous suspicions of fraud in sponsor applications.
“New and Improved” Protocols
“DHS has incorporated additional vetting of sponsors residing in the United States to strengthen the integrity of the processes,” officials stated.
