Humanitarian Parole
do you have an urgent humanitarian reason to enter the u.s.?
Humanitarian parole allows individuals to enter the United States temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or when their presence provides a significant public benefit. At our firm, we assist clients in preparing strong, well‑documented parole requests that meet the legal standards established under Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
What is a humanitarian parole?
Humanitarian parole is a temporary authorization to enter the United States for individuals who do not otherwise have a visa or legal pathway to come to the country. USCIS will approve parole only if:
- There are urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit justifying entry; and
- The applicant merits a favorable exercise of discretion after all factors are evaluated.
Urgent Humanitarian Reasons
USCIS does not provide a single definition for “urgent humanitarian reasons.” Instead, officers evaluate all of the circumstances surrounding each case. Common factors considered include:
- The urgency and time-sensitive nature of the situation
- The impact on the individual’s health, welfare, or well-being
- The degree of suffering that would occur if parole is denied
Examples of situations that may qualify:
- A need for critical or emergent medical treatment not available in the Home country
- Travel to the U.S. to support or visit a family member in an end-of-life medical situation
- Circumstances requiring immediate action for the safety or well-being of the beneficiary
Each category of request may involve different considerations, and we guide applicants in documenting the type of urgency relevant to their situation.
