Afghan Nationals on Parole Into the United States

USCIS announced important news on the Afghan parole. Individuals who are outside of the United States may request parole into the United States based on urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons for a temporary period, on a case-by-case basis.

Due to quickly changing circumstances in the region and the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, beneficiaries may experience delays in processing their cases and may need to arrange travel to a U.S. embassy outside of Afghanistan to continue processing their parole request.

Who is eligible to apply?

USCIS may exercise discretion to authorize parole on a case-by-case basis for individuals with urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons to come to the United States for a temporary period. Make sure to submit all relevant supporting evidence to show that the beneficiary qualifies for parole and merits a favorable exercise of discretion.
