Many people who were granted parole to enter the United States, or received a parole document at or after entry, are receiving notices saying that their parole status, and any work permit related to it, is being terminated.
While the notice says you should depart immediately, you may be entitled to pursue applications for immigration benefits or the right to stay. Many people who have already filed applications or are in court have permission to remain in the U.S. while those cases are pending. In some instances, these notices were issued in error. If you have received this notice, you should speak to a trusted immigration legal services provider about your options.
On April 14, 2025, a federal judge blocked the termination of parole for those that came under a parole program from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela, for those whose parole was terminated with a general notice without any reasons that are specific to your case. If you fit this category and received a generic notification by email or through your USCIS online account, your parole remains valid. If you are not sure whether you fit this category, speak with a trusted legal services provider.
