Question 18:

What is immigrant parole?

Immigrant parole is a discretionary determination by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows certain individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to the United States to enter the country temporarily on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. It is granted on a temporary basis and does not result in a legal status in the U.S. The individual may be required to leave the country when the reason for parole is no longer present.
