The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published a notice in the Federal Register terminating the parole program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) effective April 24, 2025.

Background

The parole program was established by President Biden in 2022 for Venezuelan nationals, and it was expanded in 2023 to add nationals of Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. These programs allowed nationals of these countries to request advance authorization to travel to the US to be considered at US ports of entry for parole into the United States.

The claimed goals of the CHNV parole programs were to discourage illegal entries by providing a pathway for certain individuals to enter the US for a temporary stay of up to two years, and to reduce burdens on border communities by requiring travel directly to US interior locations.
