USCIS Guidance on the Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program

9/29/21 AILA Doc. No. 21101881. Humanitarian Parole

USCIS updated its guidance on the Haitian Family Reunification Parole (HFRP) program, noting that it will continue the program after it was terminated in 2019. Particpation in the program is currently by invitation only.

USCIS posted the following alert:

ALERT: USCIS will continue the Haitian Family Reunification Parole (HFRP) program. DHS has reversed its 2019 announcement that it would terminate this program.

If you are a current parolee, please read the Current Parolees in the United States section below for important information on time-sensitive steps.

Participation in the HFRP program is by invitation only, and we are currently assessing when new invitations might be issued. The USCIS field office in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, permanently closed in December 2019 and, due to COVID-19, the Department of State continues to provide only limited services at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti. We will update this webpage when the next round of HFRP invitation notices is issued.
