USCIS Publishes Notice on "Arriving Alien" Cubans and Parole

In response to a class action complaint filed in Rabelo v. Mayorkas, 1:21-cv-23213-BB (S.D. Fla.), USCIS published a notice informing certain Cuban nationals that they may file I-290B motions for up to one year (or a new I-485) if they were denied Cuban Adjustment for lack of a parole document. This benefits a large group of "arriving alien" Cubans whom DHS released from custody with I-220A recognizance orders or ICE bonds. The complaint alleged that these individuals could only have been legally released by parole, and thus are eligible to adjust.
