DHS Announces Family Reunification Parole Process for Ecuador

DHS announced a new family reunification parole process for certain nationals of Ecuador whose family members are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and who have received approval to join their family in the United States. Specifically, Ecuadorian nationals and their immediate family members can be considered for parole on a case-by-case basis for a period of up to three years while they wait to apply to become a lawful permanent resident.

On October 18, 2023, USCIS notes that: Petitioners must receive an invitation to participate in this process, and invitations have not been issued yet under the family reunification parole process for Ecuador. We will update this webpage with additional information when we start the family reunification parole process for Ecuador.
