Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is Terminating Family Reunification Parole (FRP) Processes

Written on .

DHS announced the termination of all categorical family reunification parole programs for nationals of Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras and their immediate family members. Parole under these programs will expire on January 14, 2026, unless the individual has a Form I-485 pending that was postmarked or e-filed by December 15, 2025. For individuals with pending I-485s, parole remains valid until the earlier of the parole expiration date or a final decision on the application. Termination of an alien’s period of parole under the FRP programs also will revoke their employment authorization based on that parole. Employers should monitor their E-Verify Status Reports to determine whether any employees are affected by this termination.
