What is a humanitarian parole?

A humanitarian parole is a temporary immigration status granted by the U.S. government on a case-by-case basis. In Hawaii, it allows an individual to enter the United States for a temporary period of time due to an urgent humanitarian reason or for a significant public benefit. The individual must demonstrate a compelling reason for their stay in the U.S. and must be able to prove they are not a threat to national security. The most common reason for the granting of a humanitarian parole is to allow an individual to enter the United States to receive medical treatment that is not available in their home country. In Hawaii, the parolee must also demonstrate that they have the financial resources necessary to fund their medical care while in the U.S. Other reasons for humanitarian parole may include visiting family or providing assistance in a community organization or project. Humanitarian parole is granted on a discretionary basis by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It may be granted for a period of up to one year, but may be extended for additional periods of time up to a maximum of three years for medical parole cases. The parole may be revoked at any time if the parolee violates the parole terms or fails to meet the requirements of their parole status.

La paro humanitaria es una excepción a la ley de inmigración que se otorga a personas individuales que de otra manera no serían elegibles para entrar o permanecer en los Estados Unidos. Se otorga por razones humanitarias específicas, como la enfermedad, el bienestar de los familiares, razones religiosas, o motivos educativos. La paro humanitaria es una disposición temporal y normalmente se otorga por un periodo de tiempo corto, a veces tan corto como un día. En Hawái, la parole humanitaria se otorga de acuerdo con el proceso de petición de paro humanitaria del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS). Una persona interesada en solicitarla debe presentar una petición al oficial de USCIS de su área. Si la petición se aprueba, el solicitante puede obtener la paro humanitaria y entrar a Hawái. La paro humanitaria no peude utilizarse como un medio de ingreso permanente a Hawái, ni permite que el solicitante obtenga una tarjeta verde. El individuo con la paro humanitaria solo puede quedarse en Hawái por el periodo de tiempo que se le otorgue.
