Through humanitarian parole, a person who is not legally allowed to be in the US is given a temporary visa to enter the country due to exceptional cases. Learn more about these cases below.
What is Humanitarian Parole?
Humanitarian parole is a mechanism for someone who might otherwise be denied entry to the United States to do so on a case-by-case basis because of exceptional circumstances.
Temporary humanitarian parole may be granted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to somebody who is:
- Requesting entry into the United States for urgent humanitarian reasons; or
- A person whose entrance will have a significant positive impact on society.
Humanitarian parole is given for a brief period equal to the duration of the relevant emergency or humanitarian requirement.

Conditions for Humanitarian Parole Applications
- Anyone can apply for humanitarian parole applications.
- You can apply for humanitarian parole if the Department of State does not give you the required entry paperwork.
- It’s crucial to have a humanitarian emergency when requesting parole, or a large public benefit must be approved. Parole cannot be utilized to replace, evade, or bypass immigration procedures or visa application requirements.
How to Submit an Application for Humanitarian Parole
In the US, there are three ways to apply for humanitarian parole:
- Complete an application for the Travel Document form, and attach the application fee for every parole claimant
- Complete an Affidavit of Support form for every candidate to demonstrate and ensure that you will not become a public charge.
- Send in a thorough justification and supporting documentation for your case or circumstance.
How to Make a Re-Parole Request
You must apply for re-parole at least ninety (90) days before your arrival or departure records (I-94) expire.
When requesting a parole extension through USCIS, you should:
- Already have your USCIS humanitarian parole
- Fill out and apply for a travel document
- When submitting the request, remember to include the filing fee.
- Complete and submit the Affidavit of Support form.
- Attach a copy of your Arrival/Departure Report, which was given to you after being paroled to the US.
If Parole is Denied, is there an Appeal Process?
No, you cannot take a parole denial appeal to a court or other authorities. An immigration officer’s judgment is binding and executory. However, suppose you later learned any new information pertinent to your parole request. In that case, you may deliver the latest documents and updated supporting evidence following the rules for applying for parole.
Humanitarian Parole for Medical Purpose
You must provide these documents to apply for humanitarian parole for medical reasons;
- A medical professional’s statement detailing the diagnosis, prognosis, and expected length of treatment
- An explanation of why therapy is not available in your home country or a neighbouring country
- The estimated cost of the procedure and information on how to pay for the procedure
- Information about how you will pay to travel back to your home country
