US Ends Fast-Track Entry for Cubans, Haitians, and More
Published Date: 3/25/2025
Notice
Summary
The government is ending special parole programs that let people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela enter the U.S. more easily. This change affects those individuals and their close family members, stopping new parole approvals and related work permits. The move starts soon and means fewer people can use these programs, but it helps keep the system fair and clear.

CHNV parole programs terminated
DHS is ending the categorical parole programs for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members that DHS announced in 2022 and 2023. If you are in those groups, the special parole pathway created by those announcements will no longer be available.
No new CHNV parole approvals
