This is a notice that the government sent to some people with CBP One parole trying to end their parole early. This situation has been changing rapidly.
How do I know if my CBP One Parole is still valid?
Most people's CBP One Parole is no longer valid. Here is how to check:
If you got a termination letter in March 2026 or later: Your parole ends on the date shown in the letter. Any work authorization you had based on your CBP One parole will also end. If you do not have another pending immigration application or other valid status, you may be put into deportation proceedings.
If you got a termination letter in 2025: Your parole might still be valid for now— unless the expiration date on your original parole document has already passed. However, the government is sending out new termination letters, so you may receive another one soon. Check your mail, and your USCIS online account if you have one. You can also search for your updated electronic Form I-94 on this government website using your passport information or A number for “Document Number”.
What happened?
In 2025, the government tried to cancel CBP One parole early. Immigrants challenged this in court, and in March 2026, a judge said the way in which the government attempted to end CBP One Parole early was illegal.
But starting in March 2026, the government is sending out new termination letters, meaning most people who received CBP One parole likely do not have valid parole status at this time. If you receive a new letter, your parole ends on the date shown in that letter.
What if I have another immigration application pending besides parole?
If you already have another pending immigration application such as asylum, that application remains valid and you can continue with it, even if your parole is terminated. You are not required to leave the U.S. if you have already applied for asylum and your application is still pending. You are also not required to leave the U.S. if you have another status such as TPS.
If you have a work permit that is not based on parole, that work permit also remains valid.
If you have a case in immigration court, your case is still active until the judge makes a decision. You are not required to leave the U.S. until the judge makes a decision.
What if I do not already have another pending immigration application?
You may want to consider applying now, if you are eligible. Some people with parole could be eligible for asylum or other options. However, submitting a new immigration application can be a complicated decision that depends on your specific circumstances. Every time you complete a new application, you are providing updated information to the government that they may not have already.
