The government sent a notice ending parole early for immigrants who received parole through the “CHNV” program for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. CHNV parole and work permits based on CHNV are now ended.
Immigrants had filed a lawsuit to stop this change temporarily, but on May 30, 2025, the Supreme Court said that the government could end CHNV parole. Immigrants are continuing to fight the lawsuit. Learn more here.
The government says that it plans to deport people who had CHNV parole, if they do not have another pending immigration application. If you do not already have another pending immigration application, you can consider applying, if you are eligible. Some people with CHNV parole could be eligible for asylum, the Cuban Adjustment Act, 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.
