Parole of Removed Individuals Who Successfully Appeal Removal Decision

If an individual previously removed from the United States successfully appeals their removal decision, they may be eligible to return to the U.S. through parole authorization. This blog explores the process, eligibility, and key information regarding parole authorization.

What Is Parole Authorization for Returning Removed Individuals?

Parole authorization allows individuals removed from the United States to re-enter under specific circumstances. If an individual successfully appeals their removal decision, they must receive parole authorization from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

ICE determines whether to grant parole and facilitate the individual’s return. If ICE agrees, it will send a parole notification to the relevant U.S. consular section for processing.

The Process of Parole Authorization for Returning Individuals

When ICE facilitates the return of a previously removed individual, these steps occur:

1. Notification to Consular Section: ICE notifies the U.S. consular section, authorizing the individual’s return and ensuring all procedures are followed.
2. Prompt Case Processing: The consular section processes the case promptly after receiving the notification, following the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) procedures.
3. Contact ICE Public Advocate: The consular section advises the individual to contact the ICE Public Advocate for further assistance and proper case management.

Contact Information for Assistance

Individuals should contact the ICE Public Advocate for assistance, particularly in initiating the process. Furthermore, the ICE Public Advocate helps address concerns and navigates the process of returning to the United States after a successful appeal.

Key Considerations for Parole Authorization

• Discretionary Approval: Parole authorization for returning individuals is discretionary. ICE reviews each case individually to determine whether parole is appropriate based on the specific circumstances of the appeal.
• Limited Duration: Parole authorization is typically granted for a limited period, and individuals must comply with all conditions set forth by ICE and other relevant authorities. It does not confer any immigration status or long-term benefit.
• Follow Procedures Carefully: Individuals seeking parole after a successful appeal must follow the procedures outlined by ICE and the consular section. Prompt and proper compliance is essential for ensuring a successful return.

Why Is Parole Authorization Important for Removed Individuals?

Parole authorization helps individuals who challenged their removal from the United States and succeeded. It allows them to return temporarily and resolve their status. They can apply for other immigration benefits or complete necessary legal steps. Parole provides a clear and structured process. It ensures that individuals with valid reasons for returning to the U.S. can do so while complying with immigration laws. This measure is crucial for those whose removal was found unjust or incorrect. It offers them a fair chance to address their immigration matters.
