Implementation of Changes to the
Haitian Family Reunification Parole
Process
Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice of changes to Haitian
Family Reunification Parole.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the Secretary of Homeland Security
(Secretary) has authorized updates to
modernize Haitian Family Reunification
Parole (HFRP). HFRP provides a lawful,
54635
safe, and orderly pathway for certain
Haitians to seek parole into the United
States, allowing them to reunite with
family as they wait for their immigrant
visas to become available so they may
apply to adjust status to lawful
permanent resident (LPR). The Secretary
has authorized these updates to HFRP in
light of technological advancements and
process efficiencies created since the
HFRP’s inception in 2014. Every step of
the updated process will be completed
online with the exception of a medical
exam by a panel physician and the
parole determination made upon arrival
at an interior U.S. port of entry (POE).
DHS will begin using the Form
I–134A, Online Request to be a
Supporter and Declaration of Financial
Support, for this process on August 11,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In 2014, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) launched
HFRP to expedite family reunification
through lawful, safe, and orderly
channels of migration to the United
States, increase existing avenues for
lawful migration from Haiti, and help
Haiti in its recovery from the long-term
impacts of the January 12, 2010
earthquake that devastated the country.1
Under HFRP, the U.S. Government
(USG) invites certain eligible United
States citizen (U.S.C.) and LPR
petitioners to file a request and initiate
consideration for parole for certain
family members in Haiti who are the
beneficiaries of an approved Form I–
130, Petition for Alien Relative. Since it
was established in 2014, HFRP has
allowed certain beneficiaries of familybased immigrant petitions that were
approved on or before December 18,
2014 to request a discretionary grant of
parole to enter the United States up to
approximately two years before their
immigrant visas become available,
