The Trump Administration has announced a significant pause on all immigration applications filed by individuals paroled into the United States under the following Biden-era programs:
- CHNV Program – Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans
- Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) – Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion
- Family Reunification Parole Program – Certain nationals from Colombia, Ecuador, Central America, Haiti, and Cuba
This administrative pause, enacted on February 14, 2025, halts the processing of all pending benefit requests, including:
- Asylum applications
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
- Adjustment of status (Green Cards)
- Work permit applications (Form I-765)
- Family-based petitions (Form I-130)
- Naturalization requests
While immigration officers can continue working on these cases, they cannot finalize any approvals until the pause is lifted. The administration cites concerns about fraud, national security, and public safety as the primary reasons for this action.
What This Means for You:
- Individuals under these programs remain in temporary status without a path to permanent residency until the review concludes.
- Those without valid immigration status may face removal if parole status expires.
