In reality, what the government recently announced is not a new program but a new fee for individuals who are paroled into the U.S. through humanitarian parole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">On October 16, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed it will impose a $1,000 fee for immigrants granted humanitarian parole. This policy is linked to the USCIS funding and immigration fee changes that began under H.R. 1 in 2025 \u2014 making parole fees non-waivable in many cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In short: there is no new \u201cparole program\u201d. This is a change in how much parole costs (for those eligible) \u2014 not a new pathway or benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Key Facts About the New Parole Fee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Fee amount: $1,000 for a humanitarian parole grant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Non-waivable: This fee is generally non-waivable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Effective timing: The fee applies under the new USCIS regulations tied to H.R. 1 and recent DHS directives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Parole remains discretionary: Parole is still granted on a case-by-case basis for \u201curgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.\u201d The new fee does not change that core principle under INA \u00a7 212(d)(5).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Past parole programs being reversed: Some categorical parole programs (e.g. CHNV \u2014 Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) are being terminated and parole grants revoked if no legal status is secured.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Because parole is not a permanent immigration status, any individual relying on parole must either secure a lawful status (e.g., through family, employment, asylum, etc.) or risk losing eligibility to remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Why Scammers Are Taking Advantage of This<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The confusion between \u201cnew program\u201d vs. \u201cnew fee\u201d is exactly what scammers love to exploit. Here are some red flags to watch for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Promises of \u201cearly access\u201d or \u201cspecial lists.\u201d Scammers might tell you there is a secret new parole program you can join \u2014 for a fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Personas que piden dinero antes de presentar una solicitud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Payment by gift card, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers. These are common scam payment methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Third parties claiming to have inside contacts at DHS or USCIS. No person outside those agencies can guarantee or expedite parole or status changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Impersonation of DHS or USCIS agents. The DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) has repeatedly warned about impersonation schemes targeting immigrants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><br>If someone contacts you offering \u201caccess to the new parole program,\u201d demanding money or personal documents \u2014 be extremely cautious. Always verify through official sources or ask for counsel from a licensed immigration attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Tips to Avoid Being Victimized<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Use official government sources. Always check DHS, USCIS, or Federal Register notices for new policies rather than trusting social media or emails from unknown parties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Never pay before you file. Legal representation is one thing; paying someone to \u201cget you into a program\u201d is often a scam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Check credentials. Ask for the attorney\u2019s bar license number or law firm information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>What Should You Do Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you believe you may be eligible for humanitarian parole (or are already on parole and need help securing status), here are your next steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Do not act on unsolicited offers. If someone claims you qualify for a new parole program, pause and double-check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Seek a licensed immigration attorney. A qualified lawyer can evaluate your case, assess eligibility, and protect you from fraud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Gather documentation. Be prepared to provide evidence of identity, relationships, humanitarian need, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">At the Immigration Law Office of Nahirobi Peguero, our experienced immigration attorneys have helped countless clients navigate complex policies, avoid fraudulent offers, and legally pursue relief.
