The Supreme Court recently lifted an injunction blocking DHS from terminating the CHNV parole program. As a result, DHS has begun sending notices revoking parole and employment authorization for individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela unless they have another immigration status. Affected individuals should check their myUSCIS accounts

Yes. On June 9, 2025, USCIS confirmed to a federal judge that it began assigning agents again to work on CHNV cases. This means the processing pause has been lifted, and active cases may move forward. If your case was pending, continue to monitor your USCIS account for updates.

If you have not received a termination notice by email or in your USCIS account, your parole and work permit (EAD) are still considered valid for now. You can continue working until you receive official notice stating otherwise. However, keep checking your account frequently.

No. Even if your I-94 hasn’t updated yet, once USCIS officially terminates your parole and work permit in writing, you are no longer authorized to work, regardless of what your I-94 says. There might be a delay

Yes. USCIS has instructed recipients to return their revoked EAD cards. Failing to do so may not criminally punish you, but it may affect your immigration record or how your actions are viewed in future applications.

No. If you qualify for TPS, asylum, or another immigration path, you may still apply. CHNV parole termination does not block you from pursuing other legal options, but your eligibility depends on the specific requirements of each program. Seek legal guidance when possible.

No. Even if your employer says it’s okay, once your parole and EAD are officially revoked, you are no longer legally authorized to work. Continuing to work can create legal risks for both you and your employer. Politely inform them of your USCIS notice and stop working immediately.

Yes, if you meet the qualifications for another form of relief (TPS, asylum, special parole requests, etc.), you may still apply. However, timing matters. It’s important to act before being placed in removal proceedings. Seek legal help if you're unsure.
