The CHNV parole program (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) ended, and many people received termination and work-permit revocation notices. But ending parole does not erase other options: asylum, family petitions, U or T visas, VAWA, or other relief may apply. Get a legal screening before making drastic decisions.
Quick answer
The CHNV parole program (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) ended, and many people received termination notices and work-permit revocations. But here is what matters: ending parole does not erase other legal options. Many people still qualify for asylum, family petitions, U or T visas, VAWA, or other relief.
What happened
- CHNV parole was canceled, and the Supreme Court (May 2025) allowed the termination.
- DHS sent termination notices and work-permit revocations to many people.
- The CBP One appointment/parole function ended; its functions moved to CBP Home, which the government promotes for self-deportation.
- There has been ongoing litigation: some rulings have required case-by-case review of terminations.
Your possible options
Ending parole is not the end of the road. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for:
- Asylum, if you fear persecution (mind the one-year deadline).
- Family petition, if you have a citizen or resident relative.
- U visa (victims of certain crimes) or T visa (victims of trafficking).
- VAWA, for survivors of abuse by a citizen or resident relative.
- Adjustment of status or other relief.
A legal screening can reveal paths that are not obvious from the outside.
What to do now
- Keep all notices and note important dates.
- Do not sign anything you do not understand.
- Seek legal advice immediately from a lawyer or accredited organization.
- Know your rights in case of an immigration encounter: review know your rights.

Frequently asked questions
Does ending parole mean I have no more options?
Not necessarily. Parole is just one of many forms of presence. Many people who had parole qualify for asylum, family petitions, U or T visas, VAWA, or other options. That is why a legal screening matters so much before acting.
I received a notice revoking my work permit. What do I do?
Do not panic or sign anything you do not understand. Keep the notice, note the dates, and seek legal advice immediately. A lawyer can confirm your situation and whether you have another basis to work or stay.
Should I use the CBP Home app to self-deport?
It is a very serious decision with permanent consequences. Before considering self-deportation, talk to a lawyer, you may have legal options to stay that are not obvious.
Can litigation change my situation?
Yes. There has been litigation over parole terminations, and the rules can change. Stay informed with official sources and your lawyer, and do not assume your case is identical to someone else's.
