SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: 

Section 11 of Executive Order 13767 

of January 25, 2017, ‘‘Border Security 

and Immigration Enforcement 

Improvements, (Section 11) provides 

that ‘‘[i]t is the policy of the executive 

branch to end the abuse of parole and 

asylum provisions currently used to 

prevent the lawful removal of removable 

aliens.’’ Section 11(d) instructs DHS to 

‘‘take appropriate action to ensure that 

parole authority under section 212(d)(5) 

of the [Immigration and Nationality Act 

(‘‘INA’’)] (8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)) is 

exercised only on a case-by-case basis in 

accordance with the plain language of 

the statute, and in all circumstances 

only when an alien demonstrates an 

urgent humanitarian need or a 

significant public benefit derived from 

such parole.’’ 

On February 20, 2017, then-Secretary 

of Homeland Security Kelly issued a 

memorandum entitled ‘‘Implementing 

the President’s Border Security and 

Immigration Enforcement Improvements 

Policies.’’ In that memorandum, 

Secretary Kelly stated that ‘‘[t]he 

statutory language authorizes parole in 

individual cases only where, after 

careful consideration of the 

circumstances, it is necessary because of 

demonstrated urgent humanitarian 

reasons or significant public 

benefit. . . .[i]n my judgment, such 

authority should be exercised 

sparingly.’’ Additionally, it stated that 

‘‘[t]he practice of granting parole to 

certain aliens in pre-designated 

categories in order to create immigration 

programs not established by Congress, 

has contributed to a border security 

crisis, undermined the integrity of the 

immigration laws and the parole

process, and created an incentive for 

illegal immigration.’’ 1

Accordingly, USCIS undertook a 

review of existing categorical parole 

programs. USCIS is announcing the 

termination of HFRP and FWVP 

programs and is revising the 

Instructions for Form I–131 to remove 

references to and provisions regarding 

those programs. USCIS is also revising 

the form to remove references to the 

Cuban Family Reunification Parole 

(CFRP) Program. 

A. HFRP 

DHS established the HFRP program in 

2014 as an exercise of its discretionary 

parole authority to permit certain 

eligible Haitians in Haiti who are the 

beneficiaries of approved family-based 

immigrant petitions to join their family 

members in the United States for an 

initial period of three years while they 

wait for immigrant visas to become 

available. 79 FR 75581 (Dec. 18, 2014). 

Consistent with INA section 212(d)(5), 8 

U.S.C. 1182(d)(5), the decision to parole 

a particular alien into the country was 

a case-by-case, discretionary 

determination. 

B. FWVP 

In 2016, USCIS determined that 

paroling qualified applicants under 

FWVP would generally yield a 

‘‘significant public benefit’’ (recognizing 

sacrifices of Filipino World War II 

veterans). 81 FR 28907 (May 9, 2016). 

USCIS also determined that grants of 

parole under the FWVP program would 

often address urgent humanitarian 

concerns (recognizing the advanced age 

of these veterans and the need for care 

by their alien family members). Id. 

Consistent with section 212(d)(5), 8 

U.S.C. 1182(d)(5), the decision to parole 

a particular alien was a case-by-case, 

discretionary determination. 

C. Explanation for Change 

For both the HFRP and FWVP 

programs, DHS broadly exercised its 

statutory parole authority for multiple 

members of a narrowly defined group. 

Notwithstanding the perceived benefits 

of these categorical parole programs 

when they were established, this 

Administration undertook a renewed 

analysis. Consistent with Secretary 

Kelly’s February 20, 2017 implementing 

memorandum, USCIS has determined 

that, as a matter of policy, the HRFP and 

FWVP programs do not meet DHS’s 

obligation to narrowly exercise its 

parole authority. 

Therefore, DHS is now rescinding the 

determination that there is a 

presumption that there are significant 

public benefit or urgent humanitarian 

reasons for parole requests from new 

applicants who meet the specific criteria 

established under HFRP and FWVP 

programs. Accordingly, new applicants 

who meet the FWVP and HFRP criteria 

will no longer be presumed to have 

demonstrated that there are significant 

public benefit or urgent humanitarian 

reasons present in their case by virtue 

of meeting HFRP and FWVP criteria. 

USCIS will continue to adjudicate 

requests from current beneficiaries of 

the HFRP and FWVP programs who are 

already in the United States under the 

existing standards of those programs 

and who request a new period of parole. 

II. Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

A. Discretionary Policy Statement 

USCIS established the HFRP and 

FWVP programs through policy 

statements announced by Federal 

Register notice (FRN). 81 FR 28907; 79 

FR 75581. USCIS also revised the 

Instructions for Form I–131 to provide 

instructions and evidence requirements 

to implement the policies. USCIS did 

not change its regulations. 

The HFRP and FWVP programs were 

established using DHS’ discretionary 

parole authority found in INA section 

212(d)(5)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)(A), and 

8 CFR 212.5(c)–(d). An alien does not 

have a right to parole and there is no 

obligation for DHS to grant parole. 

Parole is an exercise of the Secretary’s 

discretionary authority to permit an 

alien to temporarily enter the United 

States for certain reasons on a case-bycase basis for urgent humanitarian 

reasons or for a significant public 

benefit. The APA exempts from its 

requirements for public notice and 

comment general statements of policy, 

‘‘issued by an agency to advise the 

public prospectively of the manner in 

which the agency proposes to exercise 

a discretionary power.’’ Lincoln v. Vigil, 

508 U.S. 182, 197 (1993) (quoting 

Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. at 

302, n. 31 (1979) (quoting Attorney 

General’s Manual on the Administrative 

Procedure Act 30, n. 3 (1947))). The 

termination of the HFRP and FWVP 

programs does not change the statutory 

standard for parole, and parole will 

remain an avenue for DHS to authorize, 

in its discretion, for certain aliens to 

travel to the United States. Therefore, 

terminating the HFRP and FWVP 

programs is exempt from the notice and 

comment requirements of the APA as a 

general statement of policy advising the 

public prospectively of the manner in 

which USCIS will exercise a 

discretionary power. Lincoln, 508 U.S. 

at 197. 

DHS has reviewed this policy change 

and determined that it would be highly 

unlikely to adversely affect the 

substantive rights of some of the 

affected parties. DHS understands that it 

must show that there are good reasons 

for the new policy and acknowledge its 

conscious change of course, and that 

reasoned explanation is needed for 

disregarding facts and circumstances 

that underlay or were engendered by the 

prior policy. FCC v. Fox Television 

Stations, Inc., 556 U.S. 502 (2009) 

(citing Smiley v. Citibank (South 

Dakota), N. A., 517 U.S. 735, 742 (1996). 

Executive Order 13767 instructs DHS to 

take appropriate action to ensure that 

parole authority under section 212(d)(5) 

of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5), is 

exercised only on a case by case basis 

in accordance with the plain language of 

the statute, and in all circumstances 

only when an alien demonstrates urgent 

humanitarian reasons or a significant 

public benefit derived from such parole. 

DHS believes the existing broad 

presumption that there are significant 

public benefit or urgent humanitarian 

reasons to consider parole for new 

applicants who meet the specific preestablished criteria under the HFRP and 

FWVP programs is inconsistent with the 

Executive Order and Secretary Kelly’s 

implementing guidance directing that 

the policy of DHS is to exercise its 

parole authority narrowly. 

1. HFRP 

The Federal Register notice 

establishing HFRP states, ‘‘By 

expanding existing legal means for 

Haitians to immigrate, the HFRP 

Program serves a significant public 

benefit by promoting safe, legal, and 

orderly migration to the United States. 

Furthermore, it supports U.S. goals for 

Haiti’s long-term reconstruction and 

development. Once paroled into the 

United States, HFRP Program 

beneficiaries will be eligible to apply for 

employment authorization, and those 

who are able to work may contribute to 

Haiti’s post-earthquake reconstruction 

and development through remittances.’’ 

79 FR 75581. 

DHS has determined Haiti has made 

significant progress recovering from the 

2010 earthquake and subsequent effects. 

With U.S. and international support for 

recovery, reconstruction, and 

development programs, Haiti has 

achieved significant improvements in 

basic health indicators, agricultural 

production, and jobs creation, according 

to the U.S. Department of State. 98 

percent of 1.5 million people displaced 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
84364 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 248 / Monday, December 28, 2020 / Notices 

following the earthquake have been 

resettled as of 2020, according to the 

International Organization for 

Migration. In light of these 

determinations, DHS has determined 

that the HFRP program no longer serves 

a significant public benefit for new 

applicants. 

2. FWVP 

The Federal Register notice 

establishing FWVP states, ‘‘Recognizing 

the contributions and sacrifices of 

Filipino veterans who fought for the 

United States during World War II and 

their families, USCIS has decided to 

implement the FWVP policy. In many 

cases, ‘‘paroling these family members 

may also allow them to provide support 

and care for elderly veterans or their 

surviving spouse. . . For certain 

Filipino American family members, this 

wait can exceed 20 years’’ 81 FR 28097. 

Further, ‘‘In light of the circumstances 

described above, among other 

considerations, USCIS believes that the 

parole of qualified applicants who 

establish on a case-by-case basis that 

they are eligible for consideration under 

this policy and merit a favorable 

exercise of discretion would generally 

yield a ‘significant public benefit.’ 

Additionally, considering the advanced 

age of World War II Filipino veterans 

and their spouses, and their increased 

need for care and companionship, 

grants of parole under the FWVP policy 

would often address urgent 

humanitarian concerns. In all cases, 

whether to parole a particular alien 

under this policy is a discretionary 

determination that will be made on a 

case-by-case basis.’’ Id. 

DHS has determined that the FWVP 

program is inconsistent with the policy 

decision to narrowly exercise DHS’ 

parole authority in making 

determinations of significant public 

benefit. With regard to urgent 

humanitarian concerns, DHS has no 

data substantiating that the admission of 

participants in the FWVP program 

routinely addresses an urgent 

humanitarian concern. An eligible alien 

may request parole even if the veteran 

and spouse the alien is petitioning to 

support are both deceased. The parole of 

an alien may not actually be yielding 

any significant public or humanitarian 

benefit in such instances. For these 

reasons, DHS believes that new FWVP 

program applications are more 

appropriately adjudicated through an 

individual application instead of a 

categorical program with a presumption 

of a significant public benefit or urgent 

humanitarian concern. 

B. Reliance Interest 

DHS has taken into account serious 

reliance interests that may be 

engendered by the 2014 and 2016 HFRP 

and FWVP policies. With respect to 

initial and pending applicants, DHS has 

determined that potential applicants 

cannot reasonably be determined to 

have taken an action in detrimental 

reliance on DHS or USCIS continuing 

these programs. It is not reasonable that 

potential applications would make 

major changes in their lives or incur 

significant expenses in anticipation that 

DHS would continue these programs in 

perpetuity and that they would be able 

to apply and be approved. With respect 

to current HFRP and FWVP parolees, 

DHS acknowledges the reliance interest 

of those aliens who are not yet lawful 

permanent residents and will make a 

new period of parole under the criteria 

of these programs available to them, on 

a case-by-case basis, to ensure 

continued eligibility. Further discussion 

of these reliance interests follows. 

1. Reliance Interest of HFRP Parolees 

For HFRP, DHS has determined that 

any alien who has not yet applied for 

the HFRP program is unlikely to have 

incurred costs or been harmed based on 

relying on DHS continuing that policy 

because the petitioner must receive an 

invitation to apply, and USCIS has not 

issued any such invitations since 2016. 

Thus, although DHS is changing its past 

pattern and practice, the program has 

not been open for new applicants for 

four years, and a potential applicant 

will not be surprised by the change and 

will not have suffered harm as a result 

of acting in reliance on the continuation 

of the HFRP program. Haitian 

petitioners with an approved Form I– 

130 or their Haitian beneficiary relatives 

should not complete a Form I–131, 

incur expenses, and take actions in 

reliance on USCIS being able to process 

their application when they cannot do 

so on their own accord and without an 

invitation from USCIS. Nevertheless, 

DHS is formally announcing in this 

notice that the HFRP program will be 

terminated to provide advance notice to 

parties who may be affected. To the 

extent that an alien has a pending Form 

I–131 for HFRP as of the date of this 

notice, USCIS will process and 

adjudicate that request to completion. 

USCIS welcomes public comments on 

all of the effects of this change in policy. 

With respect to granting a new parole 

period (‘‘re-parole’’) for HFRP 

beneficiaries already paroled into the 

United States, DHS acknowledges that a 

current beneficiary has significant 

reliance interest in the continuation of 

the program as they were when they 

were granted parole. A current parolee 

decided to accept the USCIS invitation 

to apply for parole and expend the time, 

effort, and expense to uproot his or her 

life and move to the United States as a 

parolee, instead of staying in Haiti and 

waiting for an immigrant visa to become 

available. When the program was 

established, USCIS informed HFRP 

beneficiaries that it was their 

responsibility to seek re-parole in the 

United States until eligible to adjust 

status and they should apply for reparole at least 90 days before parole 

expires. USCIS informed approved 

HFRP beneficiaries that, if their 

immigrant visa is still unavailable at the 

time their parole expires, they must 

apply to USCIS for a new parole 

authorization and pay the required fee. 

Therefore, HFRP program beneficiaries 

are expected to apply for lawful 

permanent resident status as soon as 

their immigrant visa becomes available. 

The majority of HFRP beneficiaries will 

have an immigrant visa available at the 

time their parole expires. Given these 

reliance interests, DHS will accept 

requests for re-parole under the existing 

standards of the HFRP program. 

2. Reliance Interest of FWVP Parolees 

For FWVP, DHS has determined that 

an applicant who has not yet applied for 

the FWVP program is unlikely to have 

incurred costs or been harmed based on 

relying on DHS continuing that policy. 

To the extent that an alien is in the 

process of completing and filing a 

request, USCIS will provide two public 

notices of the impending form, policy 

and procedure change. Aliens who are 

currently in the process of completing 

their paperwork may also apply for the 

FWVP program until the date that it is 

terminated, which is when the Form I– 

131 changes go into effect. To the extent 

that applicants who are not yet working 

on, researching, and gathering necessary 

evidence for an application may no 

longer receive parole after this change, 

DHS believes the FWVP program is 

inconsistent with its narrower 

interpretation of the parole authority 

and the public policy goals supported 

by a narrow use of its parole authority 

(as described in Secretary Kelly’s 

memorandum) justify and outweigh any 

minor reliance interests of those aliens 

who may have contemplated filing an 

application for FWVP but have not yet 

done so at the time the program is 

formally terminated. If an alien has an 

I –131 application for FWVP pending as 

of December 28, 2020, USCIS will 

process and adjudicate that request to 

completion. USCIS welcomes public 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 248 / Monday, December 28, 2020 / Notices 84365 

comments on all of the effects of this 

change in policy. 

As for granting re-parole to FWVP 

beneficiaries already paroled initially 

into the United States, DHS 

acknowledges that a current beneficiary 

as well as U.S. citizen petitioners may 

have a significant reliance interest in the 

continuation of the program as it was 

when the alien was granted parole. A 

current parolee decided to avail himself 

or herself to the USCIS opportunity to 

apply for parole and expend the time, 

effort, and expense to uproot his or her 

life and move to the United States as a 

parolee, instead of staying in the 

Philippines and waiting for an 

immigrant visa to become available. The 

beneficiary (the Filipino war veteran or 

his or her spouse) may also have a 

reliance interest. The veteran or spouse 

may have paid the fees and expended 

other resources in contemplation of 

relatives coming to the United States to 

care for them, or may have forgone other 

living situations that were available to 

them if they did not have the care of the 

relative who had been able to join them 

in the US. When the program was 

established, USCIS informed FWVP 

parolees that it was their responsibility 

to seek re-parole in the United States 

until eligible to adjust status and they 

should apply for re-parole at least 90 

days before parole expires. USCIS 

informed approved FWVP parolees that 

if their immigrant visa is still 

unavailable at the time their parole 

expires, they must apply to USCIS for a 

re-parole and pay the required fee. 

Therefore, FWVP program beneficiaries 

are expected to apply for lawful 

permanent resident status as soon as 

their immigrant visa becomes available. 

Given these reliance interests, DHS 

will accept requests for re-parole under 

the existing standards of the FWVP 

program.
