CHNV  

• This program is for current or prospective sponsors and beneficiaries arriving in Michigan through the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan Paroles Program (CHNV). DHS has announced processes through which nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and their immediate family members, may request to come to the United States in a safe and orderly way. Qualified beneficiaries who are outside the United States and lack U.S. entry documents may be considered, on a case-by-case basis, for advanced authorization to travel and a temporary period of parole for up to two years for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. 

FRP 

• The family reunification parole (FRP) processes are available by invitation only to certain petitioners who filed an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of a principal beneficiary who is a national of Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, or Honduras, and their immediate family members. These processes allow an eligible beneficiary to be considered for parole into the United States on a case-by-case basis while they wait for their family-based immigrant visa to become available 
   

Referrals to attorneys for legal representation 

• Clients or families who are from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti or Honduras that want to apply for asylum for the first time, arriving to the US after January 1, 2023, can request a consultation with Olga, or they can contact one of the non-profit immigration agencies or a private attorney.
