Understanding Humanitarian Parole Under INA § 212(d)(5)
Humanitarian parole is a discretionary authority granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA § 212(d)(5)), allowing the U.S. government to temporarily admit individuals who would otherwise be inadmissible, for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. This provision is codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5). It is not a visa category but a temporary admission for a specific purpose, such as emergency medical treatment, family reunification in crisis, or participation in legal proceedings. The parole period is typically limited, and the individual must depart the U.S. upon expiration unless they adjust status through another pathway. Founded in 1997 by Mr. Sris, former prosecutor — Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. brings 120+ years combined legal experience.
