Categorical humanitarian parole program

*A categorical humanitarian parole program, also known as private sponsorship parole program, is a type of humanitarian parole that applies to a specific group of people, rather than being decided on a case-by-case basis. These designations are created in response to particular crises, such as war, natural disasters, or political instability, and allow individuals from designated populations to apply for parole under a streamlined process with shared criteria. Past examples include programs for Ukrainians, Afghans, or Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.

Each type of categorical humanitarian parole program comes with its own specific eligibility requirements. For example, both the U4U and CHNV parole programs require U.S. based financial sponsors.
