The new $1,000 fee is intended to strengthen accountability and prevent misuse of the immigration parole process.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced the implementation of a $1,000 fee for foreign nationals granted parole into the U.S. The fee, which applies to initial and renewed parole under the Immigration and Nationality Act, is intended to improve transparency and deter abuse of the parole system.
“Through the implementation of this new fee, President Trump and Secretary Noem are guaranteeing that foreign nationals, who wish to stay here, have skin in the game and do not exploit the system. This immigration parole fee notice is another tool to stop the degradation of our immigration system and restore law and order to our country,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will collect the fee with annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. According to DHS, the policy is designed to promote accountability while maintaining statutory exemptions for specific categories of parole.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Noem to be led by God as she heads the Department of Homeland Security.
- For U.S. immigration officials as they implement policies to deter the abuse of asylum and the immigrant parole system.
