Parole Processing
Processing Website Alert – Parole Processing Times
Normally, the USCIS Humanitarian Affairs Branch adjudicates most parole requests within 90 days of receipt. If you do not submit required evidence at the time of filing or if we need to ask you for additional information, it will take us longer to process your case.
We are currently receiving an extremely high number of requests for parole. While we try to process all urgent requests for parole quickly and efficiently, petitioners should expect to wait significantly longer than 90 days for their parole request to be processed right now. It will take time for us to work through the unprecedented number of parole requests we have received since fall 2021 and return to normal processing times. We are taking the necessary steps to return to target processing times by the end of fiscal year 2023, if not sooner.
