The CHNV parole program, which allows migrants from four countries (Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela) to receive work permits and a two-year authorization to live in the U.S., has seen its share of setbacks in the past. In July, the program was temporarily halted after an internal investigation by Homeland Security revealed a substantial fraud.
Nevertheless, it was resumed in late August, with the Biden Administration stating it strongly believes the plan helps deter migrants from the benefited countries from entering unlawfully into the country.
