Recently,  DHS announced a Family Reunification Parole Process for Ecuador. This parole process applies to certain Ecuadorian nationals who are beneficiaries of an approved I-130 petition. To apply for this process, the petitioner of an approved I-130 must first receive an invitation from the Department of State. The petitioner can then file an application to be a supporter for the I-130 beneficiary and qualifying family members. USCIS states that individuals will be considered on a case-by-case basis with humanitarian and significant public benefit reasons in mind. Individuals can be paroled for up to three years under this process and can request employment authorization.
