The Department of Homeland Security published a notice in the federal registrar on March 25, 2025, announcing the termination of categorical parole for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The termination becomes effective April 24, 2025. Parole is a status that grants authorization to enter the United States, but it is not considered an admission to the United States or a permanent immigration benefit. The termination of parole also terminates employment authorization obtained in connection with parole.
Nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who are present in the United States under parole with no other lawful status or pending application for lawful status will be directed to depart the United States before the final termination date of their parole. The final termination of parole is scheduled for April 24, 2025, unless the individual’s parole expires prior to this date. Remaining in the United States without a parole or lawful status may result in the DHS initiating removal proceedings against the individual. It is possible to apply for other immigration benefits, if eligible, or to seek an individualized determination upholding parole. This notice is the subject of pending litigation.
If you would like to discuss the consequences of this notice on your status and explore alternative options, please call (312) 216-5116 or contact us here.

I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!

I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully.

Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue.

I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her...
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She...

Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the...
Elizabeth helped me file, process and ultimately successfully complete my Naturalization "journey" to become an American citizen. There were bumps on the road as the process is time-consuming, confusing (to me) and frequently frustrating... But Elizabeth (and her staff) were always responsive, clear, knowledgeable and reliable. I am today an American citizen and I would recommend her services to anyone...
We contacted Martha after reaching out 3 immigration lawyers and having terrible experiences. When it comes to immigration issues it is easy to play with peoples’ hopes, Martha was fresh air. Since the first call, Martha was straightforward and realistic, she thoroughly explained the rules that applied, most common/possible outcomes in my case, time frames and the requirements I had...
