If a noncitizen has received parole, what can they do after that period expires?

  1. They must leave the U.S. immediately.

  2. They can apply for re-parole.

  3. They can switch to a tourist visa.

  4. They must go through consular processing.

The correct answer is: They can apply for re-parole.

When a noncitizen receives parole, it allows them to enter or remain in the United States for a specific period due to urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Once that period expires, the noncitizen has the option to apply for re-parole. This process allows individuals to seek an extension or a new grant of parole based on their circumstances, providing them an opportunity to stay in the U.S. if they can demonstrate the need for further humanitarian assistance or public benefit. This choice highlights the possibility of maintaining a legal status in the U.S. through the parole process rather than being forced to leave. Re-parole can offer a critical lifeline for individuals whose situations may have changed or evolved and who still need to be present in the country for compelling reasons while they work on their immigration matters. Other options do not allow for such flexibility after parole expires, as they often require leaving the country or undergoing complex processes that may not apply to the individual's situation.
