Notice for Cubans who are “arriving aliens” and who were denied Adjustment of Status Under the Cuban Adjustment Act Based Solely on a Determination that they had met Their Burden of Establishing that they had been Admitted or Paroled [pdf]
On Feb. 23, 2022, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a notice regarding previous denials of adjustment under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CCA) for Cubans designated “arriving aliens” at the border by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and subsequently released pending their removal proceedings. The notice outlined the required procedure for those applicants to seek reopening of their adjustment cases under USCIS’s new policy that such releases from DHS custody constitute “parole” for the purposes of the statute.
