Key Status Updates for Humanitarian Immigration Programs

 

The current presidential administration continues to revisit and reshape key immigration initiatives with a particular focus on humanitarian immigration programs as of late. Many individuals and families rely on these programs – such as CHNV Parole, Uniting for Ukraine, and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations – which are facing significant and rapid updates, often with very little notice.

Below is an overview of several major humanitarian immigration programs that are relevant for many employers and their international workers. This chart has been, and will continue to be, updated with new developments, court rulings, and administrative decisions. We encourage individuals affected by these programs to consult with legal professionals and check back often for the latest updates.
