If you are outside of the U.S., you can request entry into the United States based on humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons. Parole allows you, who may be inadmissible or otherwise ineligible for admission into the United States, to be paroled into the United States for a temporary period. Some examples where parole is granted are: to reunite with Family, to care for or otherwise provide support to a seriously or terminally ill relative, protection from targeted harm, etc.
