About this service
Re-parole is for someone who was already granted parole into the United States and now needs that authorized stay extended before it runs out, using the same Form I-131 that's used for several other travel-document requests. This is different from requesting parole for the first time or seeking a travel document as part of a pending Green Card application — re-parole assumes an existing grant that's expiring or has expired, and asks the agency to extend it under the parole category you were already admitted under. Because parole categories (humanitarian, urgent public benefit, or program-specific) carry their own rules, what needs to be shown to justify an extension varies by category. DocPrep prepares the I-131 for a re-parole request and organizes the documentation showing your continued eligibility under your original parole basis.
Who this may apply to
- Individuals with a current grant of parole that is expiring soon or has already lapsed
- Parolees under a humanitarian or urgent-need parole category who still need to remain in the U.S.
- Individuals admitted under a program-specific parole category seeking to continue their authorized stay
What DocPrep can help prepare
- Preparing Form I-131 specifically as a re-parole request tied to your existing parole grant
- Organizing evidence that supports continued eligibility under your original parole category
- Reviewing your current parole expiration date and explaining general timing considerations for filing before it lapses
- Checking the completed request for consistency with the basis under which you were originally paroled
How it works
- 1
Confirm your parole category
We review your original grant of parole to identify the category and terms it was issued under.
- 2
Check your timeline
We look at your current parole expiration date so the request can be filed with appropriate timing.
- 3
Prepare Form I-131
We complete the re-parole request based on your original grant and current circumstances.
- 4
Organize supporting evidence
You provide documentation showing your continued eligibility under the original parole basis.
- 5
Review and file
You review the completed request package before it's submitted.
Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- Copy of your original parole approval notice or document
- Current government-issued identification
- Evidence supporting continued eligibility under your original parole category (e.g., program enrollment, humanitarian circumstances)
- Passport or other travel document, if available
- Any prior USCIS or government agency correspondence about your parole status
Important notes
- This service is for extending an existing parole grant, not for requesting a travel document as part of a pending adjustment of status case — that's a separate service.
- Re-parole is discretionary; the agency that granted your original parole decides whether to extend it, and extension is not guaranteed.
- When you file relative to your current parole expiration date matters and can affect the outcome, so confirm your dates carefully before submitting.

Related questions
If you were previously granted parole into the United States under an eligible category and your authorized stay is expiring, you may be able to request re-parole to extend it. We help prepare Form I-131 and organize supporting documentation for the request. Re-parole is granted at the discretion of the relevant government agency and is not guaranteed, and filing timing relative to your current parole expiration matters — confirm dates carefully.
Advance Parole is a travel document, requested on Form I-131, that allows certain individuals — most often people with a pending adjustment of status application — to travel outside the U.S. and be considered for re-entry without abandoning their pending case. It does not by itself guarantee re-entry; the decision to admit you is still made by a Customs and Border Protection officer at the port of entry.
Travel documents should be requested and, in most cases, approved before you leave the United States — leaving while your request is still pending can be treated as abandoning it, depending on your category. We help you understand general timing considerations for your situation, but exact processing timeframes are set by USCIS, so it's best to plan well ahead of any travel.
Processing times are set by USCIS, the immigration court, or the relevant government agency, not by DocPrep. You can check current USCIS processing times using our Check Status tools or on the official USCIS website.
