Ecuadorians can now apply to the program for Family Reunification in the United States (Parole Process). This was announced by the Foreign Minister of Ecuador, Gustavo Manrique.

Ecuadorians can now apply for the Family Reunification program in the United States.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Ecuadorians and their immediate family members can be considered for humanitarian parole for a period of up to three years while they apply to become legal permanent residents.

Ecuadorians seeking to apply for the Family Reunification program in the United States must meet certain requirements.

The requirements:

-Ecuadorians must have family members who are US citizens or legal permanent residents.
-Qualified beneficiaries must be outside the United States.
-Must meet medical requirements
– Undergo a background investigation
– Not have already received an immigrant visa.
-To access this family reunification process, it must be demonstrated that there are urgent humanitarian reasons or a significant public benefit.

Ecuadorians who benefit from this US program will be able to apply for employment authorization while waiting for the immigrant visa to become available. They will later be able to apply for permanent residence.
