This post is part II of our immigration post titled "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to Enter the United States - Part I".
This requirement does not apply to immediate family members (spouse, common-law partner, or unmarried child under the age of 21) of an eligible national of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela with whom they are traveling.
In addition, a potential beneficiary is ineligible for advance authorization to travel to the United States as well as entrance into the United States under these processes if that person:
Does not pass national security and public safety vetting or is otherwise deemed not to merit a favorable exercise of discretion
Has been ordered removed from the United States (deported) within the prior five years or is subject to a bar to admissibility based on a prior removal order (denied re-entry into the United States)
Has crossed irregularly into the United States, between the Points of Entry, after the date the process was announced (for Venezuelans, after Oct. 19, 2022; for Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans, after Jan. 9, 2023), except individuals permitted a single instance of voluntary departure pursuant to INA § 240B, 8 U.S.C. § 1229c or withdrawal of their application for admission pursuant to INA § 235(a)(4), 8 U.S.C. § 1225(a)(4) will remain eligible
Has irregularly crossed the Mexican or Panamanian border after the date the process was announced (for Venezuelans, after Oct. 19, 2022; for Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans, after Jan. 9, 2023)
Is Cuban or Haitian and has been interdicted at sea after April 27, 2023
Is under 18 years old and not traveling through this process accompanied by a parent or legal guardian
If you are from Venezuela, certified extensions of passport validity are accepted to meet the requirement of a valid passport. If a beneficiary's passport validity has been extended, the expiration date of the extension should be reflected as the passport expiration date. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not authorize travel if the beneficiary's passport or extension have expired.

Consistent with the National Assembly decree of May 21, 2019, certain expired Venezuelan passports remain valid. A Venezuelan passport remains valid if:
It was issued before June 7, 2019 (even if expired before this date), without a passport extension ("prórroga"); is considered valid and unexpired for five years beyond the expiration date printed in the passport
It was issued before June 7, 2019 (even if expired before this date), with a "prórroga" issued before June 7, 2019; is considered valid and unexpired for five years beyond the expiration date of the “prórroga”
It was issued before June 7, 2019 (even if expired before this date), with a "prórroga" issued on or after June 7, 2019; is considered valid and unexpired through the expiration date of the “prórroga” or for five years beyond the expiration date printed in the passport, whichever is later
It was issued on or after June 7, 2019, without a “prórroga” is not considered valid beyond the expiration date printed in the passport
It was issued on or after June 7, 2019, with a “prórroga" issued on or after June 7, 2019; is considered valid and unexpired through the expiration date of the “prórroga”
Children under the age of 18 traveling without their parent or legal guardian are not eligible for advance authorization to travel or entrance into the United States under these processes. Upon arrival at a U.S. port of entry (POE), a child who is not traveling with their parent or legal guardian may be transferred to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as required by law under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008.
Since they are ineligible to pursue travel authorization under these processes, children who are not traveling with a parent or legal guardian but are coming to the United States to meet a parent or legal guardian may instead seek entrance into the United States through the standard Form I-131 entrance into the United States (parole) process. In the Form I-131 entrance into the United States process, children who wish to travel without a parent or legal guardian will need written permission from all adults with legal custody of the child (including parents or legal guardians) to travel to the United States.
Evidence to accompany the Form I-131 will need to include the duration of the stay in the United States and evidence of relationship between the child and the parent or legal guardian in the United States. If the legal guardian is providing the written permission, the requestor must include proof of legal guardianship issued by a government authority. In addition, the application should include a statement about the relationship of the child to the person filing the Form I-131, and if they intend to provide care and custody of the child in the United States or reunite the child with a parent or legal guardian in the United States.

There is important information to know about living in the United States after being granted access into the United States. After you are allowed entry into the United States, you are allowed to apply for limited employment authorization from USCIS. To apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), you must open an account with USCIS (my.uscis.gov), submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, using the (c)(11) category code with the required fee, or apply for a fee waiver through USCIS.
The United States encourages you to apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) using Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and following the form instructions. If you request an SSN in Part 2 (Items 13.a-17.b) of your Form I-765, and it is approved, USCIS will electronically transmit that data to the Social Security Administration (SSA), and Social Security Administration will assign you a Social Security Number and issue you a Social Security card.
Social Security Administration will mail your Social Security card directly to the address you provided on Form I-765. Social Security Numbers are generally assigned to people who are authorized to work in the United States. Social Security Numbers are used to report your salaries to the government and to determine your eligibility for Social Security benefits.
If you do not request a Social Security Number on your Form I-765, you can apply for a Social Security Number after you receive your Employment Authorization Document from USCIS using the instructions on Social Security Administration’s Social Security Number and Card webpage.
If you are staying in the United States for more than 30 days, you must report your physical address in the United States. If your address changes after you enter the United States, you must notify USCIS within 10 days of the change. You can do so in the following ways:
Using USCIS’ online change of address form
Through your existing USCIS online account (if you have an account)
Changing your address online will update the address on file with USCIS for each pending application, petition, or request for which you provide a receipt number when filling out the Online Change of Address form. It is important to include the receipt number for any cases pending with USCIS in your address change request, so that USCIS can update the address associated with those cases.
USCIS will mail secure documents to the address on file. You can find the receipt number on the receipt notice (Form I-797C, Notice of Action) that USCIS issued after you filed your application, petition, or request. USCIS send receipt notices to the address listed on the application, petition, or request.
If you have already been allowed entrance into the United States, your entry will automatically be terminated (ended; cancelled) if:
You depart the United States (without an Advance Parole Document before traveling outside the United States)
Your entry period expires
Department of Homeland Security may also decide to terminate your entry to the United States at its discretion for other reasons, such as violating any laws of the United States.
The United States expect you will leave the country when your permission to be in the United States (parole) expires. If you stay in the United States after your parole expires, officials who encounter you may refer you to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for immigration proceedings (deportation).
If the United States grant you travel authorization, you may present it only once for travel to the United States to seek entrance to the United States at the U.S. port of entry. After you are paroled into the United States, if you want to leave the United States and then return as a parolee, you must request an Advance Parole Document by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, before traveling outside the United States.
If you leave the United States without getting an Advance Parole Document, your permission to enter the United States (parole) will be terminated when you depart. For information on how to apply for an Advance Parole Document while you are in the United States, please see the USCIS’ Form I-131 page.
