Form I-94 with a parole stamp in the upper right corner is evidence of parolee immigration
status. If the parolee does not have a Form I-94, then a parole stamp in the unexpired
foreign passport is sufficient evidence of parole status.
Generally, the stamp shows:
-
•
a “Parole Unit” designation or the stamp header “PAROLED;”
-
•
a purpose of parole (e.g., “Public Interest”) or a class of admission indicating parolee
status (e.g., CP or OP); and
-
•
a port of entry, action date, and inspector stamp number.
An I-94 or unexpired foreign passport with a parole stamp may show a handwritten departure
number when Customs and Border Protection (CBP) electronically assigns the alien an
I-94 number in their system.
If the parolee shows an I-94, the handwritten departure number supersedes the preprinted
number. The preprinted number may or may not be crossed out.
