Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is working with its interagency partners to allow certain noncitizens from Venezuela and their qualifying immediate family members who lack United States entry documents to submit information through the newly developed CBP Advance Travel Authorization (ATA) capability within the CBP One™ application as part of the process to request an advance authorization to travel to the United States to seek a discretionary grant of parole. Implementation of ATA will require the collection of a facial photograph via CBP One™ from those eligible noncitizens who voluntarily elect to participate in the process. Participation will be limited to those individuals who meet certain DHS established criteria, including possession of a valid, unexpired passport, as well as having an approved U.S.-based supporter.
