Is parole considered an admission to the U.S.?

  1. Yes, it is considered an admission.

  2. No, it is not considered an admission.

  3. It depends on the duration of stay.

  4. It is considered a temporary visa status.

The correct answer is: No, it is not considered an admission.

Parole is indeed not considered an admission to the U.S. under immigration law. When someone is granted parole, they are allowed to enter the U.S. for a limited purpose, such as urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, but this does not equate to an official admission. Admission typically implies that an individual has been formally admitted to the country and possesses a status that allows them to remain, such as a visa holder or lawful permanent resident. Instead, parole serves as a temporary permission to stay in the U.S., which can be revoked. Thus, choosing the option that asserts parole does not constitute an admission accurately reflects the legal definition and implications of parole status within the context of U.S. immigration law.
