immediately, jurisdiction over humanitarian parole has
been transferred from the INS Rome District Office to the

jurisdiction was transferred from the INS Bangkok District
office to INS HQ on March 1 and from the INS Mexico City
District Office to INS HQ on June 1. Accordingly, all
humanitarian parole requests/recommendations should now be
sent to INS headquarters. We will update 9 FAM 42.1
shortly to reflect this change.
