U.S. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Record of Determination/Parole Determination Worksheet Alien’s Claimed Name(s) (including AKAs) ___________________________________________ Detention Facility Name and Location _____________________________________ A#(s) _____________________ Field Office ___________________________ This worksheet should be completed in any case where an arriving alien requests parole from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, pursuant to section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) in writing, following a determination by a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum officer that the alien has a “credible fear” of persecution or torture, within the meaning of INA § 235 (b)(1)(B)(v) and 8 C.F.R. §§ 208.30(e)(2)-(3). Such aliens will have been initially processed under the INA’s expedited removal provisions and should have a completed Form I-870 (Record of Determination/Credible Fear Worksheet) in their A-files. The parole decision includes two steps. Step one is a threshold assessment of whether the alien has established identity, that he or she does not pose a risk of flight and that he or she is not a security risk to the U.S. or danger to the community. Step two is a discretionary assessment of whether there are circumstances present in the alien’s particular case that justify parole. In completing this worksheet, ICE Office of Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) personnel should consult the ICE Policy Directive entitled, “Parole of Arriving Aliens Found to have a ‘Credible Fear’ of Persecution or Torture.” Even where an alien does not initially appear to merit parole on one or more grounds, this entire worksheet should be completed. Use blank 8” x 11” paper if additional writing space is required. Include all evidence that supports the decision to parole or not parole the alien with this worksheet. Both Part I and Part II of this worksheet must be completed for all decisions for quality assurance purposes.
