Has anybody had any trouble loading their case page? it shows that the decision was posted, when I try to go on the website, the case shows up and then disappears. Not sure if there's an error right now with the website or if this just means it was denied?

On the travel authorization, it doesn’t state what spot number you’ve secured. It only states that you’ve been approved for travel and to be prepared to show the authorization on your account. You als

"The process is capped at 24,000 beneficiaries. After this cap is reached, DHS will not approve additional beneficiaries..." It seems like DHS will only approve 24,000 travel authorizations. I don't

Ohh. No, under this process the beneficiary only receives a Travel Authorization to seek parole in USA. That Travel Authorization document would state when would be the expiration day, which is 90 day

Hey all, my in laws and friend will make their flights to the U.S. a little after midnight, so I'll post with an update on questions they were asked. Just a heads up, if anyone takes a bus into Colombia, makes sure you receive a stamp in your passport; my in laws were not allowed to board their Cucuta - Bogota flight without it, and had to return to the border to get it.

Does anybody know anyone that has been granted parole at customs without the travel authorization? I applied for two family members. One without visa got their travel approved, other without a visa got the travel denied. Would they be turned away at the border?

How would they get on a plane without documentation?

Update everyone; my husband's friend made it to his layover safely and is on his last flight to Seattle. He said going through customs/immigration in Dallas was pretty easy. He was only asked maybe 2 or 3 questions, and waited maybe an hour or so. So pretty good experience for him! Unfortunately the same cannot be same for my brother and mother in law. They're currently stuck in Bogota for two weeks because MIL did not have an approved vaccine. They tried to show Colombian staff there that the notice states she can travel even with the unapproved vaccine, she would just restart the series here, but the staff was not having it, and they were denied boarding 😡. MIL is going to try and get Moderna today, and we'll count 14 days from today. So if you're traveling through Colombia, please make sure you have an approved vaccine, otherwise you WILL be denied boarding, despite what the I-134 says. I'll update again once they're able to board in a few weeks.

I am sorry to hear that.

I have seen a bunch of people with the same question. They don't get travel authorization because this is extraordinary process for people who, in normal circuntances, wouldn't be able to travel to the US, someone who has a visa is already allowed to travel to the US... This tiktok account has been talking about it

Oh god. I am so sorry to hear this. What vaccine did she got in Vnzla?

 

Guys, Here is a list of Covid Vaccines. Only the ones approved for the OMS are valid in Colombia. Basically Sinopharm or Sinovac if you got it in Venezuela. 

 

Also, I called my airline and they told me Colombia is requesting 3 doses... Although the guy who talked with me over the phone with me was not really sure about this. I don't think is true.

That is not how it has been done with Ukrainians and makes little sense so could be true

Did ukranians with visa got their travel authorization? There's many many Venezuelans with visas who have not gotten theirs 😕 It's heartbreaking.

Yeah this is annoying. Thank you for sharing that. Did scroll through some and saw that they did admit people with a visa...so I guess it'll just be up to CBP once my parents come here, IF they even want to risk it at this point.
