“98% of Nicaraguan applications to the Parole program are being approved,” the diplomatic delegation wrote in its Twitter social network account.
Until the end of January, some 800 Nicaraguans had benefited from the United States under the new immigration program.. This allows the regular entry by air of 30,000 citizens of Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti each month. The data was obtained by the CNN news network and disclosed on its website.
