If an assessment under section 2205(b) results in a determination that a noncitizen is eligible for parole in accordance with this section— the designated processing center may accept a completed application for parole filed by the noncitizen, or on behalf of the noncitizen by a parent or legal guardian; and the Secretary may grant parole under section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5) ) to such noncitizen. A noncitizen shall be eligible for parole under this section if he or she— is a national of El Salvador, of Guatemala, of Honduras, or of any other Central American country whose nationals the Secretary has determined are eligible for parole under this section; is the beneficiary of an approved immigrant visa petition under section 203(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1153(a) ); and an immigrant visa is not immediately available for the noncitizen, but is expected to be available within a period designated by the Secretary.
Applicants for parole under this section shall be required to submit biometric and biographic data in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary. An alternative procedure shall be provided for applicants who are unable to provide all required biometric data because of a physical or mental impairment. The Secretary shall utilize biometric, biographic, and other appropriate data to conduct security and law enforcement background checks of applicants to determine whether there is any criminal, national security, or other ground that would render the applicant ineligible for parole under this section.
The security and law enforcement background checks required under paragraph
(2)shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Secretary before the date on which an application for parole may be approved.
