The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has temporarily paused the issuance of advance travel authorizations (ATAs) for new Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan beneficiaries while it reviews the supporter application process.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said it continues to accept Form I-134A, Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support, but no requests will be confirmed until the review of the supporter application process is complete. “Beneficiaries who have already received an ATA should check their myUSCIS account for updates before making travel arrangements and prior to travel. Individuals with a valid ATA are permitted to travel. ATA processing will restart as soon as possible once this thorough review concludes,” USCIS said.
