The Central American Minors (CAM) Program

The Central American Minors (CAM) Refugee and Parole Program was established in 2014. The hybrid program allows certain young people from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to safely immigrate to the United States to reunite with a parent or legal guardian who resides in the United States. This advisory gives an overview of the CAM program, including the initial application for refugee or parole status and subsequent re-parole applications for CAM parolees.
