The full explanation
The law says parole is not an admission to the country. When its purpose has been served, the person returns to the situation they were in and their case continues like that of any other applicant for admission. Under the regulation, parole ends automatically if the person leaves the country or the authorized time expires.
An example
Héctor entered on parole and his arrival record has an expiration date. To learn what options he has before that date, he looks for a representative accredited by the Department of Justice.
