Beneficiary Assistance

1. You are responsible for receiving, maintaining, and supporting the beneficiary for the duration of their temporary stay in the United States. Describe the resources you plan to use or provide to ensure the beneficiary has adequate financial support to cover their basic living needs.

Response:

As the designated individual responsible for receiving, maintaining, and supporting the beneficiary for the duration of her temporary stay in the United States, I will ensure she has adequate financial support to cover her basic living needs. To achieve this, I plan to utilize various resources, primarily my income. I am a teacher by profession and legally reside in the United States, working two jobs, including overtime, to ensure the beneficiary is well taken care of during her time here. With my good pay and the additional income from the overtime I am working, I have a surplus to assist the beneficiary and other relatives back in Haiti. This surplus proves my capability to support her with adequate financial resources during her stay in the United States. Moreover, I will provide her with access to all of my resources when she arrives here, ensuring she has everything she needs.

The beneficiary will be staying with me at my residence throughout her visit, so she will not have to worry about accommodation expenses. Additionally, I will cover her transportation costs, including the initial flight to the United States and her return trip to Haiti when the situation improves. My intention is to make sure she has everything she needs to feel safe and secure during her stay.

Furthermore, I will ensure that she has access to proper healthcare by including her in my health insurance coverage. This will cover any medical expenses she may incur during her time in the United States. By providing her with comprehensive health coverage, I am confident that her health needs will be met without any financial burden. In terms of daily living expenses, I will allocate a portion of my income to cover food, transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses. I will also assist her in opening a bank account, ensuring that she has access to funds whenever necessary. In this case, I will also deposit some amount into her account. Additionally, I will provide her with a mobile phone and cover the associated costs, enabling her to stay connected and access resources, as needed.

To ensure she feels included and comfortable during her stay, I will provide her with access to all the amenities available to me. This includes access to transportation, food, and other necessities. I will also take her shopping for clothing and personal items as needed, covering the costs to ensure she has everything she requires. Moreover, I will encourage her to participate in social and community activities, which will not only help her feel more at home but will also allow her to explore potential opportunities for education and employment. I will cover any associated costs for these activities to ensure she can fully integrate into her temporary community. Throughout her stay, I will maintain open communication with her, regularly checking in to ensure that she is comfortable and has everything she needs. Any additional expenses that may arise will be promptly addressed to ensure her well-being and peace of mind.

2. You are responsible for ensuring the beneficiary has safe and appropriate housing for the duration of their parole in the United States. Describe how you will ensure that the beneficiary’s housing needs are met, including where the beneficiary will reside during their temporary stay in the United States, if known.

Response:

As the designated individual responsible for ensuring the beneficiary has safe and appropriate housing for the duration of her parole in the United States, I will make sure her housing needs are met by providing her with accommodation in my safe and appropriate home. She will reside in my home during her temporary stay in the United States, and I will ensure she is safe and comfortable throughout her time here.

My house has enough extra rooms with the required facilities to accommodate the beneficiary. The rooms are specious and comfortable for having a good life. Considering that she is female, there are enough resources and facilities in my home to ensure she stays comfortable and safe. It is my priority to provide her with a welcoming and secure environment where she can feel at ease and focus on rebuilding her sense of security and well-being.

Moreover, my homestead is situated in a safe neighborhood, free from noise and any other forms of pollution. There is a park nearby for visit and relaxing. The area boasts adequate security, providing an appropriate rehabilitation ground for healing from the trauma that my beneficiary has experienced due to the violence in Haiti. This safe and peaceful environment will ensure that she can recover and feel secure during her time in the United States.

Accessibility is another key factor. My home is easily accessible by both train and car, making it convenient for my beneficiary to access and carry out her activities during her temporary stay in the United States. This accessibility will enable her to travel safely and efficiently, whether for work, education, or leisure activities.

I will take the necessary steps to ensure her comfort and safety within my home. The beneficiary will have her own private room, furnished with all the essentials to meet her needs. This includes a comfortable bed, storage for her belongings, and a workspace, should she require it. Additionally, I will provide her with access to common areas such as the kitchen, living room, and bathroom, ensuring she feels at home and can maintain her independence.

To further ensure her safety and well-being, I will provide her with a set of keys to the house and detailed instructions on how to operate any security systems. I will also be available to her at all times should she require assistance or have any concerns. Open communication will be maintained to address any issues that may arise promptly.

In terms of transportation, I will assist her in familiarizing herself with the local public transportation system and provide guidance on how to navigate the area safely. I will also be available to provide her with transportation whenever necessary, ensuring she can travel safely and comfortably to her desired destinations. Throughout her stay, I will regularly check in with the beneficiary to ensure that she is comfortable and has everything she needs. Any adjustments or additional requirements that may arise will be promptly addressed to ensure her continued safety and well-being.

3. You are responsible for assisting the beneficiary’s access to available services and benefits such as learning English, securing employment opportunities once authorized to work, enrolling children in school, and helping to enroll for benefits for which they are eligible. Describe what steps you plan to take as part of these responsibilities.

Response:

As the responsible individual, I am committed to assisting the beneficiary in accessing available services and benefits to ensure a smooth transition and successful stay in the United States. I will take the following steps to fulfill these responsibilities, which include helping her learn English, securing employment opportunities, enrolling children in school, and accessing eligible benefits.

Given my background as a professional teacher with two degrees in education, I am well-equipped to assist her in learning English. To facilitate this, I will enroll her in English language learning programs to accelerate her language acquisition. Additionally, I will personally provide English language tutoring to further enhance her learning experience. Given that she already speaks, writes, and reads in French, this will provide her with an added advantage in the American job market.

Once the beneficiary is authorized to work, I will actively assist her in securing suitable employment opportunities. Drawing on my professional experience and network, I will guide her through the job search process, including resume writing, job applications, and interview preparation. I will help her identify job opportunities that match her skills, experience, and career aspirations. Additionally, I will provide guidance on professional development opportunities and career advancement pathways.

If she has children, I will assist in enrolling them in school to ensure they have access to quality education. I will guide her through the enrollment process, including gathering necessary documentation, completing enrollment forms, and arranging school visits. I will also provide information on local schools, including their academic programs, extracurricular activities, and support services. Additionally, I will facilitate communication between the beneficiary and school administrators to address any questions or concerns that may arise.

I will assist her in enrolling for benefits for which she is eligible, including social services. I will guide her through the application process, ensuring that all necessary documentation is completed accurately and submitted on time. By leveraging my knowledge and experience, I will help her navigate the complexities of the social services system, ensuring she receives the support and assistance she needs. Moreover, I will continuously monitor changes in available benefits and update her accordingly to maximize her access to resources.

Given the trauma she has experienced due to the violence in Haiti, I will help her find therapeutic programs to support her healing process. These programs will provide her with the necessary tools and resources to address and overcome trauma-related challenges. By connecting her with qualified professionals and support groups, I will ensure she receives the care and assistance needed to promote her well-being and resilience.

In addition to language learning and employment assistance, I will help the beneficiary find career programs that will further enhance her employability and career prospects. For example, I will assist her in accessing vocational training, apprenticeships, or certification programs that align with her interests and career goals. By participating in these programs, she will gain valuable skills and experience, increasing her competitiveness in the job market and opening up new opportunities for personal and professional growth.

4. A grant of parole is a discretionary determination granted on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Please explain why a favorable exercise of discretion is merited for this individual.

Response:

The beneficiary, currently residing in Haiti, faces daily threats to her safety and well-being due to the pervasive gun violence plaguing the country. The situation in Haiti has made it impossible for her to pursue her education, achieve personal growth, and develop a career. Despite the financial support I have provided, she is unable to access the basic necessities due to the dangerous circumstances. The rampant violence severely hinders her aspiration to pursue education and self-sufficiency. With gang members holding the entire country hostage, the beneficiary is constantly in fear, being on the run due to shootings and fighting for territory. Murder is commonplace, making everyday life a traumatizing experience.

Granting parole to the beneficiary is highly justified due to the urgent humanitarian crisis and the significant public benefit it would provide. She currently lives in Haiti, where she cannot go anywhere due to the everyday gun violence in the country. Even though I sent money for school and food, she still cannot go to get the money to buy the stuff she needs. She wants to go to school to learn and have a career to support herself in the future. However, with these gang members holding the entire country hostage, she cannot do anything.

The beneficiary is an intelligent and ambitious young woman eager to learn and contribute positively to society. However, the current environment in Haiti denies her the security, comfort, luxury, and access to educational opportunities she deserves. By granting her parole to stay temporarily in the United States, she will have the opportunity to breathe freely, live comfortably, and pursue her dreams. Her desire to learn and better herself is evident, and her home country’s lack of security and stability stifles her potential.

Moreover, granting the beneficiary parole will provide her a safe haven and contribute to significant public benefit. As a responsible and caring member of society, my ability to support her financially and ensure her well-being during her stay in the United States will alleviate the burden on public resources. By providing her with accommodation, support, and guidance, she will not be a burden to the state and will contribute positively to the community. Granting her parole to stay in the United States temporarily will provide her with the necessary environment to pursue her education, which will lead to her eventual self-sufficiency. As a professional teacher with two degrees in education, I am fully equipped to support her educational aspirations. I am committed to enrolling her in school, teaching her English, and assisting her in finding employment when authorized. Additionally, I will help her enroll in any eligible benefits, such as healthcare and social services, to ensure her well-being during her stay.

Therefore, considering the urgent humanitarian crisis in Haiti and the significant public benefit that her temporary stay in the United States would provide, a favorable exercise of discretion in granting her parole is highly merited. Providing her with a safe environment, educational opportunities, and support ensures that she can achieve her goals, become self-sufficient, and contribute positively to society. Granting her parole would be a humanitarian act, an investment in her future, and a contribution to the public good.
