The HOPE Act allows certain alien veterans to be paroled into the United States to receive health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The HOPE Act, or Healthcare Opportunities for Patriots in Exile Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit the Secretary of Homeland Security to parole certain alien veterans into the United States. These veterans must be outside the U.S., having been ordered removed or having voluntarily departed. Parole is available for those seeking health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, provided they are not inadmissible due to certain criminal convictions. Parole is temporary and does not constitute admission into the U.S.
