Welcome to our Immigration Services Blog

Parole in Place is a new program announced by the President, to let some people stay in the U.S. and work toward getting a green card. It is for family members of U.S. citizens. To check if you can apply yet, go to the USCIS website. 

Who qualifies for Parole in Place?

You may qualify if:

• by June 17, 2024 you have lived in the U.S. for at least ten years 
• you were legally married to a U.S. citizen by June 17, 2024 
• you are here without admission or parole (you came here without permission and you are "undocumented")
• OR you are the child of someone who qualifies and you are also here without admission or parole 

Some types of crimes or immigration problems will disqualify you. 

How do I apply for Parole in Place?

Check if the program has officially started, before you apply. Don't try to apply until the government sets up the forms, fees, instructions, etc. While you wait, get your documents ready, to prove you qualify. This includes:

1. Documents to prove you have been living in the U.S.
2. Documents to prove you are married to a U.S. citizen (or that you are the stepchild of a citizen and your parent qualifies)
3. Other proof to show the government you should be granted this benefit.
