With Parole in Place you can remain in the US and get your green card if you are the spouse, child or parent of certain U.S. Armed Forces personnel or veterans.
Parole in Place (PIP) is an immigration benefit that lets you remain in the US if you have a qualified US Army or veteran spouse, parent or child in the U.S.
Yes. A big advantage of Parole in Place is that if you qualify, you may be able to get your green card in the U.S., even if you did not enter the country legally.
Parole In Place also solves the problem of inadmissibility due to illegal entry into the U.S. which is useful for families that have crossed the border without inspection by the U.S. border officers.
It also helps you avoid the unlawful presence 3 and 10-year bars. You can trigger these bars if you are undocumented or have overstayed your visa and you leave the U.S. to obtain a green card abroad.
Parole in Place in not the best choice for a visa overstay. If you entered the US legally and overstayed your visa, you may apply for Deferred Action with the USCIS instead. You would also need a family relationship with a qualified Armed Forces member or veteran too.
To apply for Parole in Place you must show that you have the necessary family relationship with a member or veteran of the Armed forces. In addition, we like to include good reasons and documents to show why our clients want to remain here.
After a grant of Parole in Place, you will receive an I-94 card which serves as a parole or admission document.
If you qualify, you can now apply for a green card or Adjustment of Status here in the U.S. You must still, however, satisfy all the other requirements for legal permanent residency or green cards.
Our law office has successfully obtained Parole in Place and green cards for spouses and widows so we know it can be helpful.
