Military Parole In Place Immigration Attorney

At North County Immigration, we understand the unique challenges faced by military families in navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration law. Parole in Place (PIP) is a special program designed to assist immediate family members of U.S. military personnel, veterans, and those in the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve who are unlawfully present in the United States. Our experienced team of immigration attorneys is dedicated to helping you achieve stability and peace of mind through the Parole in Place program.

What is Parole in Place (PIP)?

Parole in Place is a discretionary program implemented by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that allows certain undocumented family members of U.S. military personnel to remain in the United States without the risk of deportation. This program also opens pathways to lawful permanent residency (a Green Card). The primary objective of PIP is to ensure that military service members can perform their duties without the distraction or worry about the immigration status of their close family members.

Eligibility for Parole in Place

To qualify for Parole in Place, the applicant must be an immediate family member of a U.S. military service member or veteran. Eligible family members include:

  • Spouses: The husband or wife of the service member.
  • Children: Unmarried children under the age of 21.
  • Parents: The mother or father of the service member.

The service member must be:

  • Active-Duty Military: A current member of the U.S. Armed Forces.
  • Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve: An individual currently serving in the Selected Reserve.
  • Military Veteran: A former member of the U.S. Armed Forces or Selected Reserve who was previously discharged under honorable conditions.

Benefits of Parole in Place

  • Protection from Deportation: Parole in Place allows eligible family members to remain in the United States without fear of removal. This protection provides much-needed stability for military families.
  • Work Authorization: Applicants may apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), granting them the right to work legally in the U.S. This can significantly alleviate financial stress and contribute to family stability.
  • Pathway to Legal Status: Parole in Place can facilitate the adjustment of status to lawful permanent residency (Green Card). This means that eligible family members can eventually become lawful permanent residents of the United States, opening the door to citizenship.

    How long does the Parole in Place process take?

    The processing time for Parole in Place applications can vary, but it generally takes several months from the time of submission to receive a decision from USCIS. Each case is unique, and factors such as completeness of documentation can affect the timeline.

    What documentation is required for a Parole in Place application?

    Required documents typically include proof of the family relationship (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate), evidence of the service member’s status (e.g., military ID, discharge papers), and evidence of your identity and presence in the U.S. Additional documents might be needed depending on individual circumstances.

    Can Parole in Place be extended?

    Yes, Parole in Place is typically granted for one year and can be extended or renewed by submitting a new application to USCIS. It is important to start the renewal process well before the current parole period expires. For professional legal assistance, contact North County Immigration.
