Glendale Military Parole in Place Program

Generally, the military parole in place program is a program that helps U.S. foreign nationals who are the spouse, widower, parent, or child of a U.S. military servicemember. This program allows you to stay in the U.S. for a limited time even if you came to the country without authorization from an official immigration officer. Parole in place is a lawful immigration status and could help you with other immigration benefits, such as getting a Green Card. Parole in place status can last in one-year increments.

Our immigration lawyers can explain everything in more detail for you.
