If another program or status is ideal for your circumstances, we can help you determine how best to move forward with an immigration claim more appropriate for your situation. We help immigrants and their families navigate federal immigration law and change their status in many ways.
In the realm of immigration matters, Parole is a lawful immigration status and is specifically available to United States military personnel and family members. In practice, parole in place:
- Is a program available to some immigrants, depending on their case, as an alternative path to applying for a green card.
- Generally allows foreign nationals to reside in the United States for a limited time.
- Is available to certain immigrants even if they entered the country without prior authorization from an official immigration officer.
Those who wish to apply for the program must meet the requirements and prove the need for parole in place. This option can benefit military family members for one-year increments if granted, and eventually can help change an immigrant resident status.
