Parole in place: An oportunity to regularize your status
Parole in place is an executive measure offering a unique opportunity for certain immigrants married to U.S. citizens who have resided in the United States for more than 10 years. This provision was introduced to assist those who, despite living in the country for a decade, still face challenges in obtaining legal status.
Who is Eligible?
To qualify for parole in place, several requirements must be met:
- Valid Marriage: The marriage to a U.S. citizen must have been valid before June 17, 2024. This means the marriage must have been legal and recognized prior to that date.
- Continuous Residence: The immigrant must have arrived in the United States before June 17, 2014, and resided continuously in the country for those 10 years. You must demonstrate that you have lived in the U.S. from that date to the present.
- Clean Record: It is essential to have no criminal record. Parole in place is designed for individuals with a clean history who have demonstrated responsible citizenship.
Benefits of Parole In Place
Parole in place grants provisional legal status for a period of three years. During this time, the beneficiary is expected to apply for legal permanent residence (Green Card). Since this process can be complex, it is highly recommended to work with an immigration attorney specializing in these cases to handle your application.
