Parole

/ Immigration overview

In the context of U.S. immigration, “parole“ refers to a temporary permission granted to individuals to enter or remain in the United States for specific humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons. Parole is not an immigrant or nonimmigrant status, and it does not provide a path to permanent residency or citizenship. Instead, it is a discretionary measure used to address various circumstances.

1. Humanitarian Parole

Humanitarian parole is a discretionary measure used in U.S. immigration to allow individuals to enter or remain in the United States for compelling humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons. Humanitarian parole is typically granted on a case-by-case basis for temporary stays and does not provide a path to permanent residency or citizenship. It is designed to address urgent and exceptional circumstances that merit allowing an individual into the United States.

Am I eligible for Humanitarian parole?

Humanitarian parole is not a specific visa category, and there are no fixed eligibility criteria. Instead, it is granted at the discretion of U.S. immigration authorities. Eligibility is determined based on the specific humanitarian or public benefit reasons presented in the request.

What reasons should I show?

Humanitarian parole may be granted for various reasons, including medical emergencies, family reunification in cases of severe illness or death, and significant public benefit reasons. It may also be used for individuals in urgent need of medical treatment in the United States.

What is the application process?

To request humanitarian parole, an individual or a sponsor on their behalf must submit a formal written request to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The request should include detailed documentation and evidence to support the humanitarian or public benefit reasons.

How long can I stay?

Humanitarian parole is generally granted for a specific period and is temporary in nature. The length of parole can vary depending on the circumstances.

What are the conditions and restrictions?

Individuals granted humanitarian parole must adhere to the conditions and restrictions specified in their parole documents. This may include requirements related to medical treatment, public benefit activities, or other specific obligations.
**Travel: **Humanitarian parole holders are typically allowed to enter the United States for the specified purpose but are expected to depart the country when the parole period ends

2. Parole in Place (PIP)

“Parole in Place“ (PIP) is a U.S. immigration policy that allows certain family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel and veterans to apply for and be granted parole status, even if they entered the United States without authorization. Parole in Place is intended to provide a legal pathway for certain family members of U.S. military personnel to adjust their immigration status and remain in the United States.

Am I eligible for PIP?

Parole in Place is typically available to the spouses, children, and parents of active-duty U.S. military personnel or veterans. The military personnel must be either U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders).

What is the purpose of PIP?

The policy aims to prevent the deportation and separation of military families by allowing eligible family members to obtain a lawful immigration status while residing in the United States.

Am I eligible for Work Authorization?

Parole in Place recipients are eligible to apply for employment authorization, allowing them to work legally in the United States.

Does it protect me from deportation?

Parole in Place protects eligible family members from deportation during the period of their parole, provided they do not violate the terms and conditions of their parole.

What is the application process?

To apply for Parole in Place, eligible family members must submit a request to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The request should include supporting documentation and evidence to establish the qualifying relationship and eligibility.

Can I get a green card?

Once granted Parole in Place, family members can apply to adjust their status to lawful permanent residency (green card status) based on their relationship to the U.S. military personnel.
