At Little Law, P.A., we understand the unique challenges that military families face, especially when it comes to immigration issues. The 2024 Biden Parole in Place (PIP) Program offers a critical opportunity for undocumented family members of U.S. military personnel, veterans, and reservists to remain in the United States legally. This program reflects the Biden Administration’s commitment to supporting military families by providing legal relief and pathways to lawful permanent residency.
What is the 2024 Parole in Place Program?
The Parole in Place program allows undocumented family members of active-duty military, veterans, and those serving in the Reserve or National Guard to stay in the United States without fear of deportation. This temporary legal status can also provide work authorization and may lead to the ability to adjust status to a green card holder. The 2024 updates to this program aim to expand eligibility, streamline the application process, and provide increased protections for military families.
Who is Eligible for the Parole in Place Program?
Eligibility for the 2024 Parole in Place program has been expanded to include more family members, making it more accessible to those who support our service members. Eligible individuals include:
- Spouses of U.S. military personnel, veterans, and reservists
- Unmarried children under 21 years of age
- Parents of U.S. military members, veterans, and reservists
Applicants must demonstrate a qualifying family relationship and that their military family member is or was honorably serving in the U.S. military.
Benefits of the Parole in Place Program
The 2024 Parole in Place program provides several key benefits for eligible military families:
- Temporary Legal Status: Recipients of PIP are granted a legal status that protects them from deportation, allowing them to remain in the U.S.
- Work Authorization: PIP recipients can apply for work permits, enabling them to work legally in the U.S.
- Pathway to Permanent Residency: For those who entered the U.S. without inspection, PIP can help overcome this barrier, making it possible to apply for a green card through family petitions.
How to Apply for Parole in Place
The application process for the 2024 Parole in Place program involves submitting a request to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) with the necessary documentation, including:
- Proof of the family member’s military service (such as DD Form 214 or military ID)
- Evidence of the qualifying relationship (such as marriage or birth certificates)
- A completed application form and supporting affidavits as needed
