Parole in Place
On June 18, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new process to consider, on a case-by-case basis, requests for parole for certain noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens, as well as the children of these noncitizen spouses.
On August 26, 2024, a federal court temporarily halted this Parole in Place program. For 14 days from this ruling (and possibly longer), eligible applicants can still file PiP applications, but USCIS will not be able to review them. For more information, please refer to this page from USCIS.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to consult with a licensed immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited representative.
Employment Visa Waivers for DACA recipients and Dreamers
As a part of the White House's June 18th Actions to Keep Families Together, the administration announced it will take action to facilitate the employment visa process for those who have graduated from college and have a high-skilled job offer, including DACA recipients and other Dreamers.
This action will build on an existing process through which DACA recipients and other eligible Dreamers can apply for employment visas. Prospective applicants are encouraged to consult with a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative.
