Parole in Place For Military Families

|

What is Military Parole in Place (PIP), and how can it help my family?

Military parole in place (PIP) allows certain close family members of persons who have sacrificed for our Nation through their service in the U.S. military to lawfully reside in the U.S. This applies to the family of service members who are actively serving at the present time, or who have previously served in the U.S. military. Even where the former military service member is deceased, their family member may still qualify for PIP. If parole is granted, it protects the family member from deportation, allows them to apply for and obtain work authorization, and it makes certain people also eligible for adjustment of status.

To qualify for military parole in place, the beneficiary must be the spouse, parent, or son or daughter of someone who is (1) serving as an active duty member of the U.S. military, (2) is a current member of the Selected Reserve or the Ready Reserve, or (3) previously served in the U.S. military, or Selected Reserve, or Ready Reserve, (whether still living or deceased) as long as they were not dishonorably discharged. A person seeking parole does not have to demonstrate that they are admissible, however a grant of parole is entirely discretionary.

Sadly, it was recently announced that the Trump Administration seeks to end Parole in Place for military families and that termination of the program could occur by the end of July 2019. Given the program’s likely termination, military PIP may be unavailable in the near future and should be sought now for eligible applicants.

We strongly recommend retaining the services of an experienced immigration attorney when filing a PIP request. At the Law Office of Karen Winston, our immigration attorneys in Jacksonville are experienced in filing military parole in place requests and you should contact us to schedule a consultation if you believe you or your loved one qualifies for military PIP.

¿Qué es la libertad condicional militar (PIP) y cómo puede ayudar a mi familia?

La libertad condicional militar (PIP) permite que ciertos familiares cercanos de personas que se han sacrificado por nuestra Nación a través de su servicio en el ejército de los EE. UU. Residan legalmente en los EE. UU. Esto se aplica a la familia de miembros del servicio que están sirviendo activamente en la actualidad. o que han servido previamente en el ejército de los Estados Unidos. Incluso cuando el ex miembro del servicio militar ha fallecido, su familiar aún puede calificar para el PIP. Si se concede la libertad condicional, protege al miembro de la familia de la deportación, les permite solicitar y obtener una autorización de trabajo, y hace que ciertas personas también sean elegibles para el ajuste de estatus.

Para calificar para la libertad condicional militar, el beneficiario debe ser el cónyuge, padre o madre o hijo de alguien que (1) se desempeñe como miembro en servicio activo del ejército de los EE. UU., (2) es un miembro actual de la Reserva seleccionada o la Reserva en lista, o (3) sirvió previamente en el ejército de los EE. UU., o la Reserva seleccionada, o la Reserva en lista (ya sea viva o muerta), siempre y cuando no hayan sido dados de baja de manera deshonrosa. Una persona que busca la libertad condicional no tiene que demostrar que es admisible, sin embargo, la concesión de la libertad condicional es totalmente discrecional.

Lamentablemente, recientemente se anunció que la Administración de Trump busca poner fin a la libertad condicional para las familias de militares y que la finalización del programa podría ocurrir a fines de julio de 2019. Dada la probable finalización del programa, es posible que el PIP militar no esté disponible en un futuro próximo. Se debe buscar ahora para los solicitantes elegibles.
