PAROLE IN PLACE (PIP) FAMILY UNITY
Important
Update
On Thursday, November 7, in response to a lawsuit brought by several states, a U.S. District Court in Texas ruled that the federal government lacked legal authority to grant parole in place (PIP) under the Keeping Families Together Parole Program. At this moment, the Biden administration’s PIP under the Keeping Families Together Parole Program has stopped.

If you have already filed for PIP, or if you plan to file, we encourage you to wait until more information becomes available before taking any action. Antonini & Cohen will provide updates immediately upon any developments in the case. Due to the recent election, however, it seems unlikely that the government will appeal this ruling
What's Parole
in Place?
On June 18, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced they would broaden eligibility for Parole in Place to promote family unity through immigration. DHS will consider parole requests on a case-by-case, discretionary basis for certain noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens.
Federal law requires an applicant to have been 'inspected and admitted or paroled' in order to apply for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident from inside the U.S.
A recipient of Parole in Place is deemed to have been 'inspected and admitted or paroled.' If a recipient of Parole in Place is married to a U.S. citizen and otherwise eligible, they may apply for adjustment of status within the United States without having to leave the country and risk triggering a bar to reentry. Further, a recipient of parole in place is eligible to file for employment authorization.
