Family Unity Parole in Place Program Refund Updates
The USCIS has announced important changes to the Family Unity Program, specifically affecting spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens. If you previously registered for this program and paid the $580 fee, USCIS will be initiating refunds. Credit card payments will be refunded directly to the cards used, while debit card payments will result in a check being mailed to the address on file.
Business Immigration Updates
As a leading Green Card lawyer in Atlanta, Carolina Antonini emphasizes the importance of understanding your rights during workplace immigration enforcement actions. Remember:
Everyone in the United States has constitutional protections, regardless of immigration status.
You have the right to remain silent.
If asked, you must provide your real name, but you can decline to answer other questions until speaking with an attorney.
Working without documentation is a civil violation, but using false documents can result in criminal charges.
Immigration Medical Exams: Important Changes
USCIS now requires medical examination results to be submitted together with Green Card applications. Failure to include the medical examination will result in denial. Remember to:
Use only USCIS-approved civil surgeons.
Request a copy of your medical exam results.
Have your immigration attorney review the results before submission.
Keep your vaccinations up to date.
DACA Travel Permits
For DACA recipients, obtaining an advance parole travel permit could significantly impact their future immigration options. A legal entry with advance parole may allow you to adjust your status within the United States if you qualify through a U.S. citizen immediate relative.
