02:25 – $1,000 Military Parole Fee After Approval

Although it is free to apply for military parole, the U.S. government now requires a $1,000 fee after approval to finalize your case. If you do not pay this fee on time, your parole will be denied.

05:00 – Risks of Applying for Residency Through Military Parole

To apply for lawful permanent residency through your child’s military parole, they must be 21 years old. Attorney Carolina Antonini reminds you that while military parole may forgive one unlawful entry into the US, it does not erase multiple entries. If you entered more than once, you may still face serious risks such as denial or being placed in deportation proceedings.

08:19 – Renewing Military Parole and Deportation Protection

Military parole may be renewable, but renewals are not guaranteed. To maintain your status and protection against deportation while working towards lawful permanent residency, Carolina advises filing for adjustment of status as soon as possible to avoid risk of being placed in deportation proceedings.

10:15 – Why Some People Must Reopen Deportation Cases?

Some individuals can adjust status without reopening a deportation case, while others must reopen it before moving forward. The requirement depends on the type of immigration relief you are pursuing and the details of your case.

12:24 – How Difficult is it to Reopen a Deportation Order?

Reopening a deportation case is often challenging, especially if significant time has passed. In some situations, such as lack of proper notice or exceptional circumstances for missing your hearing, reopening may be easier. However, many cases depend on discretionary decisions that are rarely granted.

Legal guidance is critical. Contact Antonini & Cohen to evaluate your options before taking action.

19:36 – Can my Attorney Complete my Immigration Medical Exam?

Immigration attorneys cannot complete medical exam forms. These must be completed by an authorized doctor. Your attorney may review a copy for accuracy, but they cannot fill out or sign the form.

20:50 – The Risks of Humanitarian Deferred Action

Deferred action provides temporary protection from deportation, typically for two years, but it is not a path to permanent residency. Carolina Antonini explains that fewer approvals are being granted, and if your request is denied, you may be at risk of being placed in removal proceedings.

23:55 – New Biometric Requirements for Petitioners

US citizens petitioning for family members may now be required to provide fingerprints and biometric data. Failing to comply may result in denial of the petition, making it important to follow all instructions carefully.
