On August 26, 2024, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a temporary stay in the case of Texas v. Department of Homeland Security. This stay pauses USCIS from granting any pending parole in place requests under the Keeping Families Together program for 14 days.
Why Apply Now?
Secure Your Spot: Even though USCIS will not process applications during the stay, submitting your application now ensures that you're ahead in the queue when processing resumes.
Preparation Time: Applying now allows you to gather all necessary documentation and ensure your application is complete and accurate, avoiding potential delays later.
Stay Informed: By submitting your application, you'll be in a position to quickly act on any changes or updates once the court makes its final decision.
USCIS will continue to accept new filings of Form I-131F and will still schedule and capture biometrics at Application Support Centers (ASCs). Applications approved before the Keeping Families Together temporary stay order remain unaffected.
