As a crucial reminder, USCIS will start accepting applications for the newly announced Keeping Families Together Parole in Place (PIP) program on August 19, 2024. This program, announced on June 17, 2024, provides an essential opportunity for eligible spouses of U.S. citizens to remain in the United States legally and pursue a pathway to a green card.
Eligibility Criteria for the Keeping Families Together Parole in Place Program
To be eligible for this program, applicants must meet the following specific criteria:
Marital Status: Applicants must be the spouse of a U.S. citizen, and the marriage must have occurred before June 17, 2024.
Presence in the U.S.: Applicants must have been physically present in the United States for at least 10 years as of June 17, 2024.
No Disqualifying Factors: Applicants must not have any disqualifying criminal convictions or significant immigration violations.
This program is designed to help spouses of U.S. citizens who may be ineligible for a green card due to unlawful presence in the United States. Approval of parole in place under this program allows eligible individuals to remain in the U.S. while adjusting their status, without the risk of triggering the 3 or 10-year bars to reentry.
Application Process
USCIS has announced that applications for this program must be filed online. While the official form has not yet been released, it is expected to be made available shortly before or on August 19, 2024. It is essential for eligible individuals to prepare for this online application process and ensure that all required documentation is correctly submitted.
