To honor the service and sacrifices of active-duty members, veterans, and reservists of the U.S. military, the government established Parole in Place (PIP). This immigration program provides certain undocumented family members of U.S. military personnel with the opportunity to remain in the United States. Even if these family members initially entered the country without legal authorization, Parole in Place can offer a pathway to obtaining lawful immigration status.
Parole in Place (PIP) is a discretionary program that may help certain undocumented spouses, parents, and children of U.S. military members, veterans, and reservists remain in the United States and potentially qualify for a green card.
Certain spouses, parents, and children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who are:
Active-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces
Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve members
Veterans (with specific conditions)
Case-by-case discretionary decisions by USCIS
How Parole in Place May Help
Parole in Place, when granted, may be treated as a lawful admission to the United States for certain immigration purposes. This can open the door for some family members to apply for adjustment of status inside the U.S. without having to depart, depending on the facts of their case.

If you are serving or have served in the U.S. military and have undocumented family members, we can review whether Parole in Place or other options may be available.
