What Are the Benefits of Using Military Parole in Place (PIP)?
Military families face unique challenges that many immigrant families don’t have to deal with. Primarily, the US citizen family member might have extended periods away from home, making it difficult to sponsor loved ones for legal status. Immigration law provides special permission for these family members to stay together in the United States, gain employment authorization, and adjust their status to permanent residency.
Some benefits of military parole in place are:
- Deportation Protection – Family members of a military member may be able to avoid the fear of deportation when they utilize PIP
- Work Permit Eligibility – Immediate relatives of an active duty member, veteran, or other United States citizen in the military can be authorized to work in the US
- Immunity From Re-entry Bar – PIP recipients may be able to avoid restrictions barring immigrants from leaving the country
- Immigration Status – Using PIP can mean adjustment to full legal status in many cases; in other words, the person may receive their green card following a PIP approval.
- Overcome Inadmissibility – If you were previously ruled inadmissible for unlawful entry, you may be able to gain “lawful entry” into the US through PIP
With the many immigration benefits of parole in place, getting an immigration lawyer on your side is crucial. Please get in touch with our law firm for help getting your green card through the Parole in Place policies.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements for Military Parole in Place?
Getting a green card is not always easy. Using military benefits is usually an excellent route for military families. However, there are still specific eligibility requirements that must be met. For help understanding how PIP applies to your family and to learn how to get started, please contact an immigration attorney at our law firm immediately. We have extensive experience helping United States citizens and lawful permanent residents keep their families together through PIP.
Some requirements for PIP eligibility include:
- Being an eligible relative of a military member. This includes immediate relatives, such as the person’s spouse, child, or parent
- Having a military member who is either an active-duty member, veteran, or individual serving in the Selected Reserve or Ready Reserve
Please note that the various branches of the U.S. armed forces—the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard — are all eligible for military PIP.
If you or a loved one is dealing with immigration issues, such as qualifying for military PIP or another visa, please get in touch with our law firm immediately. We proudly fight to keep families together, even if a foreign national family member would otherwise not qualify for legal entry. We’ll apply our dedication and knowledge to get you the desired results.
What Is the Process for Filing for PIP?
Filing for PIP can be a complex legal matter that should be handled with the help of an experienced attorney like Abogada Nancy and her team. Getting approved based on family relationships can be tricky and requires providing strong evidence to get the best chance of approval. Having an immigration lawyer on your side can help you proceed confidently throughout this complex process.
Some steps of filing for PIP include:
- Submitting Proper Forms to USCIS – Your immigration attorney can help determine what forms are appropriate in your unique case and will help fill out the right petitions to get you the best chance of approval
- Providing Evidence Of The Family Relationship – Some documents that can be helpful when filing for PIP include showing a birth certificate, marriage certificate, adoption decree, tax documents, bank accounts, military ID card, and proof of residence in the United States
- Providing further evidence that can help your case, such as awards or certificates received by the military member, character letters, and a carefully crafted cover letter
- Gaining discretion from the USCIS decision maker typically includes a well-prepared declaration from the military member, and Abogada Nancy and her team can guide you through this important step
- Submitting Criminal Records, If Applicable – Please remember that if you have a criminal record, you may be granted PIP but not receive a green card. Contact a trusted immigration attorney immediately for help overcoming this challenge in the immigration process
Are There Any Downsides to Seeking Parole in Place?
Getting approved for parole in place can be hugely beneficial for many military families. However, this process also has some downsides. For example, parole in place does not guarantee receipt of a green card. While inadmissibility may or may not affect your eligibility for parole in place, it can impact your ability to adjust your status to a lawful permanent resident.
Additionally, proving that you deserve parole in place despite inadmissibility or unlawful presence can be difficult. Understanding whether this is the right path for you can be challenging if you’re unfamiliar with US immigration law. Our law firm can help you understand your options and determine the right next step for your family. Call right away to learn more.
How Can I Get the Best Chance of Approval for Military PIP?
If you are the immigrant relative of a military member, you may seek parole in place status to overcome unlawful entry, inadmissibility, or other immigration challenges. PIP approval can make a massive difference in the lives of military families. However, getting approved can be a battle in and of itself. For the best chance of getting the results you want, there are a few things you can do.
One important first step is talking to an experienced attorney about your situation. Everyone’s case is unique, so going it alone is not a good idea. You’ll want personalized advice from a legal team with vast experience in immigration law, especially regarding the military.
Another way you can help your case is by being totally honest with your lawyer and others you encounter during the immigration process. You should respond quickly and thoroughly to your law firm’s questions so they can have all the essential information when filing a petition on your behalf.
