Biden’s Parole in Place Policy and DACA Actions!

Understanding the Biden Administration’s Approach

The Biden administration aims to overhaul immigration with new Parole in Place policy and DACA actions, reversing strict policies. Expanding PIP shows a commitment to keeping families together during tough times. 

The updated Parole in Place policy is part of a larger immigration reform effort, addressing a complex issue affecting millions. Reform means more than policy changes; it's about creating a fair, humane system that reflects national values and recognizes immigrants' contributions.

People seen as dangerous won't qualify for this process and could be detained or sent away. The updated immigration Parole in Place policy changes want to unite families but also support the government's goal of keeping the country safe.

The Updated Parole in Place Policy Explained

PIP began for U.S. military families under Bush. Parole in Place has been the biggest help for undocumented immigrants since the 1986 law that legalized 2.7 million people. 

The updated "Parole in Place" policy (PIP) helps undocumented people who are married to U.S. citizens and have lived in the United States for at least ten years by June 17, 2024. It gives them legal status to work and protects them from being sent out of the U.S. while they apply to change their immigration status.

The latest Parole in Place policy changes allow people to apply for green cards and later become U.S. citizens without leaving the U.S. This is different from current rules that usually make people return to their home U.S. to try to become legal residents.

Please note Parole in Place policy eligibility is decided on a case-by-case basis, and applications will undergo thorough background checks to ensure security and compliance.

• Must have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years by June 17, 2024.

Who Will the Updated Parole-in-Place Policy Benefit?

DHS estimates that 765,000 people married to U.S. citizens don’t have legal status. They’ve lived in the U.S. for about 20 years and have over 1.6 million U.S. citizen children. This is a chance for all eligible individuals to get a Green Card without leaving the U.S. 

It's not just about rules but also human rights, helping families who worry about being separated and sent away. This helps families stay together and participate more in society and the economy.

• You would be given parole for three years and might also get permission to work for up to three years. 
• If you get parole, you can apply for your green card within three years of approval.
