Military Parole in Place (PIP) in Dallas
Apply for Parole in Place With Christensen Immigration Attorneys
As of 2013, parole in place (or PIP) is a program allowing undocumented family members of U.S. citizen military personnel to adjust their immigration status despite entering the country unlawfully. Non-citizen family members can apply for a green card without needing to first leave the United States.
Normally, entering the U.S. unlawfully would make you ineligible to obtain an immigrant visa. Such individuals often have to leave the country and go through consular processing. Leaving the country after entering unlawfully is a huge risk, as it may subject you to a three- or ten-year bar. However, if you are an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen that has served in the military, parole in place can enable you to apply for a green card without leaving the country.
