Military Parole in Place Lawyer in Dallas

Parole in Place allows certain undocumented family members of active-duty, reserve, and veteran U.S. service members to remain lawfully present in the U.S. and pursue adjustment of status without leaving the country.

Who Is the Military Parole in Place For?

Who Qualifies

Applicants must show the qualifying family relationship to the service member and that a grant of parole in place is warranted for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, which is generally presumed favorable for military families absent adverse factors.

How to Apply

Applicants file Form I-131 requesting parole in place with evidence of the family relationship and the sponsor's military service; once granted, the family member may then pursue Form I-485 adjustment of status.

Period of Stay & Processing

Parole in place is typically granted for one year at a time and can be re-requested as needed while the adjustment of status process moves forward.
