Gana con García: Relief for Spouses of U.S. Citizens Through New Parole Program

In this exciting new development, President Joe Biden, with support of the U.S. government, will be rolling out a program specifically designed to provide relief for spouses of U.S. citizens! This program aims to simplify the process for reuniting families and offers hope to many couples currently separated by immigration hurdles.

THAT’S RIGHT YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST— Spouses of U.S. Citizens May Finally Get a Program that Allows them to Adjust Their Status Here In the United States Through a “Parole In Place.”

Currently, the pathway to a green card for an undocumented spouse of a U.S. citizen takes several steps and approximately five to six years to process.

With the New Parole-In-Place Program, undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens would be able to file their I-130 petitions and their adjustment of status while INSIDE the United States. Undocumented spouses would be able to apply for work authorization allowing them to financially contribute to their households and pay taxes. In addition, undocumented spouses would not be required to abandon their families to go to an interview overseas. (Granted that is so long as there are no other grounds for inadmissibility).

Moreover, it would help alleviate the Immigration Court’s limited resources. Immigration Judges often have to adjourn cases to allow USCIS to process family petitions prior to resolving/ terminating proceedings. As a result, the Judges’ dockets get longer and less cases are able to be resolved. Through this new program, the Immigration Court could expedite proceedings involving U.S. citizen spouses and focus on cases that actually threaten national security, reducing some of its backlog.

Furthermore, the program would also benefit spouses of U.S. citizens who are stuck in foreign countries awaiting consular processing. Some of these cases can take longer than a year, at which time the U.S. citizen spouse is residing in the U.S. alone worrying about their spouse and their spouse’s processes.

ALL IN ALL- TOMORROW, TUESDAY JUNE 18, 2024, May Be Life Changing for So Many Couples Here In the United States.

As always, if you have questions about this program, please call us and set up a consultation.
