President Joe Biden has announced a new “parole in place” (PIP) program that will begin accepting applications on August 19, 2024. This program is designed to help undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens remain in the country without fear of deportation and eventually apply for permanent residency.

Parole in place allows certain undocumented immigrants who are already in the U.S. to obtain temporary legal status. This status not only protects them from deportation, but also offers them the possibility of applying for a work permit and, in the long term, adjusting their status to permanent resident.

In addition to protection from deportation, “parole in place” beneficiaries can obtain work permits, which will allow them to contribute even more to the U.S. economy. It is estimated that eligible individuals already contribute approximately $13.5 billion annually to the economy in purchasing power.

The application process will begin on August 19, 2024. It is crucial not to submit any applications before this date, as they will be rejected. Applicants must complete the appropriate form and provide documentation to support their eligibility, including:
Proof of valid marriage to a U.S. citizen (marriage certificate).
Identity documents (driver’s licenses, passports, birth certificates with photographic identification).
Evidence of continuous U.S. residency (rent receipts, school records, utility bills, medical records, among others).
