Immigration will establish a new process to consider, on a case-by-case basis, the applications of certain spouses of U.S. citizens who have been physically present continuously without admission to the United States for 10 years or more; have no disqualifying criminal convictions; do not represent a threat to national security and public safety; will be eligible to apply for adjustment of status; and they will be able to obtain a parole while they wait for their residency process.

If granted parole, these individuals will be able to apply for residency without leaving the United States.

​

To be considered on a case-by-case basis for "Parole in Place" under this process, a person must:

​

* Be present in the United States;
*Have been continuously present in the United States for at least 10 years before June 17, 2024; and
Have a legally valid marriage to a US citizen before June 17, 2024.

​

Additionally, individuals must not have a disqualifying criminal record or pose a threat to national security or public safety.

Children of spouses who are granted "Parole in Place" under this process may also be considered on a case-by-case basis under this process if they are physically present in the United States without admission or TPS and have a qualifying stepchild relationship with a American citizen

​

This is a new procedure and more information will be added in the future.
