Biden's New Parole in Place Program
Did you hear the big news from President Biden? The new parole in place program will have 2 pathways to secure legal status. The last time As your trusted source of legal information, we invite you to join us for a webinar.
Parole in place would give undocumented spouses of American citizens a chance to become permanent U.S. residents, if they meet other requirements, without having to leave the country. Unlike other categories, green cards for spouses of United States citizens are unlimited. After several years, green card holders may apply for U.S. citizenship.
How is this possible? Is this allowed by Immigration law?
Absolutely. Since the Bush administration, the U.S. government has authorized a parole in place program for immigrants who are immediate relatives of U.S. military members. In 2020, Congress affirmed that policy.
Who can qualify for this parole in place?
- Married couples who married before June 17, 2024 & lived in USA for 10 years minimum
- Work visa only for DACA recipients and “Dreamers”
a. Need degree
b. Need job offer for a “high-skilled” position

We will make the argument that common law marriage is acceptable. USCIS Policy Manual states that the law of the state is recognizes. “In general, the legal validity of a marriage is determined by the law of the place where the marriage was celebrated (“place-of-celebration rule”). Under this rule, a marriage is valid for immigration purposes in cases where the marriage is valid under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is performed.” Chapter 2 of the Policy Manual further states below, “If the relationship is treated as a marriage, however, such as a “common law marriage,” it will be recognized.”
Here are some questions we are ready to research as soon as USCIS releases the proposed rule to the Federal Register.
