Thinking of the past and the uncertain future, there are days when I don’t smile at all. And then there are days of new beginnings, like June 18, 2024, when no one can wipe the silly grin from my face. That day President Biden announced protection from deportation, work permit, and a green card to undocumented husbands and wives of US citizens. Seventy percent of voters believe this is the right thing to do. In fact, many assume that spouses of US citizens automatically get a green card.
To get a work permit, the noncitizen spouse has to apply for parole-in-place. If the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) approves that application, they can then apply for a work permit and legal permanent residency (green card). Most importantly, the family will be able to stay together. Right now, to get a green card they have to apply for Provisional Waiver which gives no guarantee that the foreigner will be able to return to their family in the U.S.
Am I Eligible for Biden’s Parole in Place?
Persons who have no status, came into the country before June 13, 2014 (whether across a border, by sea, or on plane), are married to a US citizen, and are not a national security threat can get Biden’s parole in place. The children of the noncitizen spouse will also get parole-in-place. That said, the only way to know that you personally can get the Biden parole in place is to call a Blandon Law attorney today at 954.385.0157, schedule a consultation, and honestly discuss your criminal and immigration history with us.
