Biden Family Unity Parole in Place Program

BIDEN RULE ON PAROLE IN PLACE FOR SPOUSES OF U.S. CITIZENS:

The Biden Administration has stated that they will publish a RULE in the Federal Register on or before August 19th, 2024 to allow certain spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for Parole in Place, so that they could then qualify to apply for Adjustment of Status (green card) within the United States, when they were not otherwise eligible to do so because they had entered the United States illegally.

In order the qualify you must meet the following basic requirements:

  • You have continuously resided in the United States since June 17, 2014 (ten years physical presence);
  • You were physically present in the United States on June 17, 2024;
  • You were legally married to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024;
  • You entered the United States without admission or parole and do not currently hold any lawful immigrant or nonimmigrant status; (*If you entered in another status that does not allow Adjustment of Status, you MIGHT also be eligible, this will not be clear until final rule and instructions are published).
  • You do not have a serious criminal record.

With this email you have been informed that:

  • The PIP program announced on June 18, 2024, is currently only an announcement and has not yet been implemented.
  • Specific details and requirements of the PIP program, including potential disqualifications based on criminal records or other factors, have not been finalized or published.
  • The PIP program may never be implemented. (It could be challeged, for example, in Federal Court).
  • If it is implemented, the PIP program may be challenged in court, and it may face long delays and/or not be implemented as a result.
  • The final requirements of the PIP program may be different from those announced on June 18, 2024, and that I may not qualify once all the details of the program are understood.
  • There is not an application for the PIP program that can be submitted until the process has been officially implemented by the government.
  • The attorney cannot prepare a PIP application for me because the final requirements and process of the PIP program are unknown.
  • There is no guaranteed timeline for the government to implement the PIP program.
  • Any work performed by my attorney in preparation for the PIP program falls outside the scope of all previous agreements for legal services I have with my attorney and that my attorney will continue work on my other cases as previously agreed upon.

We will be posting further updates in the coming days if this program is not implemented within the time frames above.

Today I have a greencard, and I cannot thank Mr. Lubiner enough for all the hard work he put into my case. He is one of the most committed and knowledgeable lawyers I've worked with, and I highly recommend him and his practice. Lilia B.

Before going to LS&P Lawyers, I consulted 3 immigration law firms and all of them told me they can't help me and will not be responsible for me being deported back to the Philippines. At LS&P Lawyers, the attorneys told me that I will get my green card and showed me the legal basis. I felt greatly relieved and a new hope emerged. I'm so thankful to God for this blessing and commend LS&P Lawyers because I am now a green card holder. Conrado B.
