Parole in Place (PIP) allows certain undocumented family members of U.S. military service members to obtain temporary lawful presence — enabling them to adjust status in the U.S. through a family-based petition without leaving for consular processing (which would trigger 3/10-year bars). PIP is discretionary and granted case-by-case.
Spouse, parent, or unmarried child under 21 of: U.S. armed forces active duty member; U.S. armed forces reserve member; or veteran (current or former military). No criminal disqualifications.
File Form I-131 requesting parole in place with documentation of military relationship and family member's circumstances. Approval generally retroactive to entry date.
Military member's documentation (DD-214, military ID, etc.); family relationship evidence; identity documents; and admissibility analysis.
No I-131 fee for PIP requests.
Processing 2–8 months.
We handle PIP requests for military families, coordinating with adjustment of status filings to provide complete pathway to green cards.
If your family member is a U.S. military service member or veteran, PIP may protect you from the consequences of unauthorized presence. Contact us for evaluation.
