Parole in Place for family of Military members and Veterans
What is parole in place?

Why would I need parole in place?
Entering without inspection or a valid visa or travel
document might make you ineligible for several immigration benefits. If your request for parole in place is
approved, you:
• Do not accrue unlawful presence during the specified
period;
• May apply for a work permit for the specified period; and
• May be able to apply for an immigration benefit that
requires a lawful entry, including permanent residence, if you are eligible.

• An individual in the Selected Reserve of the Rea
dy

• A military veteran (whether living or deceased, as long as
