O Serviço de Cidadania e Imigração dos Estados Unidos (USCIS) pode conceder "parole in place" a famílias militares. Aqui está o que você precisa saber sobre o "parole in place".
Os Estados Unidos podem conceder "parole in place" por razões humanitárias urgentes ou por benefício público significativo. INA 212(d)(5)(A).
O "parole in place" foi criado para beneficiar famílias militares com membros da família indocumentados nos Estados Unidos. O "parole in place" destina-se a membros do serviço militar ou ao cônjuge, viúvo(a), pai, filho ou filha do membro do serviço. O membro do serviço deve ser um membro em serviço ativo das Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos, na reserva selecionada da reserva pronta, ou o membro do serviço (vivo ou falecido) deve ter servido anteriormente em serviço ativo ou na reserva selecionada da reserva pronta e deve ter sido dispensado com honra.
Um fator muito importante a considerar ao determinar se o indivíduo se qualifica para o "parole in place" ou não é que o indivíduo deve estar presente nos Estados Unidos sem ter sido admitido no país.
Isso significa que o indivíduo deve ter entrado nos Estados Unidos ilegalmente. Se, por exemplo, o indivíduo foi admitido nos Estados Unidos com um visto, mas o visto e o status legal expiraram posteriormente, e o indivíduo ainda está nos Estados Unidos, o indivíduo não se qualifica para o "parole in place" porque entrou legalmente e foi admitido nos EUA.
Se o indivíduo for elegível com base nos requisitos acima, a seguinte documentação deve ser submetida a USCIS, juntamente com o pedido de "parole in place".
- Evidência do relacionamento familiar, como: certidão de casamento, documentação de término de casamento anterior, certidão de nascimento do filho ou filha, certidão de nascimento atual ou anterior do membro do serviço com o nome dos pais; ou comprovante de inscrição no Sistema de Registro de Elegibilidade para Inscrição na Defesa (DEERS);
- Evidência de que o membro da família é um membro atual ou anterior das Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos;
- Os pais de membros atuais ou antigos das Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos devem fornecer evidência de que o membro atual ou anterior das Forças Armadas apoia o pedido de "parole in place";
- Evidência de quaisquer fatores discricionários adicionais favoráveis que o indivíduo gostaria que a USCIS considerasse. A evidência deve mostrar a USCIS a razão humanitária urgente para o pedido ou o benefício público significativo de conceder o pedido de "parole in place"; e.
- Duas fotografias idênticas, coloridas, no estilo de passaporte, do indivíduo que está solicitando o "parole in place"
Se a USCIS aprovar o pedido de "parole in place", o indivíduo estará protegido contra deportação e também poderá ser elegível para autorização de emprego. A aprovação do "parole in place" autoriza o indivíduo a permanecer nos Estados Unidos por um período de um ano. O indivíduo recebe um documento I-94 como evidência do "parole", e o I-94 serve como prova de uma entrada legal para fins de outros possíveis benefícios de imigração.
Observe, por favor, que o "parole in place" não é o mesmo que a ação adiada. A ação adiada possui requisitos de elegibilidade diferentes. Se você estiver buscando falar com um advogado sobre a ação adiada, nosso escritório também poderá te ajudar.

The latest policy alert, PA-2024-05, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 21, 2024, brings revisions to the USCIS Policy Manual, specifically focusing on expediting requests. These updates aim to simplify and elucidate the process for applicants, particularly those facing emergencies or urgent humanitarian needs. The primary goal is to make it easier for applicants to understand how to request expedited processing for their various submissions, including applications, petitions, appeals, or motions, especially in cases concerning government interests or urgent situations. While USCIS has historically permitted immigration benefit seekers to request expedited application processing in specific circumstances, the process has frequently been perceived as unclear, with decisions made arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. The recent update seeks to rectify this by providing clarity and uniformity to the process and establishing explicit criteria and documentation standards. In order to request expedited processing, applicants need to adhere to a more defined procedure. This involves submitting thorough documentation and illustrating the urgency or government relevance of their case. The recent update also explains how USCIS reviews these requests, offering applicants a better grasp of the process. The update introduces special measures for speeding up the processing of Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) in emergency situations. This acknowledges the urgent need for certain applicants to travel. The policy also acknowledges that expedited requests may be evaluated if there is evident USCIS error, aiming to uphold fairness and accountability within the processing system. These changes aim to make the expedited request process more transparent and understandable for applicants and their representatives. In summary, USCIS's revision regarding expedited requests signifies a notable advancement in rendering the immigration process more transparent and attentive to applicants' requirements. By comprehending these updated guidelines, applicants and their representatives can more effectively navigate the expedited request procedure, ensuring that urgent cases receive due consideration. If you believe you qualify for expedited processing under the recent USCIS policy updates, feel free to contact our office, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

As of April 1, 2024, USCIS has instituted an inflation adjustment to immigration application filing fees . These fee increases apply to a majority of the different application types, including family-based, non-immigrant, and immigrant petitions. As a part of these fee increases, USCIS has also instituted a new program designed to provide funding to the United States’ Asylum Program, in order to better address the massive backlog of pending asylum claims currently waiting to be adjudicated. Unfortunately, these changes have led to confusion among petitioners for when they are required to pay the Asylum Program Fee, and when they may qualify for a 50% or complete exemption from the fee. The Asylum Program Fee is required to be submitted by employers in all I-129 and I-140 petitions filed on or after April 1, 2024. The Asylum Program Fee is $600, however, certain exemptions apply . Small employers , defined as having 25 or fewer total employees, qualify for a reduction of the Asylum Program Fee, but are still required to submit a reduced fee of $300. Individual petitioners, or self-petitions, such as in the case of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver, are considered small employers for the purpose of the Asylum Program Fee and are also required to submit the reduced $300 fee. Non-profit organizations are exempted from the Asylum Program fee and are not required to submit any additional funds with the ordinary I-129 or I-140 filing fee. In addition, non-profits qualify for a 50% reduction of the ordinary filing fee in certain types of applications, bringing the overall filing fee burden down substantially for non-profit organizations. With these changes to USCIS’ filing fee schedule, USCIS is hoping for significant improvements to efficiency and processing for pending asylum applicants. If you or your petitioning organization need any assistance in preparing an application for an immigration benefit, including ensuring proper compliance with the new fee requirements, our office is ready and waiting to help!
