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.

Department of Homeland Security , Case Number 24-cv-306 administratively stayed the Department of Homeland Security from granting parole in place under Keeping Families Together for 14 days.

The plaintiffs argue that these policies undermine state sovereignty and contribute to increased illegal immigration, which they believe has negative repercussions for public safety and resources.

On September 14, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a nationwide preliminary injunction in Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security , halting the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) final rule that was scheduled to eliminate “duration of status” (D/S) on September 15, 2026. As a result of this nationwide order, DHS is blocked from enforcing fixed periods of admission for F-1 students, J-1 exchange visitors, and I media representatives while the litigation moves forward. Because the current “duration of status” framework remains in full effect, F, J, and I visa holders are not required to file Form I-539 extension of stay applications to remain in valid status beyond program end dates at this time. Furthermore, restrictions on academic transfers, constraints on enrolling in second programs at the same degree level, 240-day caps on continued employment while extensions are pending, and shortened grace periods do not apply during the injunction. F-1 nonimmigrants retain the full 60-day post-completion grace period, and J-1 holders maintain their 30-day grace period. However, please note that this preliminary injunction is not a final ruling invalidating the rule , and a status conference is scheduled for October 2, 2026, to determine next steps in the litigation. Immediate Practice Tips: Inspect I-94 Travel Records Upon Reentry: F, J, and I visa holders currently admitted under D/S retain their status and should continue to be readmitted under D/S following international travel until the injunction is lifted. However, because the I-94 record controls legal stay, travelers must inspect their CBP-issued Form I-94 immediately upon reentry to confirm the "Admit Until Date" states "D/S" rather than a specific expiration date. If a specific date is mistakenly recorded, contact a local CPB Deferred Inspection Site. Notify HR and Review Workplace Compliance: Employers sponsoring F-1 or J-1 employees should inform HR and hiring managers that the September 15 fixed-period rule is postponed and standard D/S rules govern. This development does not alter standard filing windows or Form I-9 verification procedures for post-completion OPT or STEM OPT extensions. Maintain Operational Readiness and Defer Unnecessary Filings: Visa holders and employers should defer travel or filing strategy decisions made solely in anticipation of the fixed-admission rule. Because DHS may appeal or the court could alter the timeline on short notice, institutions and visa holders should maintain readiness to adjust plans if implementation resumes. There are many evolving components to this litigation. If you are an F-1, J-1, or I visa holder, sponsoring institution, or employer, you should proactively coordinate with your international student office and legal counsel to protect your status and monitor upcoming court proceedings.
