      El Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de EE.UU. (USCIS) puede conceder el permiso “Parole in Place” a las familias de militares. Esto es lo que debe saber sobre este permiso.

      Los EE.UU. pueden conceder el permiso “Parole in Place” en el lugar por razones humanitarias urgentes o de beneficio público significativo. INA 212(d)(5)(A).

      El permiso “Parole in Place” se creó para beneficiar a las familias de militares con familiares indocumentados en Estados Unidos. La libertad condicional está destinada a los miembros del servicio militar o a su cónyuge, viuda, padre o madre, hijo o hija. El miembro del servicio debe ser un miembro en servicio activo de las fuerzas armadas de EE.UU., en la reserva seleccionada de la reserva lista, o el miembro del servicio (vivo o fallecido) debe haber servido previamente en servicio activo o en la reserva seleccionada de la reserva lista y debe haber sido dado de baja con honores. 

      Un factor muy importante a tener en cuenta a la hora de determinar si el individuo reúne o no los requisitos para el permiso “Parole in Place”, es que el individuo debe estar presente en Estados Unidos sin haber sido admitido en el país. Esto significa que el individuo debe haber entrado ilegalmente en Estados Unidos. Si, por ejemplo, el individuo fue admitido en Estados Unidos con un visado pero el visado y el estatus legal caducaron más tarde, y el individuo sigue en Estados Unidos, el individuo no reúne los requisitos para el permiso “Parole in Place” porque entró legalmente y fue admitido en Estados Unidos.

      Si la persona es elegible sobre la base de los requisitos anteriores, las siguientes pruebas documentales deben ser presentadas a USCIS, con la solicitud del permiso “Parole in Place”:
  1. Pruebas de la relación familiar, tales como: certificado de matrimonio, documentación de la terminación de un matrimonio anterior, certificado de nacimiento del hijo o hija, certificado de nacimiento del miembro actual o antiguo del servicio con el nombre de los padres; o prueba de inscripción en el Sistema de Informes de Elegibilidad de Inscripción de la Defensa (DEERS);

  2. Prueba de que el familiar es miembro actual o antiguo de las fuerzas armadas de EE.UU;

  3. Los padres de miembros actuales y antiguos de las fuerzas armadas de EE.UU. deben aportar pruebas de que el miembro actual o antiguo del servicio apoya la solicitud del permiso “Parole in Place”;

  4. Pruebas de cualquier factor discrecional favorable adicional que el individuo desee que USCIS considere. La evidencia debe mostrar USCIS la razón humanitaria urgente para la solicitud o el beneficio público significativo de la concesión del permiso “Parole in Place”, y 

  5. Dos fotografías idénticas, tipo pasaporte en color, de la persona que solicita el permiso “Parole in Place”.
      Si USCIS aprueba la solicitud del permiso “Parole in Place”, la persona queda protegida de la deportación y también puede optar a la autorización de empleo. La aprobación del permiso “Parole in Place” autoriza a la persona a permanecer en EE.UU. durante un año. La persona recibe un documento I-94 como prueba de la libertad condicional y el I-94 es prueba de una entrada legal a efectos de otros posibles alivios de inmigración. 

      Tenga en cuenta que el permiso “Parole in Place” no es lo mismo que la acción diferida. La acción diferida tiene diferentes requisitos de elegibilidad. Si usted está buscando hablar con un abogado acerca de la acción diferida, nuestra Firma también le puede ayudar.

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!
