President Biden recently announced a new Executive Action that will allows eligible noncitizen spouses and children to apply for permanent residence without leaving the country.
This initiative, a significant step towards promoting family unity, boosting the economy, and benefiting both citizens and noncitizen family members, holds the promise of a brighter future for many.
To be eligible for this "Parole in Place," noncitizens must meet specific criteria, such as having resided in the U.S. for at least ten years, being legally married to a U.S. citizen before June 17, 2024, be present in the United States without admission or parole, in addition, individuals must have no disqualifying criminal history. If approved, families can apply for permanent residency and work authorization for up to three years, allowing them to stay together in the United States.
This protection will benefit around half a million spouses of U.S. citizens and about 50,000 noncitizen children under 21.
President Biden's executive order is a positive step towards protecting immigrant families and strengthening our communities.
Important: This Executive Action for Parole in Place is not actively accepting applications at this time and we are still awaiting instructions on the process. Please be cautious to avoid falling victim to scams; preparers, notaries, or anyone promising representation based on this announcement.
El Presidente Biden anunció una Acción Ejecutiva que permitirá a cónyuges e hijos no ciudadanos elegibles solicitar la residencia permanente sin tener que salir del país.
Esta medida es un gran paso para promover la unidad familiar, impulsar la economía y beneficiar tanto a ciudadanos como a familiares no ciudadanos. Para ser elegible para este "Parole In Place" (PIP), los no ciudadanos deben cumplir con ciertos criterios, como haber residido en EE. UU. durante al menos diez años, estar legalmente casados con un ciudadano estadounidense antes del 17 de junio de 2024, estar presente en los Estados Unidos sin admisión ni libertad condicional. Además, las personas no deben tener antecedentes penales que los descalifiquen. Si se aprueba, las familias pueden solicitar la residencia permanente y autorización de trabajo por hasta tres años, lo que les permitirá permanecer juntos en los Estados Unidos.
Esta protección beneficiará a alrededor de medio millón de cónyuges de ciudadanos estadounidenses y aproximadamente 50,000 hijos no ciudadanos menores de 21 años. La orden ejecutiva del Presidente Biden es un paso positivo hacia la protección de las familias inmigrantes y el fortalecimiento de nuestras comunidades.
IMPORTANTE: La acción ejecutiva de Biden para el permiso en el lugar "Parole in Place" (PIP) aún no acepta solicitudes, y todavía estamos esperando instrucciones sobre el proceso. Por favor, ten cuidado para no caer víctima de estafas; evita caer en manos de preparadores, notarios o cualquiera que prometa representación basada en este anuncio.
