President Biden's administration is considering a new "parole in place" program to help undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens. This program would give them temporary legal status and work permits, protecting them from deportation and allowing them to work legally. The goal is to keep mixed-status families together and improve their economic stability. Here's how it would work: Normally, if you entered the U.S. illegally and then married a U.S. citizen, you would need to leave the U.S. to apply for a green card from your home country, like Mexico. However, leaving the U.S. often triggers a ban on reentry due to your unlawful presence. To overcome this, you would need to apply for a waiver (I-601A) to pardon your unlawful stay, which can take years and requires proving extreme hardship to your U.S. citizen spouse. The parole in place program would simplify this process. Instead of leaving the U.S. and applying for a waiver, eligible spouses could stay in the U.S. and be granted "legal entry" status, allowing them to apply for a green card without leaving the country. This change would be especially beneficial for those in states with strict anti-immigrant laws, providing relief from the fear of deportation.
