Parole in Place - Military: Permanent Residence "Green Card"

What is Parole in Place - Military?

  • Complete Details

    The U.S. recognizes the important sacrifices made by U.S. service members, veterans, enlistees, and their families. To support these individuals, they provide discretionary options such as parole in place or deferred action on a case-by-case basis.

  • Am I eligible?

    The U.S. may grant parole in place on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit under section 212(d)(5)(A) of the INA. You may be eligible for parole in place in one-year increments if you are the spouse, widow(er), parent, son or daughter of an:


    • Active-duty member of the U.S. armed forces;
    • Individual in the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve; or
    • Individual who (whether still living or deceased) previously served on active duty or in the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve and was not dishonorably discharged.

    If you entered the U.S. lawfully but overstayed your visa (or are otherwise in the U.S. past your period of authorized stay), you are not eligible for parole in place because you are not an applicant for admission. However, you may qualify for deferred action.
