The spouses of American citizens who are still unlawfully in the United States can now begin gathering the documentation to submit their applications for Parole In Place next month.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that they will begin accepting applications for Parole In Place on August 19, 2024. Any application submitted before this date will be rejected.
