Practice Alert: Parole in Place and Streamlined Employment-Based Visas: What We Know and What We Want to See for Immigrant Survivors (July 2024)

In June 2024, the Biden Administration announced new programs to promote family reunification and access to employment-based visas for noncitizen graduates of U.S. institutions of higher education. This Practice Alert will outline the requirements for the new Parole in Place (“PIP”) program for spouses and stepchildren of U.S. Citizens, address how immigrant survivors and their children may benefit, detail our unanswered questions and hopes for the PIP program, address the employment-based visa changes, and identify existing parole programs that may benefit immigrant survivors.
