What Is Military Parole in Place?
Military Parole in Place (PIP) is a discretionary benefit that may allow certain family members of U.S. military personnel to remain in the United States temporarily with authorized stay.
This benefit is generally available to qualifying relatives of active-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, Selected Reserve, or veterans.
Parole in Place may help provide temporary protection from removal and may allow eligible individuals to apply for certain immigration benefits, depending on their situation.
The process involves preparing and submitting a request to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with supporting documentation.
Who May Apply?
Common situations include:
• Spouses of U.S. military service members
• Parents of U.S. military service members
• Children of U.S. military service members
• Certain family members of veterans or reservists
Each case is unique and eligibility may depend on several factors, including the applicant’s relationship to the service member and immigration history.
If you are unsure whether this process applies to your situation, you may wish to review your case with a licensed immigration attorney.
Forms Commonly Included in This Process
Depending on the case, the process may include preparing:
• Form I-131 – Application for Travel Document (used for Parole in Place requests)
Additional supporting documents may be required depending on the case.
