USCIS recognizes the important sacrifices made by U.S. Service Members, Veterans, Enlistees, and their families. For that reason, USCIS provides discretionary options such as parole-in-place or deferred action on a case-by-case basis.

Military Parole-in-Place ("MIL PIP”) is available for Spouses, Parents, Sons, and Daughters of military personnel. MIL PIP is an option available for family members of United States Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents who are or were once enrolled, in the U.S. Military. Additionally, MIL PIP is also available to family members of previous military personnel who are now deceased, and for Sons and Daughters who are over 21 and married.

MIL PIP is generally granted in one-year increments. A grant of MIL PIP cures the inadmissibility ground relating to individuals present in the United States without being admitted or paroled. Individuals who are granted MIL PIP are given the authorization to stay and to work and are “paroled” for adjustment purposes under § 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), creating the possibility for adjustment.

Certain family members of military personnel can request parole-in-place, if they meet these basic requirements:

  • Are physically present in the United States;
  • Were not previously “admitted”;
  • Are the Spouse, Parent, Son, or Daughter (of any age) of an active duty member of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve, or a former member of the U.S. Armed Forces or Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve (including individuals who served in the military but are now deceased); and
  • Do not have a criminal conviction or other serious adverse factors.

There is no filing fee required to apply for Military Parole-in-Place (MIL PIP).

Once USCIS receives your application or petition you will receive:

  • Notice of Action confirming receipt of your application.
  • A Biometrics Service appointment at a local USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) to capture your fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature.
  • A notice to appear for an interview with an Immigration Officer at your nearest USCIS Office.
  • An I-94, Arrival/Departure Record valid for one year, if your application is approved.
  • If required, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) to request missing initial or additional evidence.

If your application is approved, you can request an Employment Authorization Document (Work Permit) or start the Family Petition and Adjustment of Status process, assuming you are eligible to adjust.
