Protecting Families Who Serve

Serving in the U.S. military is a profound commitment, and so is supporting a loved one who serves. If you're an undocumented spouse, parent, or child of a current or former U.S. service member, you may be eligible for Military Parole in Place (PIP) a program designed to help keep military families united and secure.

What Is Military Parole in Place?

PIP is a discretionary immigration benefit that allows certain family members of U.S. military personnel to remain in the United States legally, even if they entered the country without inspection. This status provides protection from deportation and eligibility to apply for work authorization.

Who Is Eligible?

You may qualify for Military Parole in Place if you are:

• An undocumented spouse, parent, or child (of any age) of:

    ◦    An active-duty service member

    ◦    A member of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve

    ◦    A veteran who was not dishonorably discharged

This benefit applies regardless of your current immigration status or how you entered the U.S.

Key Benefits of PIP

• Protection from Deportation: Stay in the U.S. without fear of removal.
• Work Authorization: Apply for a work permit to support your family.
• Pathway to Permanent Residency: PIP can pave the way for applying for a Green Card.

Important Considerations

• Temporary Status: Military Parole in Place is typically granted for one year, with the possibility of renewal.
• No Automatic Green Card: While Military Parole in Place provides temporary legal status, it does not automatically lead to permanent residency.
