Military Parole In Place

Many people ask, “Can I adjust my immigration status if I am married to a military service member?” The immigration process can be long and complex, so it’s natural to wonder if service in the military – even by a spouse – can have an impact on this process. A status change may also be necessary if the couple wants to stay together but the immigrant’s status – or lack of documentation – may make that difficult.

Do You Need An Unlawful Presence Waiver?

When a foreign national enters the country without permission, they may need a provisional unlawful presence waiver since they cannot adjust their status. Unfortunately, getting this waiver can be a long and stressful process.

For those who are married to military service members, though, there is a way around this complexity. If you are the spouse of an active duty service member, you can apply for military parole in place. Doing so can potentially save you around $4,000 in filing fees. Additionally, it means you won’t need an unlawful presence waiver, streamlining the process and making this go more quickly.

The right immigration solution can help you avoid removal proceedings and jump-start the process of adjusting your status to remain in the United States long-term.
