President Biden has announced a new Parole in Place program for spouses of U.S. citizens, who have been continuously present in the U.S. for more than 10 years and are married to a U.S. citizen on or before June 17, 2024 to allow them to apply for a Green Card, Lawful permanent Residence. This plan, by Executive Order of the President, will begin 8/19/24. It will allow those who qualify to file papers with USCIS for "parole in place", creating lawful status for their USC spouse to file additional USCIS forms to obtain a green card here in the U.S.
We anticipate a rush to file come next month. If you believe you qualify you can contact our office for a consultation regarding what you will need and how much this process will cost. We do not charge for a phone or in office consultation at each of our locations, Reno 775 826 2099 and Las Vegas, 775 836 9003.
USCIS has the discretion to approve or disapprove depending on the individual circumstance and one should not file prior to this proposal to become law by executive order of the president.The initial step will be to file a Parole in Place petition and once approved by USCIS the USC spouse will be permitted to file for the foreign born spouse.
USCIS will determine eligibility by looking at one's previous immigration history, criminal record or arrests if any and any other relevant information available to or requested by USCIS. USCIS has strong processes in place to identify and address potential fraud, which will be applied here to ensure the integrity of this program.
One should therefore consult with an experienced immigration attorney before considering filing any petitions or forms with USCIS

I-601A Waiver of Admissibility
Immigration regulations include variety of ground of inadmissibility, especially the 10-year bar. A foreign national who recurs more than one year of unlawful presence is bar from re entry for 10 years upon leaving the U.S.
Provisional Waivers allow those eligible to apply here in the United States prior to an interview at the U.S. Consulate in one’s home country.
