On June 18, 2024, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) communicated actions to promote the unity of families in the immigration process, in line with the Biden administration’s dedication to keeping families together.
The new Parole-in-Place (PIP) program is intended to be implemented on August 19, 2024. The program is aimed at spouses and children of U.S. citizens who follow certain criteria.

• Have continuously lived in the United States for a minimum of 10 years as of June 17, 2024;
• Be legally married to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024;

Noncitizen children of spouses granted parole through this process may also be considered for parole if they are physically present in the U.S. without admission or parole and have a qualifying stepchild relationship with a U.S. citizen parent as of June 17, 2024.
The individual who qualifies may be granted parole for up to three years and can apply for permanent residence (green card) without having to leave the U.S.
Individuals should wait for further details to be provided. USCIS will not accept any submissions related to this process that are received before the application process officially starts. In the meantime, individuals can start gathering supporting documentation, including:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has been facing a backlog for many petitions. One of them is I-751 petitions, which are used by conditional permanent residents to remove the conditions on their residency. There are several reasons why USCIS is so behind on processing these petitions:

1. Increased demand: The number of I-751 petitions has increased over the years, putting pressure on USCIS resources.

2. Staffing shortages: USCIS has experienced staffing shortages, first due to Trump’s no federal employee hiring and then Covid-19 pandemic, which have impacted USCIS’ ability to process cases in a timely manner.

3. COVID-19 pandemic: The pandemic has disrupted USCIS operations, causing delays in processing times for all types of applications.

4. Prioritization of other cases: USCIS has prioritized other types of cases, such as applications for citizenship, over I-751 petitions.

These factors have contributed to a backlog of I-751 petitions, leading to long processing times for those who are waiting for a decision on their case.

The Ukrainian humanitarian parolees who came through the U.S.-Mexico border in March and April 2022 situation is as follows:

- Most of these Ukrainians were granted a one-year parole only.

- Currently, the instructions for extending humanitarian parole as listed on the USCIS website are uncertain and might not be applicable to this situation.

- Lawyers and volunteers are working with immigration agencies and organizations trying to find a solution, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

- Once the parole expires, the Ukrainian individuals will no longer have lawful status in the U.S. and will start accruing unlawful presence, which could lead to negative consequences such as removal or deportation and impact future immigration goals.

- They will also lose eligibility for federal benefits and employment authorization and could lose state benefits depending on the state laws.

- USCIS is aware of the situation and is considering a solution to avoid loss of status or benefits for Ukrainian parolees such as opening and extending TPS (Temporary Protected Status) program. However, no definitive procedure or guidance from federal agencies has been announced yet.

- There is a possibility of re-parole through USCIS form I-131, but the process is lengthy with a processing time of 12-18 months and a filing fee of $575.

Another possibility is to leave the US and apply for United For Ukraine through USCIS form I-134 and when approved, filing I-131 and receiving an email confirmation to reenter but there is a risk of being denied so reentry would be impossible.

USCIS will start Adjudicating H-4, H-4 EAD, And L-2 Together With I-129 :

Because of recent court settlements, starting on January 25, 2023 it will be possible for H-4 and L-2 dependents to file form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, at the same time as either I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, or I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. It used to be possible to file these forms together, but in March 2019 policy changes started requiring additional biometrics from dependents, which required the forms to be filed separately and caused delays. Fortunately, the additional biometric requirement has now been suspended, and it is again possible to file these forms concurrently.

Practice Alert: Congress Passes the NDAA with H-2B and E Visa Changes

AILA Doc. No. 22121653 | Dated December 16, 2022
On December 15, 2022, Congress passed the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (H.R. 7776/NDAA). The NDAA contained two immigration-related provisions that impact the H-2B program and E visa eligibility.
Section 5901 of the NDAA extends eligibility for certain H-2B workers to be admitted to perform services in Guam and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) for an additional year, through December 31, 2024.
Section 5901 makes two important changes to eligibility for E visas:

1. Portugal has been designated as a treaty country.
2. Individuals who have acquired citizenship through financial investment must have been domiciled in that country for “a continuous period of not less than 3 years at any point before applying for an E nonimmigrant visa.”

Note: This residency requirement does not apply to individuals who has previously been granted E nonimmigrant status. However, this provision will limit use of "Citizenship by Investment" programs of countries, such as Grenada, that have enabled investors who acquire citizenship in a treaty visa country to obtain E-2 nonimmigrant visas while awaiting availability of an immigrant visa. These provisions are expected to take effect once the bill has been signed by the President, which will likely be within the next week.
AILA will monitor the implementation of the new E visa requirements and provide updates as necessary.
