Military Parole in Place (MIL-PIP)

Military Parole in Place (MIL-PIP) is a special immigration benefit designed to support the families of U.S. military members and veterans, including those who are deceased. This program offers temporary permission for spouses, parents, and children of military members to remain in the United States while they work toward obtaining permanent legal status.

Key benefits of MIL-PIP include:

• Work Authorization: Recipients can legally work in the United States.
• Protection from Unlawful Presence Accrual: Individuals do not accrue unlawful presence during the parole period.
• Eligibility for Immigration Benefits Requiring Lawful Entry: MIL-PIP enables family members to apply for immigration benefits that would typically require lawful entry, even for those who might otherwise face prolonged bars due to unlawful presence.

MIL-PIP reflects a commitment to honoring the sacrifices of military families by providing them with opportunities to build a stable life in the U.S.
