Applications for Biden's Executive Order Begin Today: A Path to Permanent Residency

Hola, Mi gente, I'm attorney María Mendoza, and I'm here to bring you good news. As we've discussed before, the Biden administration announced a new Parole program on June 16th of this year, which can benefit millions of people who are married to US citizens and are in a difficult immigration situation. This is a great day for many in the immigrant community who have been living in uncertainty, not knowing if they would be deported back to their country after living, working, and building a family in the US. But now, the Biden administration has started accepting applications for this parole, and I'm here to tell you what you need to do to qualify.

Requirements for the Parole Program: Who Qualifies to Fix Their Papers?

Although there's new information about this parole, the requirements remain the same as we've discussed in previous blogs and lives. To qualify for this program, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be married to a US citizen since June 16th of this year

• Have at least 10 years of presence in the US

• Not have any serious criminal offenses on your record

• Not have been previously deported

• Demonstrate continuous presence in the US

Benefits of the Parole Program: A New Path to Permanent Residency!

This Parole offers many benefits for those who are eligible to apply, including the possibility of fixing their papers without leaving the US, a 3-year work permit, and the ability to travel outside the US without fear of deportation. Additionally, those who obtain this Parole can apply for permanent residency in the future.

Permanent Bar: What Does it Mean and How Does it Affect the Parole Program?

Another aspect that has affected the immigrant community in America is Permanent Bar, which applies to people who have left the US illegally multiple times or have been previously deported and re-entered the US illegally. This represents a significant problem for those seeking to regularize their immigration status. Although this program does not allow those under Permanent Bart to access permanent residency, they can still obtain a 3-year work permit, which is a significant benefit.

Other Options for People with Permanent Bar: Humanitarian Visas

Although this program may not help achieve permanent residency, there are other ways, as we've discussed before. There are Humanitarian Visas that can be an alternative for those with Permanent Bar seeking permanent residency in the US. These are the 3 humanitarian visas that exist:

• Visa T: Applies to victims of crimes committed by US citizens within the US

• Visa VAWA: Applies to victims of abuse or aggression by their US citizen or resident spouses or children

• Visa U: Applies to victims of human trafficking within the US, such as those smuggled by coyotes

In conclusion, the Parole program pushed by the Biden administration is an opportunity for those married to US citizens who want to fix their immigration status. However, it's crucial to know the requirements, as not everyone will qualify. Another vital point is to seek the help of an expert attorney in these matters.
