The Family Unity Program

On June 18, 2024 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced actions to promote family unity in the immigration process. This announcement is consistent with the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to keep families together.

DHS is now establishing a process to consider requests for parole in place from certain non-citizen spouses of U.S. citizens who have been in the U.S. for at least a decade. If parole is granted, non-citizens who are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence based on their marriage to a U.S. citizen will be able to do so without having to leave the United States.
