I guess this means I qualify. Married for 18 years and yes, I do have a marriage license. 3 kids all US citizens including my wife. No criminal record, all my medical records obviously from here including immunizations. I Graduated in 2004. Almost everyone in my family is a US citizen except maybe a few who are lawful US Residents. If you're wondering how I ended up here it's simple, some of us get a bad hand at life and some get it even worse. I didn't have good parents they basically just gave up on me. Now after so many years of being left to clean up their mess I may finally have a way to stay home. The idea of being sent to a place I'm not from is horrifying especially when you see how bad it can be. The only thing I don't have is a Government issued ID since I was brought to the US when I was weeks old. I do have a birth certificate. All my brothers and sisters are US citizens including my older sister I am the 2nd born. I have conflicting stories how I inherited this problem. Too bad I'm not in Dallas. Hopefully the courts don't block this because just being honest I am sick of constantly having to pay the price for the decisions other people made.
@blankr5267 it looks like you've made the best of what life handed you. Very admirable trait. If your spouse is a U.S. citizen, then this PIP program can work to your benefit. Also, we hope that Dreamer legislation will gain traction next year and you could possibly benefit from that as well. Your perseverance is your strength!
I have deportation order for 18 years and 15 years on supervision, I'm married legal to immigration 17 years now, my wife, she is US citizens and two kids US citizens, no criminals cases, I'm working, every year I renewed my Authorization employment, now what I can do to get green card
Hi Gina. Generally, crewmembers are not eligible for adjustment of status. The USCIS web page on the PIP program says that, in addition to meeting the basic requirements, you must show that you are eligible for adjustment of status. We don't have more information to go by beyond this general statement, so we'll have to wait for USCIS to publish its guidance, which we expect them to do this week (hopefully). Thank you.
Hi Phu, the PIP program is strictly for individuals who entered without inspection ("EWI"). If you have a K-1 visa, you are generally required to adjust status through the original U.S. citizen petitioner with a few exceptions. Thank you for your question!
Nothing would prevent you from seeking both options at the same time and seeing what sticks. As you know, the waiver option is not a sure thing. You still have to convince USCIS that extreme hardship exists in your immigration case (particularly to a qualifying relative). At the same time, we can't say for certain with the PIP program will stick around. Things can happen like litigation or elections that could cause some serious problems for the program's future. That said, consult with a lawyer to discuss your facts in particular, and see what's best for you! Thanks for you question.
When PIP opens up to apply, can you apply for i-130 and i-485 at the same time with PIP? 130 and 485 takes about 10-14 months so is it OK to apply at the same time
The I-130 yes (in accordance w/ the I-130 filing instructions--it shouldn't be physically filed with your PIP request). The I-485 is different. Im going to say no if you're not eligible for adjustment of status at the time of filing since you don't have evidence of parole. But some folks already have the I-130 filed already, though its not a requirement for PIP.
Well, without going into the waiver denial, there's nothing preventing you from seeking the PIP option. A waiver denial wouldn't stop you or disqualify you from seeking an alternative option like PIP.
@@jessa3062 USCIS will most likely rely on its policy (and maybe they said this already) that uses for denied DACA applications. That is, if the applicant has a criminal record that is serious enough, they can always be transferred for removal proceedings. But a denial based on lack of evidence or something simple like that, doubtful they do anything beyond a denial letter. Just like with DACA.
I am a permanent resident, I am becoming a US Citizen by the end of this year, can my husband apply for PIP after obtaining my citizenship? He has I-130 approved and waiting on the I-601 A submitted 1 yr and a half ago. Thank you.
Hi Carolina, that's a very common question. As it is written, the PIP program requirements indicate you have to be married to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024. But that's not to say, USCIS could not clarify or change that requirement in the future. It's a policy, not a law. So they could modify it relatively easy if they believe they've overlooked a group that could benefit from the program.

Would they approve this if spouse is still out the country?
Your spouse has to be physically in the U.S. as of June 17, 2024, and must show they've been here for at least ten years.

What about the jumpship people are they qualified? Been married for 18 years and been here 18 years.

Overstay k1 visa over 10 years , and have married with US citizen, is that qualified for parole in place?

I’m waiting for 601a waiver answer. Can apply for parole in place

Can you file concurrent with work permit forms?
for prof of documents will 10 years of W2s will work ?
Yeah. It has worked in the DACA context.

What if we had a 601 waiver denied because our lawyer was incompetent and contradicted with Dr. I had seen
