Parole in Place is an immigration process used by the U.S. government that allows certain undocumented individuals to legally remain in the United States temporarily. The current PIP program grants temporary legal status to undocumented family members of U.S. military personnel, veterans, and enlistees. If an undocumented individual is granted PIP, they are granted temporary protection from deportation, work authorization, and temporary legal status that can lead to permanent residency. PIP also provides a path to citizenship. The main benefit that PIP provides is the ability to apply for legal status without leaving the country. | |||
