At Luque Law Firm, P.A., we honor the sacrifices of our U.S. military service members, veterans, and their families.

Our experienced immigration attorneys will guide you through the process, ensuring your loved ones receive the support they need while you serve our country.
What Is Military Parole in Place (PIP)?
Parole in Place (PIP) is a special immigration benefit that allows certain undocumented immediate relatives of U.S. military personnel to apply for lawful presence in the United States. This process can also help qualifying family members adjust their status to lawful permanent residency (green card holders) without leaving the country.
Who Qualifies for Parole in Place?
To be eligible for Military Parole in Place, an applicant must:
- Be the spouse, parent, widow/widower, or child (under 21 and unmarried) of a:
- U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder) on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces; or
- Veteran (honorably discharged) of the U.S. Armed Forces, Selected Reserve, or Ready Reserve.
- Currently be in the U.S. without lawful status.
- Not have a serious criminal history or be considered a threat to national security.
Benefits of Military Parole in Place (PIP)
- Protection from Deportation – PIP grants temporary lawful status, reducing the risk of removal.
- Work Authorization (Employment Authorization Document – EAD) – Applicants may qualify for a work permit while under parole.
- Pathway to a Green Card – With PIP, eligible relatives can adjust status in the U.S. instead of leaving for consular processing.
- Peace of Mind for Military Families – Ensures that service members can focus on their duties without fear of family separation.
