U.S law allows persons who have been denied visas, or who are ineligible for a visa, to be paroled into the United States on a temporary basis for Urgent Humanitarian Reasons or for a Significant Public Benefit. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) uses its discretion to authorize Humanitarian Parole.

The Humanitarian Parole process is not meant to circumvent regular visa issuance procedures or to avoid applying for a waiver of inadmissibility.

The Laws and regulations relating to Humanitarian Parole are complex and such requests are often denied. You need an attorney who understands these complexities and the process is able to put you best case forward for consideration.

Humanitarian parole can only be requested outside of the United States by the person intending to enter, a sponsoring relative, an attorney, or other interested individual or organization. These applications are very difficult to get approved and require detailed documentation about the intended parolee, information about the family member(s) in the United States, the reasons for entering the United States, and evidence of sufficient financial resources to support the parolee while in the United States.

US Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents can bring their relatives to the country by filing a family petition.

When a green card holder obtains his green card through marriage but was married to his spouse for less than two years at the time the green card was approved, the green card will be conditional, not permanent. This conditional residence will expire two years after the date of issuance. This status is conditional because the applicant must prove to USCIS that the marriage was not entered solely for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit.  To remove this conditional status, both the green card holder and his or her spouse, must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, within 90 days of the expiration of the conditional green card.

The United States is one of the most desirable countries for immigrants all over the globe to start a fresh new life. Millions of immigrants around the world want a U.S. green card and are willing to risk a lot to get one. One of the more common ways to qualify for a green card, or a permit to reside and work in the U.S. long term, is to marry a U.S. citizen (USC) or Cuban Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).

It may be tempting to try to help someone enter the U.S. (and make a quick buck) by simply marrying them at the courthouse and going your separate ways; however, marriage Fraud Defense is actually a very serious crime with consequences for both the immigrant and the USC or LPR.  For the immigrant, if USCIS finds you as having committed Marriage Fraud Defense, or violating INA 204(C), they will be barred from adjusting their status by any other means indefinitely.  For the USC or LPR, they could face serious fines of up to $250,000.00 and 5 years in prison.  Sometimes, the couple actually did commit Fraud Defense, and other times, the couple was legitimate but simply did not do well at their Stokes Immigration Interview, and the government erroneously accused them of marriage fraud.  At Immigration Lawyers USA, we have worked with countless individuals, helping them to overcome erroneous marriage fraud charges, and we may be able to help you, too.

Often, immigrants are taken advantage of and abused because they are not yet permanent residents or citizens of the United States.  Their US spouses can believe that they are “above the law” and use the immigrant’s sensitive immigration status – or lack thereof – against them as a fear or intimidation tactic.  Even worse, some immigrant spouses, parents or children of Lawful Permanent Residents or US Citizens are subject to extreme cruelty and battery at the hands of their US Citizen or Resident family member.  For this reason, in 1994, Congress passed the Violence against Women (VAWA) Act, to provide opportunities for battered non-citizen spouses and children to self-petition for legal permanent residence. VAWA legislation was most recently re-authorized in 2013 thanks to the efforts of immigration advocacy and domestic violence prevention groups.
