Consular Processing & Paroles

 

Consular Processing

Once a person has been approved for an immigrant petition, they are assigned a case number from the National Visa Center. Associated fees must be paid and a visa application is then submitted along with appropriate documentation known as Civil Documents to the U.S. Department of State. Once a visa becomes available, the person must then attend an interview at the U.S Consulate in their country of origin to come to the United States and be admitted as a permanent resident. This process is called consular processing.

MIitary Parole in Place

Parole in place allows a foreign national who came into the United States without authorization to stay for a certain period of time as the immediate relative of a military member and/or veteran. Parole in place is granted on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. There is a possibility of being able to obtain legal permanent residency through parole in place. .

Advanced Parole

Advanced parole in a travel authorization allows a person to travel back to the U.S without the need to apply for a visa. However, advanced parole does not guarantee that one will be allowed to reenter the U.S as the final decision lies with a U.S Customs and Border Officer.

You may apply for advance parole if you currently reside in the U.S. and have a personal or emergency reason to travel temporarily abroad and or you have a pending application for adjustment of status, been granted benefits under the Family Unity Program, have: An application for adjustment of status pending, been granted benefits under the Family Unity Program, or been granted temporary protected status.
