Military Parole In Place

Military Parole in Place allows certain undocumented relatives of U.S. military members to stay in the U.S., avoid deportation, and potentially apply for a green card.

All Options

Military Parole in Place

Military Parole in Place (PIP) is a discretionary policy that allows certain undocumented individuals to remain in the U.S. without facing immediate removal, based on their relationship to U.S. military personnel. It provides a critical opportunity to preserve family unity and support those who serve or have served in the armed forces.

Who Qualifies for Military PIP?

Military Parole in Place is available to:

Spouses, children, or parents of active-duty U.S. military members
Immediate family of individuals serving in the Selected Reserve or previously served and were honorably discharged
Widows or widowers of U.S. service members

Applicants must demonstrate good moral character, have no serious criminal history, and be free from extensive immigration violations.

What Are the Benefits?

When granted, Military PIP provides the following benefits:

Protection from deportation for a specified period (typically one year, renewable)
Eligibility to apply for a work permit (employment authorization)
Eligibility to apply for adjustment of status (green card), depending on the case
No requirement to leave the U.S. for consular processing

This policy helps prevent separation of military families and minimizes the stress and disruption that could affect a service member’s readiness or wellbeing.

How to Apply for Military Parole in Place

To apply, the undocumented family member must submit the following:

Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, with “Military PIP” handwritten in Part 2 (no filing fee required)
Proof of relationship, such as birth or marriage certificates and documentation of any previous marriage terminations
Military identification or service records of the sponsoring military member
Proof of enrollment in DEERS (Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System)
A letter of support from the service member (if applicable)

Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and granted for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.
