In this bilingual (Spanglish) live stream, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq., together with a bilingual moderator, explains the newly announced President Biden family parole (parole‑in‑place) program that will begin accepting applications on August 19, 2024. The attorney outlines the program’s purpose, the specific eligibility requirements (spouse of a U.S. citizen, physically present in the United States, entered without inspection, at least ten years of continuous presence dating back to June 17 2014, and married to the citizen on or before June 17 2024). She details the types of documentary evidence applicants should begin gathering now—proof of the citizen spouse’s status, proof of marriage, and proof of ten‑year physical presence—while noting that the USCIS form and filing fee have not yet been released. The discussion covers procedural expectations (possible work permit, green‑card adjustment, estimated processing time of 1‑2 years versus the current 4‑6 year waiver route), uncertainties (fee, exact form, processing timeline, and the fact that the program is an executive order that could be rescinded by a future administration). The attorney answers audience questions about children’s eligibility, interaction with VAWA cases, removal orders, and the fate of applications if the program is later cancelled. Practical advice emphasizes gathering documentation now, submitting as soon as the portal opens, and contacting the attorney’s office for personalized assistance. The tone shifts between instructional, reassuring, and cautionary, reflecting both optimism about the new benefit and realistic warnings about its provisional nature.
