The Biden administration has launched the 'Parole in Place' program, also known as 'Keeping Families Together,' allowing around 500,000 undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for legal status without having to leave the country. This initiative includes an additional 50,000 stepchildren of U.S. citizens. To qualify, applicants must have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and been married to a U.S. citizen before June 17, 2024. The program aims to prevent family separations and improve economic and emotional stability for these families. However, those who do not meet the criteria face difficult choices, such as leaving the country voluntarily. Community organizations are holding informational workshops to help applicants understand the process and requirements.
