What is the Parole-in-Place Announcement By President Biden?

On June 18, 2024, President Joe Biden announced a series of immigration actions by using an Executive Order (“EO”). The EO, formally known as Parole-in-Place, are designed to help certain undocumented aliens obtain lawful presence within the United States.  It consists of the following:

  1. Spouses and children of U.S. citizens who have been living in the United States for at least ten (10) years. 

These individuals may be eligible for lawful permanent residency if, as of June 17, 2024:

  • Are inside the United States after entering illegally;
  • Spent 10 consecutive, uninterrupted years in the United States;
  • Married to a U.S. citizen or have a qualifying step-parent/step-child relationship with a U.S. citizen and;
  • Do not have a certain criminal history or pose a threat to national security or public safety.

If the person meets these requirements, he or she may be eligible for parole-in-place. Parole would be granted for a one-time period of three (3) years and the person may also be eligible for employment authorization for up to three years. If granted parole, the person may apply to become a lawful permanent resident within 3 years of approval. 

Eligibility for this benefit will be determined on a case-by-case basis. 

  1. College Educated DACA Recipients and Dreamers who are qualified for nonimmigrant status including H-1B Specialty Occupations. 

These individuals may be eligible for a nonimmigrant visa if they:

  • Have a degree from an accredited U.S. college or university;
  • Have received an employment offer from a U.S. employer in a field related to your degree.

While the EO offers promise to those who qualify, it is important to note that these programs have not started. 

Applicants who apply early for these benefits will be rejected. It is also important to note that these programs may be challenged in federal courts and could delay implementation or prevent the program from starting.

Can I travel outside the U.S. and return after my I-829 is denied?

Traveling outside the United States after a Form I-829 Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (“I-829 Petition”) denial is highly risky and strongly discouraged. While you, the investor and your family members, legally retain your Conditional Lawful Permanent Resident (“CPR”) status until a final administrative order of removal is issued by an immigration judge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) enforces strict border policies, although improper, that can challenge your ability to return. Filing the I-829 Petition is the final step for investors in the U.S. EB-5 immigrant investor visa program.  An approval of the I-829 Petition removes the two-year conditional restrictions on an investor’s residency, granting lawful permanent resident status, and allowing the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21 to receive a 10-year “Green Card”. The denial of the I-829 Petition does not immediately result in loss of an investor’s CPR status.  The

Regional Center Job Creation under the RIA

When evaluating whether an EB-5 investment meets the requirement that an investor create at least 10 jobs for qualified U.S. workers, there is now more guidance under the RIA than before.  In general, an investment in a business sponsored by a Regional Center does not require all qualifying jobs come from employees hired directly by the business. Indirect and induced job creation based on approved methodologies remains the core of the Regional Center program advantage. As before the RIA, investors may rely on economically and statistically valid methodologies to determine the number of jobs attributable to the investment. These methodologies may be used to support estimates of directly created jobs and, where permitted under the statute, jobs created directly or indirectly through capital expenditures, increased export revenues, enhanced regional productivity, and broader domestic capital investment generated by the project. However, indirect job creation is now lightly restricted with only a
