Understanding Parole in Place (PIP) for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

Parole in Place (PIP) offers a critical immigration option for spouses of U.S. citizens who entered the United States without formal admission, enabling them to seek permanent residency without leaving the U.S. Additionally, the program will benefit certain undocumented noncitizen step-children of U.S. citizens. This page explores the PIP process, eligibility, and how the experienced attorneys at Zneimer & Zneimer P.C. in Chicago can assist in navigating this complex pathway to residency.
