Parole-In-Place --US Immediate Relatives--Workshop Video Part 1

Since we conducted this workshop we have heard two things of importance:

1. USCIS is not likely to grant parole-in-place to immediate relatives of US citizens unless the I-130 (or I-360 for abuse victims and widows/widowers) has been filed. Note, however, USCIS continues to be sympathetic to specific cases where extreme hardship exists caused by medical issues (handicapped or disabled individuals, special needs children).

2. If USCIS denies the parole-in-place application, it is likely to turn over the name and information about the foreign national to ICE. This means that removal proceedings will likely be filed against you more promptly than if you did not file the parole-in-place application.

Just a caution.

Parole-In-Place Workshops

UPDATE: Change of Venue-Rota (see below in red)

REMINDER: We've already held the parole-in-place workshop for IRs of FAS citizens. Those who didn't attend can pick up the folder with forms at our office.

We're having a parole-in-place workshop for IRs of US citizens on Saipan on 10/16 (Sunday) at 1 PM at American Memorial Park. We're also holding similar workshops in Rota and Tinian. (October 13--Rota at Rota Mayor's Office at noon; October 14--Tinian at TES at 3 PM).

Then we'll have a final parole-in-place workshop for CNMI permanent residents and those born between 1974 and 1978 on October 23 at 1 PM at American Memorial Park.

There is no charge for these workshops. However, space is limited and when the auditorium is full, the doors will be closed. Please do not bring minor children to the workshops. Please do not leave minor children unattended in the Park, museum or giftshop.

Second Parole-In-Place Workshop

The Marianas Office of Micronesian Legal Services Corporation will be hosting a series of workshops to help people prepare Parole-In-Place applications. These workshops are aimed at those foreign nationals / aliens who have no other options for their status. Each workshop targets a specific category of foreign nationals who are likely to have success or may have a good chance at success in getting Parole-In-Place from the USCIS.



The SECOND workshop is scheduled for Sunday, October 16, 2011 at American Memorial Park at 1 PM. It is for ONLY those foreign nationals who are 1) spouses or widows/widowers of or 2) parents or children of citizens of the United States of America.

Parole-In-Place is an option of last-resort. Generally speaking, where other options are available, like the CW permit for those employed, those options should be exhausted first. Although MLSC will conduct the workshop to help people understand the process and put together their applications, no individual legal advice will be given. MLSC will not be accepting cases or filing on behalf of those who attend the workshops. The purpose of the session is simply to help get information out and help people utilize the process as successfully as they can.

Each workshop will be conducted in English. Each workshop is limited by the capacity of the auditorium at American Memorial Park. If there are no auditorium seats available, the sessions will be closed. For more information, contact the Marianas Office at 234-6243.
