The DACA program has been on the forefront of the immigration debate so please contact our office for more information on the legality and eligibility of this program.

The US makes use of this. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is responsible for monitoring foreign nationals to identify those who has been arrested, released, and are awaiting a final deportation order.

Even though your final deportation order has been issued, you may still be eligible for an OSUP to cover the brief period before removal.

If you have a family member such as a spouse, child, or parent who served or is currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces you might be eligible for Parole in Place also known as PIP. The benefits of PIP include, being able to obtain a work permit, and possibly being eligible to become a Legal Permanent Resident. To qualify for PIP:

• You need a spouse, child, or parent that served or is currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces and was not dishonorably discharged;
• Your family member needs to depend on you in some way; and
• You must have good moral character.
