WHAT IS PAROLE?
Parole is a discretionary permission to stay in the United States.
Parole Program v.
Family Reunification Act
The Filipino World War II Veterans Parole Policy offers certain beneficiaries of approved family-based immigrant visa petition the opportunity to request a discretionary grant of parole.
Parole is not a visa; however, it allows the veterans’ children to enter the United States and to work temporarily.
The main purpose of the Parole Program for Filipino World War II Veterans is to allow their children to come to the United States in order to provide them the care they need.
While on parole, their children can stay in the U.S. until their priority date becomes current.
WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE PAROLE POLICY?Children of Filipino World War II Veterans and their derivative spouses, and children below 21-years-old. The parole policy extends to the grandchildren of the Filipino Veterans.
