Build Your Future Together

For many immigrants, their biggest fear is deportation and separation from loved ones. Thankfully, programs such as Deferred Action and Military Parole in Place offer temporary protection for those who qualify, giving families a chance to stay together and feel secure.

We understand how stressful these situations can be, and guide clients across the U.S. through every step of applying for these programs with compassion and attention to detail.

What is Deferred Action?

Deferred Action is a program that temporarily protects you from being deported. It does not give you permanent legal status or a green card, but it can provide:

Protection from deportation for a set period of time

Permission to work legally in the U.S. (if approved)

Peace of mind, allowing you to live without fear of being sent away immediately

Deferred Action is often granted in humanitarian situations (military service, serious health conditions, strong family ties, etc.) or when it is considered in the best interest of the U.S.

What is Military Parole in Place (PIP)?

Military Parole in Place is a special program for spouses, parents, and children of U.S. military members, veterans, and reservists.

It honors the sacrifices of military families by giving eligible family members the ability to:

  • Stay in the U.S. legally, even if they came without papers
  • Apply for permission to work in the U.S.
  • Apply for a green card without having to leave the country

Being Inside vs. Outside the U.S.

If You Are Currently Inside the U.S
  • Deferred Action may let you stay in the country and apply to work legally.
  • Military PIP can help you apply for a green card without leaving the country, even if you came without papers.
If You Are Currently Outside the U.S.
  • Deferred Action and Military PIP generally only apply to people already in the U.S.
  • If you’re outside the country, other options may include applying through a U.S. embassy or family-based applications.
