President Biden Announces New Policies to Provide Immigration Relief for Certain Undocumented Individuals

June 25, 2024
Immigration & Naturalization Law, President Biden’s Immigration Orders & Policies

On June 18, 2024, the Biden administration announced two major new policies which will help provide streamlined paths to legal status for certain undocumented immigrants.
The first policy will allow undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens who have been living in the United States for at least 10 years to apply for “parole in place,” a protection against deportation which will also allow many to access a path to permanent resident status.
The second policy will allow individuals with DACA and undocumented immigrants who have graduated college to apply for certain employment-based nonimmigrant visas.

Please Note: These programs have not yet begun. Details on how to apply are expected to be released by the end of summer through a Federal Registration Notice.
