Humanitarian Parole Lawyer Queens, New York
Humanitarian parole is authorized under INA § 212(d)(5)(A) (8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A)), which grants the Secretary of Homeland Security discretion to parole into the United States temporarily, on a case-by-case basis, for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. This provision allows individuals who are otherwise inadmissible or who lack a visa to enter the U.S. for a specific period. The parole period is typically one to two years, and parole does not confer lawful permanent resident status. Applicants must demonstrate an urgent need, such as a medical emergency, family reunification in crisis, or a compelling public interest. The application is filed with USCIS using Form I-131, and supporting evidence must establish the humanitarian or public benefit grounds. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. — Advocacy Without Borders — brings 120+ years combined legal experience to guide clients through this complex process.
