So let me get this straight immediate relatives who enter without inspection and are granted parole in place get a green card and the opportunity to apply for citizenship down the road, but preference individuals who enter with a visa and overstay get the guillotine of deferred action? They can stay as long as DHS sees fit and give USCIS money every year for a work permit. If these preference individuals want to have the same chance as their entry without inspection immediate relative brethren, they will have to leave the US when their visas become available, trigger the 212a9b bar, and roll the dice on a I-601 waiver. This sounds like an absurd result to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399750140932278409.post-21381233373040306882011-01-05T19:50:05.021-08:002011-01-05T19:50:05.021-08:00We have provided various administrative solutions ...We have provided various administrative solutions in our blog post, and parole in place is one of them. We acknowledge that parole in place would only apply to someone who can qualify as an immediate relative but is unable to adjust since s/he entered without inspection. Someone who was inspected and admitted does not need parole in place if s/he is eligible for adjustment as an immediate relative. <br /><br />Those who do not qualify as immediate relatives and thus unable to adjust, but are here without status can still be granted deferred action with employment authorization, irrespective of whether they were admitted or not.Cyrus D.

Anyone who enters the country with a nonimmigrant visa and overstays is ineligible for parole pursuant to 212d5a of the Act because they are not considered applicants for admission. A large percentage of the undocumented population in the US entered legally and stayed to long. Therefore, using parole in place for individuals who entered without a visa creates an inequitable solution that is no better than the current situation. Illegal entrants would be placed in a better position than people who entered legally and overstayed. 212d5a was never intended to be used within the US to make an individual eligible for adjustment of status for this reason and a couple others that take longer to explain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399750140932278409.post-62630371019152374142010-12-19T15:33:48.229-08:002010-12-19T15:33:48.229-08:00Except that most American's don't want the...Except that most American's don't want the Dream Act to pass.
