UPDATE: On September 4, a federal court in Texas has extended the temporary stay, halting USCIS from granting approvals for Parole in Place (PIP) applications for spouses and specific stepchildren of U.S. citizens. During this period, which may extend beyond September 23, USCIS will still receive PIP applications but will not issue any approvals. Applicants need to be aware that a filing fee of $580 is required at the time of submission, and there is a possibility of losing this fee if USCIS remains unable to process requests. For more details, such as screening and eligibility criteria, please visit https://lnkd.in/etrz44cY.
