Recordatorios sobre el Proceso para Promover la Unidad y Estabilidad de las Familias

El 18 de junio, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) anunció acciones para promover la unidad familiar en el proceso de inmigración. Este anuncio es consistente con el compromiso de la administración Biden-Harris de mantener unidas a las familias. DHS ha establecido este proceso para considerar, caso por caso, las solicitudes de permiso de permanencia en el país (“parole in place”) de ciertos no ciudadanos cónyuges de ciudadanos estadounidenses que han estado en Estados Unidos durante al menos una década. Si se les concede el permiso de permanencia en el país, los no ciudadanos que son elegibles para solicitar la residencia permanente legal basada en su matrimonio con un ciudadano estadounidense podrán hacerlo sin tener que salir de Estados Unidos.

USCIS no está aceptando solicitudes bajo este proceso en este momento. Comenzaremos a aceptar solicitudes el 19 de agosto. Si presenta su solicitud antes del 19 de agosto, la rechazaremos. Se publicará más información sobre la elegibilidad y el proceso de solicitud en una próxima notificación del Registro Federal.

Elegibilidad
Para ser considerado a una concesión discrecional del permiso de permanencia en el país, caso por caso, bajo este proceso, usted debe:

Estar presente en Estados Unidos sinhaber sido admitidoni tener permiso de permanencia temporal;

Haber estado presente de manera continua en Estados Unidos durante al menos 10 años al 17 de junio de 2024;

Haber estado en un matrimonio legalmente válido con un ciudadano estadounidense al 17 de junio de 2024;

No tener antecedentes penales que lo descualifiquen o que de otra manera constituyan una amenaza para la seguridad nacional o la seguridad pública; y

De otra manera, ameritar un ejercicio favorable de la discreción.
La próxima notificación del Registro Federal contendrá información adicional sobre estos criterios de elegibilidad.

También, podemos considerar a ciertos hijos no ciudadanos de solicitantes bajo este proceso si, al 17 de junio de 2024, estaban físicamente presentes en Estados Unidos sin haber sido admitido ni tener permiso de permanencia temporal, y tienen una relación de hijastro cualificada con un ciudadano estadounidense.

Cronograma
Todavía no puede presentar una solicitud bajo este proceso. Publicaremos una notificación en el Registro Federal que explicará con más detalle la elegibilidad y el proceso de solicitud, incluido el formulario a utilizar y las tarifas de presentación asociadas. Si presenta su solicitud antes de la fecha de implementación indicada en la notificación del Registro Federal, rechazaremos su solicitud.

Proporcionaremos información adicional en la página web Proceso para Promover la Unidad y Estabilidad de las Familias a medida que esté disponible.

Lo que Puede Hacer Ahora
Aunque actualmente no aceptamos solicitudes, usted puede comenzar a prepararse para presentar una solicitud de permiso de permanencia en el país reuniendo evidencia de su elegibilidad, como:

Evidencia de un matrimonio legalmente válido con un ciudadano estadounidense al 17 de junio de 2024, como un certificado de matrimonio;

Reminders on the Process to Promote the Unity and Stability of Families

On June 18, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced actions to promote family unity in the immigration process. This announcement is consistent with the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to keep families together. DHS is establishing a process to consider, on a case-by-case basis, requests for parole in place from certain noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens who have been in the U.S. for at least a decade. If parole is granted, noncitizens who are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence based on their marriage to a U.S. citizen will be able to do so without having to leave the United States.

USCIS is not currently accepting applications under this process. We will begin accepting applications on Aug. 19. If you apply before Aug. 19, we will reject your application. More information about eligibility and the application process will be published in a forthcoming Federal Register notice.

Eligibility
To be considered for a discretionary grant of parole, on a case-by-case basis, under this process, you must:

Be present in the United States without admission or parole;

Have been continuously present in the United States for at least 10 years as of June 17, 2024;

Have a legally valid marriage to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024;

Not have any disqualifying criminal history or otherwise constitute a threat to national security or public safety; and

Otherwise merit a favorable exercise of discretion.
More information about these eligibility criteria will be available in the forthcoming Federal Register notice.

We may also consider certain noncitizen children of requestors under this process if, as of June 17, 2024, they were physically present in the United States without admission or parole, and have a qualifying stepchild relationship to a U.S. citizen.

Timeline
You cannot apply for this process yet. We will publish a Federal Register notice that will further explain eligibility and the application process, including the form to use, and the associated filing fees. If you apply before the implementation date in the Federal Register notice, we will reject your application.

We will provide additional information on the Process to Promote the Unity and Stability of Families webpage as it becomes available.

What You Can Do Now
Although we are not currently accepting applications, you can begin to prepare to file a parole application by gathering evidence of your eligibility, such as:

Evidence of a legally valid marriage to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024, such as a marriage certificate;

Documentation of proof of identity, including expired documents, may include:
Valid state or country driver’s license or identification;
Birth certificate with photo identification;
Valid passport; or
Any government issued document bearing the requestor’s name, date of birth, and photo.
Evidence of your spouse’s U.S. citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or Certificate of Naturalization;

Documentation to establish your continued presence in the United States for at least 10 years, as of June 17, 2024. While more information will be made available in the forthcoming Federal Register Notice and subsequent FAQs, examples of documentation could include copies of:
Rent receipts or utility bills;
School records (letters, report cards, etc.);
Hospital or medical records;
Attestations to your residence by religious entities, unions, or other organizations, identifying you by name;
Official records from a religious entity confirming participation in a religious ceremony;
Money order receipts for money sent into or out of the United States;
Birth certificates of children born in the United States;
Dated bank transactions;
Automobile license receipts, title, or registration;
Deeds, mortgages, or rental agreement contracts;
Insurance policies; or
Tax returns or tax receipts.
For noncitizen children of requestors, evidence of eligibility could include:

Evidence of the child’s relationship to the noncitizen parent, such as a birth certificate or adoption decree;

Evidence of the noncitizen parent’s legally valid marriage to a U.S. citizen as of June 17, 2024, such as a marriage certificate; and

Evidence of the child’s presence in the United States as of June 17, 2024.

Very worth reading❤️
Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves),
Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new movie at one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
❤️Get your t-shirt: https://www.nativespiritstores.com/tee87
The club owner said: “I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to get in - he didn't say anything to anyone.”
"He travels by public transport."
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the streets and helps them."
- He was only 60 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can only eat hot dogs in the park, sitting among normal people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skills.
- He gave up most of the salaries of the costume designers and computer scientists who drew the special effects on "The Matrix" - deciding that their share of the film's budget was assessed short.
- He reduced his salary for the movie "The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend passed away; His girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister suffered from leukemia.
Keanu didn't fail: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to be filmed (to be with her), and founded the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant amounts from each fee for the movie.
You may have been born a man, but stay a man..
