My mother and I entered the United States when I was a child. We were not legally admitted. After we arrived, my mother married a U.S. citizen. I think I meet all the eligibility requirements to apply for parole in place (PIP) under the new program. However, my mother passed away several years ago. Can I still apply for PIP?

Answer

Yes, a stepchild of a U.S. citizen does not need to apply with their noncitizen parent. However, you need to establish a child-parent relationship with your stepfather. (21.Aug.2024)
