On August 19, 2024, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will launch a groundbreaking initiative known as the "Path to Citizenship" program. This program marks a significant shift in US immigration policy, offering a beacon of hope to over 500,000 undocumented foreign national spouses and 50,000 foreign national stepchildren of US citizens who entered the country without proper documentation. The program's primary aim is to provide these individuals with a clear pathway to permanent residency and, ultimately, citizenship. A key component of this initiative is the implementation of immigration parole, which allows eligible non-citizens to reside and work in the United States without fear of deportation.
