**Please note the Family Unity Parole in Place as part of the Keeping Families Together program is currently being litigated. The videos and Toolkit are current as of their publication dates. Please find updated information on the lawsuit here: https://www.uscis.gov/keepingfamiliestogether. On August 26, 2024, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in Texas v. Department of Homeland Security, Case Number 24-cv-306 administratively stayed DHS from granting parole in place under Keeping Families Together for 14 days. On September 5, the stay was extended until September 23, 2024. During the stay, USCIS will accept applications but cannot approve applications.
This video and accompanying Toolkit were created to help legal service providers design and implement pro se legal clinics where volunteers can help eligible individuals complete and submit applications for the Family Unity Parole in Place program. The clinic model aims to help legal service providers (1) meet the needs of the community seeking Parole in Place, and (2) encourage pro bono work, while using minimal organizational resources.
