Waivers Parole

Parole-in-Place~parole-in-place is available to military spouses, but also a broader group of people

Congress granted the parole power to the President in 1952, but in 2012 DHS issued a formal set of rules explaining when it will issue parole-in-place to the spouses of those who serve or served honorably in the US military.

In 2008, Michael Chertoff, then Secretary of Department of Homeland Security during the Bush Administration, made the first use of parole-in-place for the spouse of a US Army soldier who was missing in action.  Department of Homeland Security then began granting parole-in-place to other military spouses on a case-by-case basis, but without any specific, announced policy.
