Family Reunification Parole termination

  • Language around adjustment filing dates/termination is confusing
  • Considerations:
    • Smaller group of people impacted
    • Folks with parole entry remain eligible to adjust, regardless of whether they are still "in parole"

    • Caution: follow updates re: enforcement at USCIS/expedited removal
