Parole can be a confusing word, but the idea behind it is simple: it is special permission from the U.S. government that lets someone enter or return to the country legally — usually for an important reason.

Many people ask about parole when they need to travel for an emergency, protect their immigration process, or help a family member. At Rebecca Kitson Law, we explain which type of parole fits your situation and guide you through each step with clear, easy explanations.

Parole is not a long-term immigration status, but it can be a life-changing tool when you need it most.

Types of Parole We Help With

Advance Parole for DACA or Adjustment Applicants
For people who need permission to travel outside the U.S. and return safely. This may be useful if you have DACA, are applying for a green card, or need to travel for an urgent reason.

Travel Authorization for TPS Holders
TPS recipients often need to visit family or handle emergencies abroad. We help you request travel permission that allows you to leave and return without risking your protection or work authorization.

Military Parole in Place
For spouses, parents, or children of U.S. service members or veterans. This program helps families stay together while their loved one serves the country.

Humanitarian Parole
For people facing urgent or compassionate situations, such as medical emergencies, safety concerns, or family reunifications. We prepare strong, well-documented requests so the government understands the seriousness of your case.

Someone with DACA wants to visit family abroad for humanitarian reasons. We prepare the application so they can travel, return legally, and protect their status.
