United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 15 other states are suing the Biden administration over its latest immigration proposal that would provide legal status to some undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens.

Immigrant spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens can apply for parole in place starting Monday, Aug. 19. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency estimates more than half a million people are eligible for the program.
