New Practice Advisory For Immigration Practitioners
The United Stateless Practice Advisory corresponds to the recently announced USCIS Stateless Policy, offering practical guidance to immigration practitioners representing stateless individuals. The Advisory focuses on Deferred Action and Parole in Place benefits for stateless people, and will be updated as we learn more. We kindly request that immigration lawyers share information and updates in cases on behalf of stateless clients. Please provide data on case filings, intermediate progress, and outcomes using this form. The United Stateless team will use anonymized case examples from practitioners to update this Practice Advisory and for ongoing advocacy with the Department for Homeland Security.
