Bill > HR3529

This bill, called the "Protect Patriot Parents Act", aims to help certain military parents obtain legal immigration status by modifying existing immigration laws. Specifically, the bill provides a pathway for parents of U.S. military service members to adjust their immigration status more easily. Parents would be eligible if their child is currently serving or has served in the active military or reserve forces and was discharged under honorable conditions. The bill allows these parents to be deemed legally inspected and admitted into the United States and provides discretionary waivers for certain immigration violations. Key provisions include waiving some grounds of inadmissibility, such as previous unlawful presence or immigration violations, if the parent can demonstrate they do not pose a public threat and have not committed criminal offenses unrelated to their immigration status. Additionally, the bill creates a program allowing parents who were previously removed from the U.S. to apply for an immigrant visa from abroad and potentially obtain a nonimmigrant visa to reunite with their military service member child while their application is pending. The goal is to provide relief and a more straightforward path to legal status for parents of those who have served in the U.S. military.
