Looking to work in the USA? The Family Reunification Parole is a program that allows people who want to work or permanently move to the United States to do so without any issue if they have a close relative who is legally living in the country and that relative applies for a visa on their behalf to sponsor them.
Although, not everyone can access this option because they must meet certain requirements and belong to one of the four countries that have been chosen by Joe Biden so that their residents have this option. Below, we tell you how to apply and which countries are eligible.
