The Biden administration will allow certain undocumented immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens to stay in the country and work legally, expanding a program that’s currently used for immediate family of military service members. The Hill reports that the new effort, announced Tuesday, expands the “parole in place” program to new individuals and pairs it with measures designed to make the work visa application easier for those — particularly DACA beneficiaries — who have graduated from U.S. colleges and have been in the United States for 10 years. Approved applicants will receive a three-year work permit, deferral from deportation and three years to apply for permanent residency.
