Humanitarian parole at the Mexican boarder

[Makeitwork7786 0]

So, I'm pretty sure this isn't the best place for this thread so feel free to direct me (or if an admin can move it, not sure if y'all do that here;)   anyway,  my wife's brother in law is in Mexico, no visa or anything. His sister Lives in the US and The doctors say she's terminal. Anyway, a lawyer (not sure if US or Mexican) told him to go to the boarder and ask to cross with. He hasn't told me how bad his sister is. So maybe she the lawyer said what he did bc the application would never go through in time from what the doctor are saying. I'm not sure. But I've been searching and haven't found anyway that says you can ask for humanitarian parole at the boarder and apply there all the same day or same week etc... The only thing I've found is to submit an application\make an appointment or interview and it will take a while (used to be 3 months but since COVID i read it's a lot longer now) to be approved.

 

Ps. He went to the boarder but was turned around and said to come back one funeral arrangement were made and maybe he could cross. My wife told me that part so I'm not sure if it was serious or the officer was being a jerk. 

Anyway, any information would be helpful. 

Thanks

What is his nationality

 

Has he applied for a Tourist Visa

 

Does he have any US Immigration history

 

What is his Sisters status in the US?

 

Did he take evidence of his Sisters medical situation

Him and his sister are Mexican citizens

 

His sister has been here 20 years or so but shes illegal 

 

When he was around 18 he came to visit her but said he told CBP he was going to a concert because he didn't want to get her in trouble. They knew he was lying and took his visa. He's 37 and has re applied several times over the past 6 years but was denied each time due to the first incident (his wife and son were given visas in the same interview he was denied and they have the same "pre-requesits" for approval.)

 

 

I'm not sure what if any evidence he took with him.

I don’t know about same day humanitarian parole (other than maybe the current Ukrainian program?) but, I do know from before that a funeral is one of the reasons you can get an emergency visa so maybe the officer’s comment is linked to that. Emergency visit for a terminal relative usually requires some documentation to show it is serious and near term. The extract below is from another country embassy but they will have pretty standard requirements: 

 

• Illness/Injury of Family Member

  Purpose of travel is to attend to an immediate family member (mother, father, brother, sister, child, grandparent or grandchild) who has suddenly fallen seriously ill or had an accident in the United States.

  Essential documentation: 

  1. A letter from the physician or hospital confirming and describing the illness or injury.
  2. Evidence that the sick or injured person is an immediate relative.

   

  Funeral/Death

  Purpose of travel is to attend the funeral of or make arrangements for repatriating the body of an immediate family member (mother, father, brother, sister, child, grandparent, or grandchild) in the United States.

  Essential documentation: 

  1. A letter from the funeral director stating the contact information, the details of the deceased and the date of the funeral.
  2. You must also present evidence that the deceased is an immediate relative.

 

I am not sure any of these reasons would be enough unfortunately  to allow in, without a visa, someone who has been repeatedly denied a visa.  He may also try get an actual emergency visa, which if successful would likely be a single entry visa given his history.
