Hello all,
Thank you for these forums as they were of great help for me and my wife when she applied for her adjustment of status seven years ago. Since then she has become a US citizen, started her own business and employs about a dozen people.
Also in that time, her brother and wife were able to come her via the humanitarian parole offered to Venezuelans in early 2023. Her brother is Colombian and our sister-in-law is Venezuelan. Now that the parole program is not going to be renewed we want make sure we understand all of our options.
With TPS, from what I can understand, only my sister-in-law can apply as a Venezuelan but her husband does not qualify as a Colombian since TPS is based solely on nationality. However, I just now saw that there is a family reunification parole process available for Colombians. I don't know much about it but I was wondering if anyone has done that process.
Also, my current understanding for siblings is a lottery process which is certainly backed up years if not decades, but Im wondering if in their case they could apply for the reunification while they wait for that lottery. I understand if that is not the case, but I want to make sure to exhaust every possible option.
Thank you!
