Overseas Parole Case

We will be onboarding for our next Overseas Parole now through Monday, November 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern. We will file the case the following week.

IMPORTANT: If you are from any of the following countries and you have filed for a U visa, USCIS is refusing to decide your cases based on two Trump Executive Orders: Afghanistan, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burma (Myanmar), Burundi, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gabon, The Gambia, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia, and Palestine. If you want to do a case and you are from one of these countries please email us at uvisa@baniaslaw.com.

This case is for two scenarios:

First Scenario: Your family is separated between the United States and another country. The principal and/or a derivative is in the United States, but other derivatives (spouse, children, parents, siblings) are outside the US. This case allows the family members who are outside the US to travel to the US, apply for work authorization when they get here, and be awarded deferred action when they get here. Petition Attorneys do not believe this is possible, but we have reunited dozens of families.

Second Scenario: The principal victim and derivatives are all outside the United States. In other words, after filing for the U visa, the whole family departed the United States and you are now waiting for any action. This case allows us to force USCIS to make a waiting list decision and, if approved, the principal and all derivatives will receive parole to enter the United States. Once you travel to the US, you and your family can apply for work authorization and get deferred action.

PLEASE NOTE: The goal of this case is to get overseas U visa applicants waiting list decisions that give them “conditional parole.” These decisions are issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. However, after receiving a waiting list decision with conditional parole, all recipients who are outside the United States will have to complete a DS160 with the Department of State, provide them biometrics, and attend an interview at the consulate. Banias Law will take all steps necessary to force USCIS to give you a waiting list decision with conditional parole, but Banias Law cannot help with the DS-160 or communications with the consulate.

  • Group 1

    • Principal is in the United States and has no action, a BFD, or a waiting list decision; and

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • No. But if you have not done your fingerprints, the government will require you to give them before it issues you a BFD or EAD.

  • No. But we would encourage you to tell your petition attorney. Depending on what address receives your BFD and EAD, you will want to put them on notice that those documents should be arriving soon. Also, if you get a request for evidence, your petition attorney NOT Banias Law, will be responsible for responding to USCIS timely.

  • No. I have never seen USCIS retaliate against a U visa applicant for filing a delay suit or being part of a group delay suit. First, it is illegal for them to retaliate against someone for suing them; the U.S. Constitution protects your right to sue the government.

  • If you have a BFD, you can join now. If you have received a WLD and you are outside the US or your derivatives are outside the US and they did not receive parole when they got their WLDs, you can join now. If you are all outside the US and you’ve received NO action, you need to have filed before September 1, 2024.

  • For 1 person, the cost will be $1854; for 2 or more people, the cost will be $3296. We offer payment plans for both types of cases. We do not charge for minor children (under 16 years old). So, if you are a parent with two young children, your cost will be the same as for 1 person.

  • Follow the instructions on the next page.

  • No. These cases are typically decided on the merits. And even if the court has a hearing, it will be for the attorneys to attend.

  • You can still join the law suit.
