On August 26, 2024, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in Texas v. Department of Homeland Security, Case Number 24-cv-306 administratively stayed DHS from granting parole in place under Keeping Families Together for 14 days; the District Court might extend the period of this administrative stay.

While the administrative stay is in place:

USCIS cannot grant any pending parole in place requests under Keeping Families Together.

USCIS will continue to accept filings of Form I-131F, Application for Parole in Place for Certain Noncitizen Spouses and Stepchildren of U.S. Citizens, without adjudicating them.

NOTE: The District Court’s administrative stay order does not affect any applications that were approved before the administrative stay order was issued.
