The policy, which went into effect Nov. 15, allows the undocumented spouses, children and parents of military personnel to be "paroled" into the United States.
Once paroled, undocumented relatives then will be able to apply for green cards without first having to go back to their home countries, where those who entered illegally face bans from returning to the U.S. for up to 10 years.
Thousands of military families may benefit, experts say. Navytimes
One less thing for these volunteers to be worried about.
