Protect Patriot Parents Act
This bill helps parents of U.S. military members obtain immigration status by removing common barriers. It exempts qualifying parents from certain inadmissibility rules, such as criminal history checks (unless related to their immigration status), and allows waivers for other issues. Parents who were previously removed from the U.S. can now apply for visas from abroad, and may temporarily enter the U.S. to reunite with their citizen child while their application is processed. To qualify, a parent must be the immediate relative of a U.S. citizen child who served in the military (active duty or honorably discharged).
