Exceptions to Being Admitted or Parole
VAWA & INA 245i
SIJS See INA 245(h)(1), which states that SIJ-based applicants are considered paroled into the United States for purposes of INA 245(a).
Special immigrant juveniles (SIJ) and other special immigrants are not exempt from this requirement. However, statutory provisions expressly state that these special immigrants are considered paroled for adjustment eligibility purposes. Accordingly, the beneficiaries of approved SIJ petitions meet the inspected and admitted or inspected and paroled requirement, regardless of their manner of arrival in the United States.
See INA 245(g), which holds that certain special immigrants, as defined under INA 101(a)(27)(k), are considered paroled into the United States for purposes of INA 245(a).
