    When eligible to apply for citizenship?

    The parole is granted when one enters the USA and gets his I-94 stamped. So the date of the arrival that your husband have on his I-94 is the date he was granted parole. My I-94 states the date I arrived to the USA and says: "paroled until <date>". About those dates, from August 15, 1988 to...

    When eligible to apply for citizenship?

    I have just received my green card. The basis for my immigration was public interest parole, which I have been granted as a former USSR national after having been denied a refugee status. I entered the USA in Sept. 2004 and have since been living here without interruptions. My question is...
