Military parole in Place your service to our country may also protect your family I love the Fourth of July and all it symbolizes for our great country. Anyone who loves America and its history of honoring those who fought for our freedom deserves to take part in those freedoms. That’s not always an easily achievable prospect for some, but if you or a loved one have fought for our country before, then something called parole in place may make it much easier for your family to achieve the immigration status they need. WHAT IT IS If you or someone in your family is serving in the U.S. military and wants to help a family member fix their immigration status, it’s possible to use your military status to help someone who may be in the U.S. without proper documentation. If you’re an active duty member, a current member of the Selected Reserve or the Ready Reserve, or if you’ve previously served in the U.S. Armed Forces or the aforementioned Reserves and were honorably discharged, then you may meet qualifications to help your loved one obtain their I-94 and green card. A TRUE STORY Michael served four years in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged after his commitment was up. That’s when he met and married his wife, Sara, who had been brought to the U.S. from Mexico 25 years previously when she was just a little girl. She had lived in the U.S. for most of her life but never secured proper documentation. With concerns over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids mounting, Michael and Sara came to New Frontier for help with Sara’s immigration status, and we were able to navigate them through the parole in place process. Sara was ultimately able to receive her green card without ever having to leave the country. Parole in place can extend to spouses, parents, and children, so if you or a loved one has concerns about separation and deportation, then you may have options. We know you love our country just as much as we do and want to be here to help us celebrate many Independence Days to come. If you think parole in place could be a viable option for your family, then contact New Frontier so we can help.
There are many different opinions on the healthiness of snacking. Some people think of snacks as processed foods with high calories, but snacks don’t have to be junk food. Depending on what snacks you’re eating, and how often, these little in- between-meal bites can be highly beneficial or detrimental to your overall health. HEALTHY VS. UNHEALTHY SNACKS People snack when they’re hungry, but they also do it when they’re stressed, bored, or have a habit. When people snack on unhealthy junk food when they’re bored, the result is weight gain. An excellent way to avoid unhealthy snacks is to surround yourself with healthy alternatives. Fill your fridge and pantry with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and legumes. With those in your kitchen, you’ll have plenty of healthy options to choose from when you’re hungry. WHO BENEFITS FROM SNACKING? Depending on your weight, fitness level, and medical conditions, snacking throughout the day can be more effective than eating three large meals a day. Individuals who are crunched for time, have particular health conditions, are athletic, or are trying to lose or maintain weight all benefit from healthy snacking throughout the day. People who have high cholesterol or diabetes can better maintain their cholesterol and blood glucose levels if they eat frequently during the day. For athletes, snacking helps distribute the consumption of nutrients their body needs throughout the day instead of all at once. This way, their energy levels stay the same instead of fluctuating with their meal times. If you find yourself in need of a quick bite, think clementines and almonds instead of chips and Pop-Tarts. You’ll still satisfy your hunger without jeopardizing your health or increasing your waistline.
