Can individuals seeking parole apply from within the U.S.?

Yes, they can seek re-parole.
No, they must apply from abroad.
Only if they have been denied previously.
Only military personnel can apply from within the U.S.

The correct answer is: Yes, they can seek re-parole.

The correct answer is that individuals seeking parole can indeed apply from within the U.S. depending on their specific circumstances. Parole allows certain individuals to enter or remain in the U.S. for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, even if they do not meet the usual immigration requirements. In certain situations, such as for those already present in the U.S. who have a compelling case—like ongoing safety concerns or family emergencies—they may seek re-parole or new parole requests while staying in the country. This process allows individuals who may have previously been granted parole to reapply without having to leave the U.S., thereby providing them with a more immediate way to address their unique circumstances. Understanding parole's flexibility under U.S. immigration law helps clarify that individuals do not always need to apply from abroad; rather, they have options available that reflect their specific situations and the potential for re-parole.
