Good News - DHS is planning another way for some people to legally enter the US;Bad News - The program isn't quite ready yet but keep an eye out for updates; and
The Cautionary Tale - watch out for scam artist trying to take advantage of the situation and promising entry into a program not yet launched.
Direct from USCIS:
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is creating a parole
program to allow certain family members of Filipino and Filipino-American
World War II veterans to receive parole to come to the United States. This parole program was announced in November 2014 by
President Obama and Secretary Johnson as part of the executive actions on
immigration and is detailed in the White House report, Modernizing and Streamlining Our
Legal Immigration System for the 21st century, issued in July
2015. The program may enable these eligible
family members to provide support and care to their aging veteran family
members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
Parole, as provided for under the Immigration and Nationality
Act, gives DHS discretion, on a case-by-case basis, to permit individuals to
come to the United States for a temporary period of time based upon urgent
humanitarian reasons or for significant public benefit. Parole does not give
the individual any permanent right to remain in the United States.
USCIS reminds customers that they cannot apply at
this time. Any applications received before the program is implemented may be
denied. We will inform the public when the application process is in place. Register to receive email updates.

licensed attorney or an accredited representative."
