United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continues to provide support to Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members through a specialized re-parole process that went into effect Feb. 27, 2024.
Eligibility Criteria: To qualify for re-parole, applicants must demonstrate:
Re-parole is not available to individuals currently outside the United States. Those outside the United States may consider applying for parole under the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) program, which has its own set of eligibility criteria.
Application Procedure: You may apply for re-parole via a USCIS online account or via paper filing.
Documentation and Fees: Applicants must submit:
Check the USCIS website for the latest fee information, and be prepared to pay the required fee unless you qualify for and request a fee waiver.
Employment Authorization: Applicants can request an EAD using Form I-765. Applicants must wait for re-parole approval before applying for EAD. In certain cases, an updated Form I-94 may serve as temporary proof of employment authorization.
Filing Timing: Apply for re-parole before your initial parole period expires to maintain your authorized stay and work eligibility. It is best to apply no later than 60 days before the last day of your initial parole period.
