Some Ukrainians Can Now Apply for Re-Parole

There’s good news for Ukrainians who were paroled into the US after February 11th, 2022. With Russia’s continuing war on Ukraine, the United States is considering measures to protect Ukrainian immigrants already in the U.S. from removal/deportation. As of February 27th, 2024, eligible Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members who are physically present in the United States can apply to stay longer through a process called re-parole. This allows them to be considered for an additional temporary stay of up to 2 years.

Eligible Ukrainians Can Now Apply for Re-Parole

To be eligible, Ukrainians must be physically present in the United States, have complied with the conditions of the initial parole and provide clear biographic and biometric background checks.

Here is an overview of the Ukrainian re-parole program:

Who can apply: Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members who were initially paroled into the US.
When to apply: Applications are open now, but it’s important to apply before your initial parole period ends. USCIS recommends applying at least 60 days beforehand.
How to apply: You can submit Form I-131 online or by mail, along with supporting documents and the filing fee (or a fee waiver request if applicable).
USCIS decides each case individually: They consider urgent humanitarian reasons, significant public benefit, and other factors when making a decision.
