Ukraine Granted TPS for 18 Months
Secretary Mayorkas announced the designation of Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months
This means that if you are currently in the US and are a Ukrainian national (or do not have a nationality but last resided in Ukraine) you may be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
During the designated period (in this case, 18 months,) people with TPS:
Are not removable from the United States
Can receive employment authorization
May be granted travel authorization
To be eligible, individuals must have continuously resided in the US since March 1, 2022. People that attempt to travel to the US after March 1, 2022, will not be eligible.
An upcoming Federal Register notice will provide instructions for applying to TPS and Employment Authorization.
