As of 25 April 2022, the United States (US) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is implementing “Uniting for Ukraine,” an accelerated sponsorship-based humanitarian parole program that will allow participating Ukrainians to travel to and temporarily remain in the US for up to two years. US-based sponsors who agree to provide financial support for Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members will be able to initiate a process that will ultimately allow these sponsored beneficiaries to seek advance authorization to travel to the US and request parole at a US port-of-entry.
