USCIS Engagement: Ukraine Temporary Protected Status Designation

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services invites you to participate in an engagement on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine on Thursday, July 14, from 2-3 p.m. Eastern.

On March 3, 2022, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas announced the designation of Ukraine for TPS for 18 months. This designation of Ukraine for TPS allows nationals of Ukraine, and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Ukraine, who have continuously resided in the United States since April 11, 2022, and who have been continuously physically present in the United States since April 19, 2022, to file initial applications for TPS.

During this engagement, USCIS will provide an overview of the designation of Ukraine for TPS. We will then hold a question-and-answer session. We will not address case-specific questions, questions outside the scope of the engagement, or issues under active litigation.
