Uniting for Ukraine - parole at border?

[Concernedfamily 0]

Does anyone have any information on how rigorous the parole process is at the border once arriving in the country with the travel authorization? Do they do an in depth check? Is there any interview? Have there been situations where someone is denied? Would a ukrainian interpreter be provided? I have a family member traveling soon who does not know English and she is very worried about being able to answer questions and whether she might be detained for a while or denied at the border upon arrival.

Have the same questions as my fiancé is traveling soon and would appreciate some feedback from people that already welcomed their beneficiaries.

I have not seen any issues, just a quick trip to Secondary.

I have posted my experience in another thread, here it is again!

 

I have just arrived with 3 Ukrainians to Newark airport. The process was pretty painless thankfully. We came up to border control and were asked about who the Ukrainians are, how where they came from. We kept it simple, no need to tell them more than what they ask for. They did not seem to have any Ukrainian or polish speakers on hand, they asked other arriving passengers for help translating.  Thankfully i spoke English and Ukrainian and we were able to answer any questions. They took photos and fingerprints of the Ukrainian arrivals and we were led to a secondary border patrol office. They took their passports and travel authorization and we waited a bit. After 10 minutes they the border patrol agent came back with the passports stamped with authorization to stay in the US until 2024. We did not need to answer any questions at this phase. And that was it, we left to pick up our baggage and entered the US. Hope this gives a little info to others going through this process!!
