Individuals eligible for TPS under this designation must have continuously resided in the United States since April 11, 2022. Initial applicants for TPS under this designation must demonstrate that they have been continuously physically present in the United States since April 19, 2022, the effective date of this designation of Ukraine, before USCIS may grant them TPS. Ukraine’s 18-month designation will go into effect on the publication date of the forthcoming Federal Register notice. The Federal Register notice will provide instructions for applying for TPS and an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). TPS applicants must meet all eligibility requirements and undergo security and background checks.

 

It seems to say what it says but I have never seen this discussed.

 

Applying to adjust would seem the logical route, most wars are going to be over by Christmas, which Christmas?

My wife is a US citizen, so that is also a path if this one closes.  The reason we didn't go this route was that my MIL hoped that the war would be over before New Years.

 

I vote for option 4:  AOS

I want to thank everyone for their input on this.  The comments have given me food for thought and what I thought would the best way to protect my MIL may not have been.  I'm going to consult with an attorney to see what our best options are.
