I'm also interested in this information. MIL is interested in visiting her Daughter's family before submitting the Adjustment of Status, and Ukrainian nationals only have a 90 stay in Turkey, so we need to determine her odds of approval before the 90 days are up.

I'll admit my search-fu is weak, but is anyone tracking times for U4U processing (from start to travel authorization)

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.

Currently, she has not accrued any Unlawful presence as we have the NOA from when we first submitted the paperwork in June. 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.

Actually, the stipulation for the TPS is not "Residing" but have a "Residence" on April 11.

I am sure that is what they are doing, but the eligibility dates are the confusing parts. Residency prior to April 12, but continued presence after April 19th? Arrival April 16th. With her forced to leave in March, that is why we are using that as her residency as there is a history of her coming to us.

Boiler, I understand what you are saying but the requirements for TPS for Ukrainian citizens are confusing in their wording. USCIS requires them to have a residence as of April 12, and a continual presence in the US from April 19th. And yes she has an I-94 dated April 16th. Per the USCIS definitions, a residence is a principal domicile, and after her escape from Ukraine in Mid-march, we became her principal domicile. But that is neither here nor there. The question is if the Affidavit of Residency is required to be notarized if it will be uploaded and not mailed.

Not quite sure where to place this, so I'm hoping a Mod can route it to the correct forum. My Ukrainian Mother-in-law arrived in the US (after escaping occupied Ukraine thru Turkey) in April '22 on her B2 visa. We filed for a TPS because she arrived during that week between Apr 12, and April 19th. We received an RFE for proof of residency, which is not a problem as she has always had a home with us for the years she has held her B2 visa, but she doesn't have her name on any mortgage, or utilities since we own the home. Part of the information for RFE is an Affidavit of Residency, and the question for this is, does it need to be notarized as it will be scanned into a PDF and uploaded to her case?
