US Immigration from Ukraine

Good evening, folks!

I did a quick search but could not find any recent topics on the matter.

A relative from Ukraine arrived on U4U parole in January 2023 and applied for TPS in February 2024 (before U4U re-parole was announced as an option). Their U4U status is expiring in January 2025 but TPS has not moved yet. We submitted I-765 with TPS pending. There was initial movement on both cases but now they seem to have gotten stuck again.

We now submitted I-131 application for re-parole on U4U (some other Ukrainians we know obtained both).

A couple of questions:

- What are the I-131 for U4U processing times these days

- If neither application is approved by the time their status expires, is proof of pending application accepted by the employer to not disrupt employment?

- What can be done to inquire about the pending TPS case? It will not allow us to submit a form online as it is within normal processing times

Hi everyone,

I would appreciate your advice.

I am the US citizen filing I-130 for my mom who is currently in the US. My dad is also in the US but I am not filing for him right now.

I have a question about the I-864 form (Affidavit of support), part 5 sponsor s household size .

Here is the situation:

Me (U.S. citizen) the petitioner

My spouse - joint tax filer

My mother I-130 beneficiary

My father - not being sponsored at this time

My parents live in my house but have separate living quarters and buy food separately. I am not sure if it matters but they are divorced and retired.

My husband and I listed my parents as dependents on our last tax return, but we're unsure if this was correct. Apparently, they cannot be claimed as dependents as their information wasn t used for tax calculations. However, their names are stated on the tax returns we submitted.

The question is: In form i-864, part 5 sponsor s household size do I need to count them as part of my household? Do I need to include both my mom and dad if I file only for my mom?

thank you!

Hi folks, we've made it through all steps of the journey except citizenship. My wife and I have been married for 6 years but we'd like to wrap it up within six months if possible so there's less trouble traveling back to Europe next summer.

I filed the N-400 online today and it was relatively easy for USCIS. It's stating a projected processing time of 7 months. If it's a straightforward application, think it could be turned around and onto the next step (biometrics) quicker?

My Form N-400 was rejected due to missing page number 12. May I send the whole package back and include the missing page, or I have to fill out and mail a new application.

Hey all,

I've filed quite a few I-134As since 2022, probably in the 10-12 range. The last two I filed, on March 30th 2024, are still under review. The ones I filed before that, in late 2023, got approved within a couple of months.

I've had it happen in the past that a I-134 fell through the cracks and never got out of pending state (to this day), and it worked to just submit a new application. So I did that with these two apps as well on June 7th.

We haven't had a topic on U4U timelines in a while, so I just wanted to ask what kind of timelines people are experiencing with the I-134A applications these days.
