US Immigration from Ukraine

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone applied to expedite I-130. I applied for my brother back in 2018 and was wondering if it could get expedited due to the war.

Thanks for any help

I just went in to update the NoA2 and NVC receipt date and the form is throwing errors. I used the calendar to select the dates so the format is correct but the form doesn't like the length of time between these dates. I cant help that, and I'm not going to fudge the dates just to stay current.

Time between when a petition (ex: I-129F) was mailed to the USCIS and the NOA1 (Notice of Receipt) may be too long. NOA1s (the date on the form itself) should be within 12 weeks (max) of the date you originally sent the form to the USCIS.

I want to sponsor a friend who is not vaccinated under Uniting for Ukraine.

The UA vaccination Website has not been updated during the war.

The list of vaccination points is timing out on me.

If true, I think this exception applies. What does this group think?

I am older than 5 years of age, but I am not vaccinated against COVID-19 because the vaccine is not approved or licensed for use in my age group. I will get vaccinated within 14 days of arrival in the US.

Hi All,

Has anyone heard how they are counting the100,000 persons under Uniting for Ukraine? Number of approved cases? Number of persons accepted at port of entry?

Kind of curious, one of my beneficiaries wants to wait a little while because things aren't real bad where she is staying right now and doesn't want to leave her family.

Thanx - Kineo

I just consulted with a lawyer via justanswer.com on this question and he said the United for Ukraine entry would not have any effect on the I-130 CR-1 and CR-2 that are due to be evaluated by the NVC on June 15th. I did not expect it to cause a problem but I am nearing the end of the I-130 and I'd prefer to be certain.

The lawyer did wonder about the effect the I-130 might have on the approval under the United for Ukraine (UFU) program.

My goal is to bring my wife and daughter to the USA and to flu them to Frankfurt for the medical and the interview once they are scheduled. We have medicals scheduled for July 5 but I would probably delay both the medical and interview so the entry (on the I-130s) will occur after Nov 20 2022 so they will be IR-1 & IR-2 rather than CR-1 & CR-2.

Does anyone here have any thoughts about this plan?

1. Will an application under United for Ukraine have an impact on the I-130?

2. Will a pending I-130 have any impact on the CBP entry with the UFU travel authorization? I don't think there would be a presumption of remaining in the USA since this is a two year stay entry.

3. Will a pending I-130 prevent me from getting the UFU approved? This is the one I worry least about since there is no cost in applying for it.

Thanks in advance.
