<\/span><\/h2>\nThe process of obtaining and renewing Ukrainian humanitarian parole can be complex.

Careful attention to deadlines and requirements will significantly increase your chances of a positive outcome.<\/p>\n
Here’s an FAQ section regarding Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole, based on the provided information. Note that some questions and answers are inferred to provide a more comprehensive FAQ, and some points about employment authorization from your additional information are included where relevant. This FAQ focuses on the re-parole process and does not include information about initial parole applications.<\/p>\n
What is the Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole Re-parole Process?<\/h3>\n
This process allows eligible Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members who were paroled into the U.S. on or after February 11, 2022, to extend their temporary stay. It’s a way to continue their stay in the US if they meet specific requirements.<\/p>\n
Who is eligible for Ukrainian Humanitarian Parole Re-parole?<\/h3>\n
To be eligible, you must be a Ukrainian citizen or an immediate family member of a Ukrainian citizen; you must have been paroled into the U.S. on or after February 11, 2022; you must demonstrate continued urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit for remaining in the U.S.; you must have complied with all conditions of your initial parole; you must be currently physically present in the U.S.; and you must pass background checks.<\/p>\n
How do I apply for re-parole?<\/h3>\n
You apply using Form I-131, Application for Travel Document. You’ll need to submit supporting documentation demonstrating continued urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, and pay the required fee (or submit a fee waiver request). Applications can be submitted online or by mail.<\/p>\n
When should I apply for re-parole?<\/h3>\n
You are strongly encouraged to apply no earlier than 180 days (6 months) before your current parole expires, as shown on your Form I-94. Applying within this timeframe minimizes the risk of your parole and employment authorization expiring before a decision is made. Applying earlier will not expedite the process, and applications submitted more than 180 days in advance may be rejected.<\/p>\n
What about medical attestations?<\/h3>\n
A crucial requirement, especially if you were paroled under the Uniting for Ukraine program, is completing all medical attestations. This includes attesting to completion of vaccine requirements (measles, polio, and a COVID-19 vaccine) or eligibility for an exception, and attesting to having received a tuberculosis medical screening (including an IGRA test) within 90 days. This must be completed in your USCIS online account.<\/p>\n
What is the USCIS Online Account, and why should I use it?<\/h3>\n
A USCIS online account is highly recommended to track your application status and receive notifications. You can create an account online (instructions are available in English, Ukrainian, and Russian). Even if you submit your application by mail, you can add it to your online account using the receipt number.<\/p>\n
What happens after I apply?<\/h3>\n
USCIS will review your application on a case-by-case basis. A thorough application with strong supporting documentation is essential. Approval will result in an extension of your parole. Employment authorization is generally incident to parole status (indicated by a “UHP” designation on your I-94). However, consult the most current USCIS guidance regarding employment authorization.<\/p>\n
What if my employment authorization expires?<\/h3>\n
If your employment authorization expires, you will need to follow USCIS guidance and potentially apply for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD) if required. The I-94 with a “UHP” designation might serve as temporary employment authorization for a limited period, but you should consult the latest USCIS guidelines for specific information and timelines.<\/p>\n
