What is Uniting for Ukraine Program
Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) allows Ukrainian citizens who have been displaced by the Russian invasion to apply and stay temporarily in the United States. It is a streamlined process run by the U.S. government. U4U grants “humanitarian parole” — a temporary permission to stay in the U.S. for a period of 2 years.
How to find a U4U sponsor
In order to apply for the U4U program one must first find a sponsor.
Life in the US without a sponsor
If you’ve decided to come to America without asking for financial help from a sponsor, please, do your research! Prices in most American cities are very different from what you are used to in Ukraine. Be realistic about what you can and cannot afford.
