The United States granted the status of “temporarily protected persons” (TPS) to Ukrainians in the country for 18 months, reported Department of Homeland Security. According to him, due to the Russian military operation in Ukraine, its citizens cannot return to their homeland.
Individuals who lived in the United States as of March 1, 2022 are eligible to apply for TPS. The status of “temporarily protected” gives the right to obtain a work permit in the United States and a temporary residence permit.
“Russia’s deliberate and unprovoked attack on Ukraine has led to ongoing war, senseless violence and forced Ukrainians to seek refuge in other countries,” said US Secretary of State Alejandro Majorcas.
