Humanitarian Expedite

[JKassian 0]

In January the tensions of a possible invasion on Ukraine began to get a little more tense. I was in Kharkiv with my fiancee from December 29th 2021 through January 14th 2022. When I got back to the states I decided to contact my Senator on assistance expediting the NOA2 and entire visa process. As usual, they received the normal government response of "we will not expedite it, everything is normal in Ukraine". Well how about now?? My fiancee has been hiding in Kharkiv for 8 days with heavy air raids and attacks on residential areas. Finally she decided to try and get out and finally was able to get into Poland, from there I do not know where she will go. Now tell me that what is happening in Ukraine doesn't qualify for a Humanitarian Expedite!!!!? She has no home and no job anymore. I have contacted the Senators office again and they totally agree with me. Let's see if the government can pull their head out of the place where the sun don't shine. I am sure I am not the only one in this position that has a fiancee in Ukraine or displaced from Ukraine, and I feel your pain and concern because I am going through it myself. I asked about refugee asylum, but oh no the government will not lift the visa requirements and I was told that this process could take longer than the I129f K-1 visa process. I guess flying her into Mexico City and come up through the southern border would be another option because that is legal in the eyes of the current administration. I have done some other research that Canada is lifting visa requirements for IDPs, which would be totally fine for me. I only live an hour and a half from the Canadian border, so I can handle a little drive to see see my lady. I would like to hear any suggestions or insight of how I can fast trac her to the USA. Thank you Friends

To cope with the large and abrupt number of migrants, the 27 member states have dusted off a 2001 EU directive that had never been used before and is designed to provide immediate assistance and protection to war refugees.

The Temporary Protection Directive circumvents the traditionally overburdened asylum procedure and offers a quick and simplified path to access protection across the EU.

Ukrainian refugees will be given residence permits to stay inside the bloc for at least one year, a period that will be automatically extended for a further year. Member states can then decide to prolong the exceptional measure by one more year if the war continues to ravage the country.

It does now, people are getting expedites approved. Please check out the other threads in the RUB forum for more info. Best bet is to expedite your K-1, it will be faster than the other options.

Hi millefleur! I wonder if we can expedite for my dad... He is Russian, but does not support the war and with everything going on, we are afraid that he might be cut off from any travel. Do you know if we can expedite due to political reasons?

Unfortunately no, unless he can provide current proof of being persecuted/in danger from Russian authorities, or is living near active warzone areas. All expedites have to be based on "current" situations, having reasonable fear that something might happen is not enough for USCIS. 😕
