ukrainian parolees 1-94 expiring

[DD13 0]

Hey folks,

 

My Ukrainian family entered the U.S. last year as humanitarian parolees and were granted 1-94 cards. We are going through the I-485 process, however the I-94s will expire in April. I believe we need to file I-539s to extend their status but am not certain. The instructions list those who should file and I don't really see our category. 

 

Can anyone clarify this for me? 

 

Thanks!

You just need to file the I 130, I 485 etc

So, don't worry about the 1-94 expiring?

With U4U they will have to leave the US before their parole expires even if they file I-130 from what I understand. There is supposed to be a "re-parole" process coming but I haven't seen any specifics yet.

 

Also I-539 does apply to humanitarian parole from what I understand.

Lots of people have filed to adjust from HP.

Please name the members of your family preparing I-485. 
As a USC , you can only file I-130 for : spouse, parent and your child ( less 21).

Some I know, but I'm not sure "Lots". From what I understand only those that are spouses, parents or children under 21 of US citizens.

If they are your parents, spouse and children, you just need to file the I-130 along with I-485 package (I-485, I-131, I-765, I864, etc) for each.

 

If they are your uncles/aunts, nephews/nieces, cousins and siblings, they cannot adjust status.

For children, only unmarried children under 21 can adjust status.

Yes, they are spouse and children and we filed all of those forms four months ago. Their I-94s expire in April and I was contemplating I-539 but it seems that would be a waste of time and money. I believe there is a new procedure forthcoming for Ukrainians in their situation to remain past their expiration date, but nothing as yet. Meanwhile, my wife wants to work but needs a driver's license which necessitates a SS#. Is there anyone else in this situation who has learned anything different?

I have seen nothing and am intrigued as to what the plan is so please you update when you hear something
