  1. From my understanding there is an electronic database of "stamps" that many, but not all (Ukraine was one, don't so any longer) participate in. In light of this it is possible that there could be an issue. We have to remember that the program is to get people the people IN Ukraine out of harms way. Honestly, like what Boiler said, I highly doubt anyone is going to check this. Especially in light of many of these people now have no home to return to. -Eric
  2. Generally if they leave the US their humanitarian parole ends. They would need to start the process of U4U over again. There are some exceptions e.g. for school or if family member is terminally ill, etc. In these cases they can file for advanced parole. -Kineo
  3. For children, only unmarried children under 21 can adjust status. -Kineo
  4. 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. -Kineo
  5. I think I would be good to contact your Senator's offices. They should have resources to get answers from USCIS on the correct process for "re-parole" under U4U. -Kineo
  6. 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. -Kineo
  7. USCIS, yes. I don't see the process is in place yet. I still would not expect a fee for U4U. But this I don't think would apply to the TPS. TPS would be a different process from my understanding.
  8. What I found interesting was this is the first "official" that has made a statement that we should see a re-parole process at some point.
  9. You folks may find the section about re-parole in this letter interesting: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/foia/Temporary_Protected_Status_for_Ukraine-Senator_Van_Hollen.pdf -Kineo
  10. This will be an interesting situation. From my understanding your first paragraph is completely correct. As for U4U, technically it doesn't look like your MIL is technically eligible either. From USCIS: It sounds like your MIL would technically have to leave the country for the duration of the application process. Sounds really crazy to me. In my opinion there has been no consideration my USCIS for this situation at this time. -Kineo
  11. Here is the timeline for my 3 beneficiaries. #1 had some issues causing delays. Normally you should have seen a NOA1 in less than 2 weeks. 2022/07/25 - Mail I-765 & I-912 for beneficiaries #1,#3&#4 2022/07/27 - All 3 I-765's delivered to Chicago lockbox 2022/08/04 - NOA1 & Fee Waiver approval for beneficiaries #3&#4 2022/08/05 - Biometrics letter for beneficiaries #3&#4 2022/08/09 - Received rejected EAD package for beneficiary #1 2022/08/10 - Mailed updated EAD(I-765&I-912) package for beneficiary #1 2022/08/12 - I-765&I-912 delivered to Chicago lockbox 2022/08/19 - NOA1 & Fee Waiver approved for for beneficiary #1 2022/08/22 - Biometrics for beneficiaries #3&#4, EAD approved for beneficiaries #3&#4 2022/08/26 - Biometrics letter for beneficiary #1 2022/08/26 - USCIS sent EAD cards for beneficiaries #3&#4 2022/08/29 - EAD cards and SS cards arrived for beneficiaries #3&#4 2022/09/15 - Appointment for Biometrics for beneficiary #1 2022/10/ - Expedite request processed for beneficiary #1 2022/10/ - EAD approved for beneficiary #1 2022/11/01 - USCIS sent EAD card for beneficiary #1 2022/11/04 - EAD card and SS card arrived for beneficiary #1
  12. Great! I think that is the way it is supposed to work. Two of my beneficiaries had exactly the same experience. One did not, it went on for almost 2 months until I was able to speak to an agent that "reclassified" the case, And then it was approved the next day. -Kineo
  13. You start the process over again by filing an I-134 like this first time. -Kineo Correct
  14. The receipt notice is the first step for all applicants. Normally if sufficient you should see a Confirm Notice in a week or less. The beneficiary should also receive a Confirm Notice in their email. -Kineo
