I have seen it done in the past, I have also seen recently that people have reported problems possibly due to the other HP programme having partly switched to a lottery system and banning multiple entries.

Thank you! I think next steps are to file again and see. 

Long story short. We sponsored successfully last year under the U4U program. They left USA after 2 months and went back to Ukraine. No advance parole was issued. Now they want to come back. Can we sponsor them again? Anyone has experience with this? Thanks!! 

Good luck everyone!

One other question. Could anyone here send me what they send the beneficiaries in the email (with personal info redacted, ofc)? I'm just wondering, if the instructions are generic enough, maybe my beneficiary can just start creating their USCIS account without having to wait for an email since the I-134 is confirmed.

They can create the USCIS account but to have their case attached they will need an Online Access Code that comes with the notice. They input their code on the created account and it pulls their case.

Here is what is written in the notices they can get to step 2 of this instructions without the code. Good luck!!

How frustrating! I was able to life chat with an agent and after verifying all the info, she told me to call the customer service and both petitioner and the beneficiary must be present and disconnected right away! WHAT?!?! I was waiting for an hour to get this answer and was disconnected! I don't get how we both should be present for the call, it's just unbelievable what is going on with this process. Today is 05/14/2022 and still no travel authorization anywhere to be found. The scariest thing is that our case is closed! So if it's closed, nothing needs to be done... I don't have any idea how and when this issue will be taken care of

Definitely! We have call almost every day. Still no documents. Some times they tell us to wait for a  tier 2 call. Others that the problem was resolved. Others that we just need to log in and out and the document its going to be there. To wait from 24 to 72 hrs and its going to be there.  Last news is that they are going to further work on our issue and to give them time.

Has anyone with this same problem resolve it? how? We are still without the document.

Today we get this message to the beneficiary account. The issue has not being resolved but seems they are just telling everyone that it has. We still waiting for the Travel Authorization Document since May 4.

Yes, to clarify all 4 got their travel authorization documents processed within hours of me posting them.  As with everything YMMV.  So sorry it's taking a long time for you; I might suggest inquiring by phone. 

 

If you feel like it's dead in the water, you could also possibly re-submit the request for travel authorization by creating a new myuscis.gov account with a new email address for the beneficiary(ies), then trying to re-import the receipt number.

 

I also created a Travel Group for the four of them and this helped me get the requests created a little quicker, FWIW.

Thank you! We have called every day since it got approved. They tell you issue was resolved and hang you right away. Hope to have it before the end of the week. The also attached a wrong notice yesterday, they attached the notice that go to the sponsor on the beneficiary account all of the sudden yesterday.

Both Ukranians traveling through the Tijuana connection and Uniting for Ukraine applicants are granted humanitarian parole.  I will contact Healthcare.gov Marketplace as recommended.

 

Great news:  I filed their applications post I-134 approval last night and I woke up to all 4 of them already being approved!  So now we've got to move on this.

Fastest government program ever. Filed on April 27 and yesterday picked them up at airport.

 

Travel Authorization was approved May 8th.

 Did the beneficiaries got their travel document? We were approved May 6 and still waiting for the document. We have called USCIS now they say issue resolved, but clearly is not. This is soul breaking.

Our travel authorization  was posted on 05/06/2022, but still, as of 05/10/2022 6:30pm EST no actual document was loaded in the "NOTICES" section. Will keep you updated

Talk to the today and they told issue was resolved but we don't have the document in the notices section yet. They did upload another notice today but not what we need!

I have actually called them today and the automatic system would not even connect me to the agent unless 30 days has passed since the moment of notice issue date

Natalia we were able to get to a representative this morning. The answer was that there is a technical problem and to wait up to 7 days for this to be resolved!

Hello,

 

I have a question, I have a Ukrainian friend for many years now, I want to support her and her children to come to the US.

Can I support her or only family members can support Ukrainians trying to come to the US by "Uniting for Ukraine"?  

 

Thanks in advance

Sure! You can. Just fill out form I-134 for her and her child. You don't need to be a family member.

We are having the same problem, we try yesterday and are trying again today. This is Very frustrating.

We also have the same issue, I was hoping for today 05/09/22 maybe we some news, but still no notice

We are trying to communicate with USCIS and no luck. The phone system keep telling that the offices are closed and they work until 8pm ET but it is not 8pm. Another visa journey user had the same issue and they told him is a glitch in the system .

Yes, I did. It is not there, are you supposed to have it in “Notices”? It says that the travel authorization was received on Thursday and it is still not in Notices.

Same here no document yet!

Received the email today. Attestation forms are super simple. 

 

Couldn't submit the form though,  getting an error.. I wonder if anybody else is having the same issue?..

Did you get to submit them? how it resolved? I am getting an error now on the beneficiary account.

Is it safe to get tickets yet or are you going to wait for them to attach the form?

We are waiting for them to attach the forms. But expecting the forms to be there next week. We had a terrible delay for work permit 11 years ago. Where the permit took 6 moths more than normal just because some one had not press Enter.... We had it approved. Visited the field office 3 times, on the 4th time the lady says ahh I see, I just click here,  you should receive the card in a week...

Unfortunately she said that the input field was greyed out and couldn't edit it 😞

Could you call USCIS ? Hope you can change it and everything goes smoothly. It is very stressful process.

I'm not sure if I screwed myself here, but I put the wrong passport number in the I-134. I wish there was a phone number I could call about this

Beneficiary passport number? They can change it when they get to the next step.

Did you check mark all 3 boxes in the Minors part even if it does not apply in your case?

Does anyone know what kind of information do they ask for in the biographic section?

If you are talking about form i-134. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134.pdf

Yes! the Bio section it is prefilled with the info the sponsor put on the i-134. The beneficiary just need to check that everything is right and change anything that is not correct. Name/ address/ passport number and so on. If all is fine you don't  need to input any info at all just click submit.

You are very welcome! Any news I let you all know ASAP. Hoping for all our love ones to be safe! If this info helps just a tiny bit I am happy.  Best wishes.
