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!! 

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.

Beneficiary was notified via e-mail. The e-mail that was on the form as beneficiary e-mail.  And they should get this notice by mail as well. The  copy of the notice has their address in Ukraine. We have access to their e-mail (seniors with no computer or English knowledge. )

This is how it looks like.  Wishing everyone the best.

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.

We ended up spending a lot for quick airfare. Warsaw > Amsterdam > Boston. They made the connecting flight without trouble.

The misinformation line?

That is great information. In this thread several posters have experienced the one ring when expecting the Tier 2 call.
My Ukrainian family members boarded their flight today with just the "Travel Authorization" which had the birth year wrong. So at least they will get to explain to CBP what happened.

Good tip for you all who are waiting on a callback from USCIS. 
 
Cell phone providers will sometimes flag the USCIS phone number as spam, which results in the phone ringing one time and the call dropping
 
YOU NEED TO ADD THE USCIS PHONE NUMBER AS A CONTACT IN YOUR PHONE TO PREVENT THIS. Their callback number is 202-838-2104

The forms are very easy to fill up. The biographic info is already prefilled you just need to confirm. You can add other family members, so you don't need to be doing an USCIS acct for each of them if they are traveling together!

I have seen many people post about their I-134 being filed and getting it approved in a few days. I have not seen any time estimates for what happens after. Please post your experiences here so others will get an idea how long this takes.
