Senators seek visa protections for Ukrainians in America
March 4, 2022
On Monday for about 29,5000 Ukrainians who are currently in the U.S. on visas, a group of senators sent a letter to President Biden requesting temporary protected status (TPS). TPS offers eligible immigrants to remain in the U.S. legally until the expiration of their TPS. The letter explains that granting TPS to Ukrainians in the U.S. would create minimal disruption for our country. The senators further addressed that forcing these individuals to return to Ukraine would be unacceptable due to Russia’s war on the country. The senators address in their letter that Ukrainians in the U.S. eligible for TPS would include students, business travelers, and tourists.
