United for Ukraine (U4U) 2024 Program for Ukrainians: How to Get to the United States Quickly and Easily?
Many Ukrainians face difficulties when applying for the U4U program and obtaining a U.S. visa, in particular because of the multi-step process and the need to meet strict deadlines. Here's how to get the right to live, work, and receive financial support in the United States in a short time
The launch of the Unite for Ukraine (U4U) programme was announced in 2022. This programme allows Ukrainian citizens and their close relatives living outside the United States to come to this country for a specified period of time with the right to work.
However, participation in this programme is subject to the correct fulfilment of strict conditions.
Moreover, any inaccuracies in the application form, lack of the required certificate, or uncertain answers during the interview with a consular representative may result in a visa or programme denial.
Everything Ukrainians need to know about the rules for entering and living in the United States, as well as useful tips to help them apply for the U4U programme, can be found here.
The conditions for participation in the United for Ukraine (U4U) programme in 2024 and how a Ukrainian can get to the United States by fulfilling all the requirements correctly are described in the article below.
U4U programme for Ukrainians: emigration to the USA
United for Ukraine is a programme introduced by the US government to support Ukrainians who have suffered from military operations in their homeland.
This initiative allows them to legally reside, receive medical care and study, work and even open bank accounts in the United States for 2 years.
In addition, a person who has been granted permission to move to the United States under the U4U programme is allowed to bring his or her immediate family (spouse or children under the age of 21) to the country.
To become a participant in the programme, you need to have a sponsor in the United States - a person who is willing to provide financial support for the duration of the Ukrainian's stay in the United States.
At present, finding a sponsor and obtaining a permit is a rather complicated process, in particular due to the high demand among Ukrainian citizens. And often, the first stage alone, namely finding a sponsor, can take several months.
U4U programme: conditions in 2024
Ukrainians who meet the following requirements are eligible to move to the United States of America:
● stay in Ukraine on 11 February 2022 and later;
● residing outside the United States of America at the time of application;
● have a valid passport.
How to become a U4U sponsor?
A person who legally resides in the United States and is willing to assume financial responsibility and provide housing for a Ukrainian who wishes to move to the United States can become a sponsor under the U4U programme.
We described in more detail who can be a sponsor, under what conditions, and what responsibilities such a person has in our previous article.
