On March 3, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Ukraine will be designated for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. TPS is available for those Ukrainian nationals who are already in the U.S. and have been since March 1, 2022. TPS will be available for those eligible individuals as of the publication date in the Federal Register notice (forthcoming, date yet not determined). This protected status allows them to lawfully remain in the U.S. and to apply for work authorization.
