A: Ukrainian nationals or stateless individuals who last lived in Ukraine can qualify for Temporary Protected Status if they were in the United States on or before August 16, 2023. This means that recent arrivals as of this date may apply for TPS. TPS grants them temporary legal status, the ability to work, and protection from deportation while the humanitarian crisis continues. Applicants may need to provide documents such as tax returns, credit reports, and banking records. The Biden Administration withdrew the rule to align with its mission of removing barriers to gaining citizenship.
