Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine is a designation that allows Ukrainian nationals and those of no nationality who last resided in Ukraine to remain in the United States and work for a specified period of time. TPS for Ukraine was first designated in March 2022 in response to the ongoing armed conflict in the country. The designation has been extended several times, most recently in November 2022, and is currently set to expire in July 2024.
The extension of TPS for Ukraine in 2025 is a critical issue for many Ukrainian nationals living in the United States. An extension would allow them to continue living and working in the US without fear of deportation, and would provide them with access to important services such as healthcare and education. It would also allow them to continue to contribute to the US economy and society.
