Ukrainian Refugee Information Session on May 19

Posted on May 17 2022

May 17, 2022— More than six million Ukrainians have fled the Russian war in their country. What is the U.S. role in this refugee crisis?  

The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM) will host an online information session on options for Ukrainians seeking assistance in the United States. The May 19 event will be live-streamed on Facebook from 3-4 p.m., and will be available on Facebook after that time.  

Austen Soare from ILCM will speak on Ukraine Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Hanne Sandison from Advocates of Human Rights will talk about asylum. Christine Phillips from Arrive Ministries will discuss family-based petitions. The Ukrainian American Community Center (UACC) is co-hosting this event.  

The U.S. Department of Human Services has already received more than 19,000 online applications to sponsor Ukrainians fleeing the war, and has approved about 6,000 of these.
