ILCM Fact Sheet on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine. Updated and current as of January 21, 2025.

UPDATE March 5, 2025:

On January 28, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security paused the Uniting for Ukraine program. No new applications are being accepted. It is not clear whether pending applications will be processed.

According to media reports, an internal DHS memo halted processing of all applications for asylum, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), advance parole travel, adjustment of status to permanent residence, naturalization, and all other applications filed to USCIS by persons admitted under the Uniting for Ukraine program. It is not clear whether this freeze also applies to applications by persons who currently have TPS.

On January 20, 2025 President Trump suspended refugee admissions from all countries.

On Friday, January 17, 2025 Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, announced the extension of designation of Ukraine for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months beginning on April 20, 2025, and ending on October 19, 2026.

The 18-month extension of Ukraine’s TPS designation begins on April 20, 2025, and will remain in effect for 18 months, ending on October 19, 2026. The extension allows existing TPS beneficiaries to retain TPS through October 19, 2026, if they otherwise continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS.

Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status through October 19, 2026, must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period described in this notice. The re-registration period for existing beneficiaries runs from January 17, 2025, through March 18, 2025.

Temporary Protected Status was originally designated on April 22, 2022 and was extended and redesignated on October 20, 2023 for Ukrainian nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Ukraine) who have been continuously residing in the United States since August 16, 2023.

March 3, 2022: The Biden administration has now granted Temporary Protected Status to Ukrainians who were in the United States as of March 1. This is critical to protect Ukrainians here in the U.S. until it is safe for them to return. More information will be available after the Federal Register Notice is published.
