Asylum for Ukrainians & Russians in the United States

Are you a citizen of Ukraine or Russia who has entered the United States legally? If so, you may be eligible to seek asylum under U.S. law through USCIS. Being granted asylum can provide you with safety, legal status, and a path to permanent residency for individuals and families who have been displaced by war. Rama Law EU can guide you through the process – from preparing your application to representing you in interviews with immigration authorities.

Who Qualifies for Asylum in the United States?

The United States offers asylum to those who show that they cannot safely return to their country of origin because of any of the following reasons:

• War and armed conflict
• Political opinion or persecution
• Religion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group

For Ukrainians and Russians who have been displaced by war, many qualify because of ongoing violence, political instability, and risk of persecution.

Why File with USCIS After Entering Legally?

If you came to the United States with a visa, ESTA, or other legal status, you can apply for asylum directly with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is known as affirmative asylum. Here's what you need to know:

• You must apply within one year of arrival in the U.S.
• Filing with USCIS is a confidential process and is not removal (deportation) court.
• If approved, asylum status allows you to live and work legally in the United States.
• After one year in asylum status, you may apply for a green card (permanent residence).
