TPS Ukraine
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary status provided to Ukrainians as a humanitarian remedy for migrants who are unable to travel home safely. It provides a work permit and stay of deportation to foreign nationals from those countries who are in the United States at the time the U.S. government makes the designation.
Are you a Ukrainian citizen who has come to the U.S. seeking protection?
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary status provided to Ukrainians as a humanitarian remedy for migrants who are unable to travel home safely. TPS holders are allowed for work and travel permits during that time, and they are shielded from deportation.
If you are applying for the first time you must meet the following requirements:
- Be a citizen or national of Ukraine,
- You have been living in the U.S. since at least April 11, 2022, and
- You have been continuously residing in the U.S. since April 11, 2022.
Individuals eligible for TPS are also allowed to apply for employment authorization.
If you are applying for TPS under Ukraine’s designation, effective April 19, 2022, you must register during the 18-month registration period that runs from April 19, 2022, through Oct. 19, 2023. We encourage you to register as soon as possible within the 18-month registration period.
Nationals of a designated country do not automatically receive TPS, but instead must register during a specific registration period and pay government fees. In addition, an individual’s immigration status at the time of application for TPS has no effect on one’s eligibility, nor does the previous issuance of an order of removal.

How It Works
- 1Create An Account
Create an account and either check your eligibility, or pick an application to start. We start by asking questions specific to the visa to ensure your eligibility. This can be quick and simple, such as for visitor visas, or may require entering multiple questionnaires. If you have any questions, there are no fees to contact our immigration experts by email, WeChat, WhatsApp or by booking a call.
- 2Confirmation Before Payment
Our immigration consultants will check your answers and double-check your profile to confirm you meet the minimum requirements of a program. Only if you are eligible will we move you to the payment stage. At this time you must pay the SuperVisas fee. We are transparent in our process and pricing, and clearly list all the fees and processing times for your visa. We use Stripe for credit or debit card payment processing, which is secure and encrypted. Government fees are paid later when the completed application is submitted and once we can correctly calculate the various government fees due. It can be complicated, but we guide you through the process.
- 3Complete Your Application Online
Now, you can finish your application. There will be some "tasks", or many, for you to complete depending on your visa, such as entering your education achievements, employment history and/or dependent information. This can take time and will require answering more questionnaires and uploading of documents. Our system ensures everything necessary is gathered depending on your specific situation - preventing errors and omissions - while at the same time saving you money. Our immigration experts prepare your application so that your case is best presented to the visa officers. After a final review by you, and by our experts, your application will be submitted! You will have peace of mind that only comes with a complete and accurate application.
- 4Approval and Renewals
We will notify you when your visa is approved! We securely store your immigration documents for 7 years and will provide you alerts well before any expiry dates. Renewing visas or taking the next step down the immigration pathway toward citizenship is easy when all your immigration history is in one place. We also understand that moving to a new country can be difficult and hard to navigate. If needed, we will provide guides and referrals to our affiliate partners to help.
