Temporary Protected Status for Ukrainian Nationals
The federal government recently announced that Ukrainian nationals may be able to seek Temporary Protected Status (TPS) within the United States. Four organizations, Safe Horizon’s Immigration Law Project, Brooklyn Law School’s Safe Harbor Clinic, Shorefront YM-YWHA and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office have partnered to provide information about whether Ukrainians nationals already present in the United States may be able to seek this immigration relief. This event will take place at the Shorefront Y located at 3300 Coney Island Ave in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn on Sunday March 27th from 12-4pm. Community members are encouraged to come to this event to learn more about TPS and to receive information about the application process. Applications for Ukrainian TPS are not yet accepted by the federal government. The date that applications will be accepted is soon to be announced. This is a free event.
