The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has suspended the acceptance of applications for Ukrainian refugees’ admission to the US under the United for Ukraine (U4U) program. The respective notification was posted on the official website of the USCIS.

“Due to the Jan. 20, 2025 Executive Order, Securing Our Borders, USCIS is pausing acceptance of Form I-134A, Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support, until we review all categorical parole processes as required by that order,” the USCIS noted in a statement.

The Uniting for Ukraine program allowed Ukrainian refugees to stay in the US for up to two years, work, and receive health insurance.
