The U.S. State Department shared additional information to further clarify visa options and outline alternatives to visas for Ukrainians affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Additional Information: NIV applications can be processed wherever Ukrainian nationals are physically present and can schedule an appointment. The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed processing times at a number of embassies and consulates. Information about wait times is available here. The State Department has designated the U.S. Consulate General in Frankfurt, Germany, as the processing post for all Ukrainian immigrant visa applications other than adoption cases. Adoption cases are being handled by the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw, Poland.
The full State Department guidance, including information on adoption cases, humanitarian parole, refugee status and local resources for displaced Ukrainians, is available here. The effect of the war in Ukraine on immigration and mobility continues to change. BAL will provide updated information as it becomes available.
