USCIS accepts case-by-case re-parole requests from certain Ukrainian citizens and qualifying immediate family members who were initially paroled into the United States after February 11, 2022. Re-parole is discretionary; filing a request does not guarantee approval.
Start with the I-94
Confirm the current parole expiration date on the beneficiary’s Form I-94. Do not rely only on an EAD expiration date, because parole and employment authorization are related but separate records.
Common preparation items
- Copy of the most recent Form I-94 and identity document.
- Evidence of the original parole and current physical presence.
- A clear explanation of the continuing urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit supporting re-parole.
- Current biographic and contact information.
- Copies of pending immigration applications and notices, if relevant.
- A review of the current Form I-131 edition, filing method, fee, and fee-waiver rules before submission.
Fees changed after the original U4U rollout
The USCIS fee schedule dated August 29, 2025 lists Form I-131 re-parole filing fees for certain Ukrainians as $580 online or $630 by paper. USCIS also states that, beginning October 16, 2025, a separate Immigration Parole Fee may be required before a grant of re-parole unless an exception applies. USCIS instructs the applicant if that additional payment is required.
