Legal immigration to the USA from Ukraine attracts many. America has long been the country where not only Ukrainians but also citizens from all over the world aspire to move. Therefore, the American government has introduced certain immigration rules and annual quotas that limit the arrival of foreigners. Each year, about 500,000 residents from around the world apply for permanent residence. With the advent of the Trump administration and its implementation of a kind of protectionist policy, immigration law has undergone significant changes aimed at reducing the influx of immigrants. Each year, it becomes more difficult to immigrate to the United States, as evidenced by reports from the State Department. However, there are still several legal ways to do this quickly and without problems.

Ways for Ukrainians to Immigrate to the USA

The immigration process has its nuances and features, depending on the chosen method.

Main legal ways to immigrate to the USA:

1. Business immigration. Relevant for those Ukrainian citizens who want and have the opportunity to open a business in the States, which will involve significant financial investments in the country’s economy. For this, you will need to obtain an E2 visa. It is important to note that to approve a visa of this category, certain requirements must be met. For example, you can only go to the country to develop and manage the enterprise in which money has been invested, and the amount of invested money often starts from $100,000. There is also the EB-5 investor immigration visa, but it requires more significant capital investments in the U.S. economy (from $500,000).
2. Immigration to America through family ties (family reunification visa). This type of immigration is most suitable for children, spouses, parents, as well as siblings. You need to apply for this visa in advance, as the processing can take quite a long time: in some cases up to 25 years, depending on the degree of kinship.
3. Immigration through marriage with a U.S. citizen (marriage immigration visa to America). This method of immigration is suitable for individuals who want to legalize their marriage with a foreign citizen in their country. For this, you need to obtain a K1 visa and get married before it expires.
4. Employment-based migration to the USA. If you have found a job in America and have a valid invitation from a foreign employer, then you can apply for an H1-B work visa for more than 3 months, as well as L-1 or O-1 category visas. The H1-B visa is both temporary and immigration-related, meaning it allows you to obtain a green card under certain conditions. For employment-based migration, you need to obtain a “labor certification” from the U.S. Department of Labor, confirming the absence of qualified American workers capable and willing to perform the job for which a foreign citizen is hired. The Department of Labor must also confirm that hiring a foreigner will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of American workers. Exceptions to this rule include individuals with extraordinary abilities in a specific field (O-1), individuals whose arrival is in the national interest of the USA, as well as investors, managers, and senior executives of international companies. You can learn more about this from the specialists at “VizaUS”.
5. Winners of the “Green Card” lottery. To participate in the Green Card lottery, you need to submit an application on the official website www.dvlottery.state.gov and wait for the results. It is noteworthy that the selection of candidates for the document is conducted randomly, using a computer program. Annually, 50,000 visas are drawn. Recently, there have been increasing rumors that due to Trump’s policies, the program may be closed at any moment.
6. Immigration through political asylum. This option is possible for those who have faced systematic persecution due to their race, nationality, religion, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group in their home country, and the government of that country cannot or will not protect them. The applicant must provide materials proving that they are being persecuted or have grounds to fear such persecution, as well as grounds for granting political asylum.

In almost every method described above, you will need to collect, prepare, and submit a multitude of documents, which, in most cases, differ from the standard list. Moreover, do not forget about the interview, for which you also need to be prepared. Therefore, if you are at the initial stage of preparation and need assistance, our company VizaUS is ready to gladly offer you consulting services.
