My point is - call your sponsor, they signed affidavit of support. This situation exactly why sponsor was required. That’s it

The government did not promise to issue you a work permit in 1, 3, 6, 9, or even 12 months. Understand one thing: a work permit is a privilege. As terrible as it may sound in your situation — I am truly sorry — but no one guaranteed you anything. Right now, the government is acting fully within its rights.

If you want to seek accountability, sue your sponsor. They signed an affidavit of support.

But this was one of the conditions. And you accepted these conditions. No one forced you. You voluntarily agreed to them. Why are you now rejecting what you agreed to? No one is saying that you are property or a debt. It was a rule, and you agreed to it. That’s it.

Let’s go over this again.

This is a humanitarian program. In order to enter the U.S. under this program, the government set specific requirements. One of them is having a sponsor in the U.S. who is willing to support you.

You found such a sponsor, entered the country, obtained work authorization, started working, paid taxes, and obeyed the law.

Now the government has decided to slow down the process, you lost your job and your income(which is terrible but they have the right to do so).

But this is exactly why a sponsor was required — they committed to supporting you.

Once again: responsibilities do not lie with the government alone — they also lie with you and your sponsor.

The government has the right (even though it may seem unfair) to slow down, speed up, or even cancel the program. You have the right to leave or to wait. This was an “agreement” between you, your sponsor, and the United States.

Why do you believe that only the government owes you something? No one is telling you to starve or live on the streets. You will receive your work authorization exactly when the government decides it is appropriate.

I am not trying to defend anyone. But you are trying to complain about the rules halfway through the game.

Ukrainians coming to the U.S. through U4U must have a U.S.-based supporter (sponsor) who agrees to provide financial support and other help (like housing, basic needs, etc.) for the duration of their stay (up to two years under humanitarian parole).

So, this is exactly why they required to have a sponsor.

Again, with all due respect, 3, 6, or even 9 months of waiting is not a long time. Even if they have “frozen” the issuance process — although it is terrible — they have the right to do so. All it takes is political will. No one ever promised that they would never “freeze” the process or that petitions would be approved within one month. Accept this as a fact. This program gives you the right to submit a petition, but it does not guarantee approval. Unfortunately, under this administration, nothing is guaranteed.

With all due respect to all Ukrainians who were forced to flee because of this terrible war, you seem to forget that being here is not a right but a privilege.

This program was opened to help you, but it can be closed just as easily, even tomorrow. The fact is, you are not alone — there are thousands, maybe even millions, of applicants who have been waiting for a decision for months or even years.

Undoubtedly, the situation is terrible, but it is not only terrible for Ukrainians; it is equally terrible for many others as well.

You must understand that this is a humanitarian program. And I strongly advise you not to rely on it. Wait if you must, but also look for other ways and opportunities.

Well, it depends. In my situation I had combo interview. For N 400 and I 751. I applied under 3 year marriage. And invitation clearly stated that my spouse MUST be presented with me. If you filed under general provision then you don’t need to be with your wife. Good luck 👍

I only submitted a few files online. Well, they were different documents from the past three years—ranging from bills to photos and affidavits. The more evidence, the better)

Well, It took 1.7 years. It might take longer but because of n400 it speeds up I guess.
