Uniting For Ukraine

The Gaston Law Firm, P.A. Supports Uniting for Ukraine

Welcoming Ukrainians in South Florida and Nationwide

The United States announced the “Uniting for Ukraine” program on April 21, 2022. According to U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS):

“Uniting for Ukraine provides a pathway for Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members who are outside the United States to come to the United States and stay temporarily in a two-year period of parole.”

Each Ukrainian traveling to the United States must have a supporter in the country.

The Gaston Law Firm, P.A. is proud to help both Ukrainians and their supporters participate in Uniting for Ukraine from our offices in Stuart, Florida. Our team is experienced in handling complex immigration matters and provides honest and ethical counsel, every step of the way.

Who Is Eligible for Uniting for Ukraine?

Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members are eligible for parole under Uniting for Ukraine. Immediate family members include spouses and common-law partners, as well as unmarried children under the age of 21.

To be eligible for Uniting for Ukraine, beneficiaries must have resided in Ukraine immediately before the Russian invasion and been displaced due to the invasion. They must also have valid Ukrainian passports and pass biographic and biometric security checks.

Beneficiaries must have a supporter in the United States.

Who Can Support a Ukrainian Under Uniting for Ukraine?

Any individual with lawful status in the United States and sufficient financial resources may support a Ukrainian under Uniting for Ukraine. Supporters do not have to be U.S. citizens, but they must pass security and background vetting.

Beneficiaries of DACA, TPS holders, nonimmigrants in lawful status, lawful permanent residents, U.S. citizens and nationals, and asylees, refugees, and parolees may support Ukrainians under Uniting for Ukraine.

"Always there, very polite, and professional"
Mr. Gaston and Ms. Ivana were always there, very polite and professional. At one point when I had to step back Mr. Gaston refunded some of my money back which at this day and age you don't expect. We obtained my husbands residency with no problems and there was open communication the whole time. I highly recommend this firm.

"I found the one person who care enough to walk with me through my journey"
I thought only the rich can afford the best. I thought most Lawyers were crooked and trained to act sympathetic, and take your money. I just about gave up on the Legal System, when a friend of mines said, "I heard of a really good Lawyer. You should give him a call." I put my life on it. It's one of the best choice yet to this date. I was treated with respect. What amazed me was that, I felt like I was his only Client. I surprised myself sometimes. When I started feeling like I had my own personal Lawyer. A GREAT Lawyer like Christopher Gaston, also comes with an AWESOME TEAM. Ms. Juliana is Secretary is very attentive to his Clients, and not only she's aware of our needs. She gave Mr. Gaston best interest at heart. I would recommend this whole world to Christopher Gaston law firm. He made sure to work with you. Even if he's not fit for the job. He won't mislead you if he cannot assist you. He's honest, caring, and a man of his word. I must say after years fighting my legal issues with Immigration. I found the one person who care enough to walk with me through my journey. I thank God he send him to me. I wouldn't have wanted it any different. I not only have my personal Lawyer. I found a lifetime friend.

"They were there to provide me with accurate information and guidance even when I was anxious and had little hope."
I have been working with the Gaston Law firm from 2016 until 2019. It is easy for me to give them a great review as they assisted me and supported me in getting my Permanent Resident card through my complicated circumstance. They were there to provide me with accurate information and guidance even when I was anxious and had little hope. Their confidence in believing in my case and their personable presence really made me feel that they were invested in my life. I would recommend Mr. Gaston as well as Ivana, if anyone ever needs any guidance in this matter.

FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions

I’m a foreign national studying in the U.S., can I stay within the country following graduation?

To stay in the country following graduation, a student will need to obtain an H-1B temporary worker visa. Typically, graduates who work in a specialty field (such as a medical professional or engineer) will be able to obtain this visa with ease. To ensure that this process moves smoothly, it is recommended that students apply for this visa as early as possible to avoid penalties.
Can I become a citizen after I am granted permanent residency?

Yes! If you live in the country for five years as a permanent resident, you will be able to obtain citizenship through naturalization. To be eligible for this, however, you must have been physically living in the country for at least half of those five years – and must not have left for a time period longer than six months.
I am looking to adopt a foreign child – how can I make the process as fast as possible?

For those who are looking into adoption, but have yet to identify the child that they are interested in adopting, it is recommended that they file an Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition. This will allow for the portion relating to the approval of the parents to be completed by the time the child is chosen so that the adoption process can be expedited.
If I become a citizen, what are the privileges that I will experience?

There are three primary privileges that citizens can experience. These include being able to vote in local, state and national elections; having the ability to obtain a passport; and sponsoring relatives in their efforts to become a permanent resident.
