Immigration to the USA from Ukraine

A change of residence is always an unusual situation, even a stressful one. And there is nothing to say about another country: there is a different mentality, culture and legislation. It will be very difficult to adapt. And it’s hard to get to America, otherwise all Ukrainians would rush there.  Our service page explains how business relocation and residence permits for entrepreneurs work with Crystal Tax, turnkey.

Before deciding on such a serious step as leaving for permanent residence from Ukraine to the United States, it is worth considering everything very carefully. A qualified immigration lawyer will help you with this. In our company, the direction of the United States is led by a separate specialist who knows the laws of this country, with more than 10 years of experience.

We provide a turnkey service for immigration to the United States. This means that you will not need to contact somewhere else, and we will certainly bring our work to the result. 

What are the options for immigrating to the USA from Ukraine?

To get a higher standard of living, you can:

  • try to win a green card;
  • get a job in the US;
  • register a marriage with a citizen of this country. 

How to immigrate to the USA from Ukraine using a green card?

This program was launched by the State Department in 1990. It is enough to be a native of a participating country with a completed secondary education. You may not even know English. Pay attention! You should not use the services of offices that guarantee to win a green card. It's just a lottery.

There were rumors about the termination of the issuance of green cards by holding a lottery, but so far this practice continues. 

Marrying a foreigner

Immigration from Ukraine to the United States is possible through marriage with an American. From the documents you need only a passport, an application and a marriage certificate. All of them are submitted to the migration service.

On a work visa

It takes about a month for an employer to obtain a permit. It is necessary to confirm your value for the state, a high level of professional skills. It is necessary to work in the specialty for many years. Priority for those who are engaged in natural and technical sciences, high technologies. Knowledge of English is a must. You will have to first find an employer, and only then just leave.

There is another option to obtain a visa if you have close relatives in the United States. But it also has many legal nuances. 

It is also possible to obtain US citizenship by investment (from $500,000). But the higher the amount, the more chances to get into a big city, and not an agricultural area. 

Also, workers of culture and science have a chance to obtain American citizenship. Again, preference in this country is given to scientists who have achieved significant success in biology, physics, mathematics, cybernetics, chemistry, astronomy. 

Is there a refugee program in the US?

Yes, there is such a program. But you will have to collect evidence that you are being persecuted in Ukraine. 

Therefore, please contact us for advice, and we will determine your chances of immigrating to the United States, give recommendations, and collect the necessary package of documents.
