When the war broke out in Ukraine in 2022, I left everything behind and came to Nevada seeking safety and a chance to rebuild my life. Adjusting hasn’t been simple: language barriers, cultural differences, and the uncertainty of my immigration status weigh on me daily. I want to work, study, and live peacefully, but I’m not sure what legal protections or opportunities I truly have here. What are the most important things I should know about living in the U.S. long-term?

You may qualify for programs like Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or humanitarian parole, which give you legal permission to stay and work. Checking your eligibility is the first step to building stability.

Many Ukrainians who arrived after 2022 have been granted temporary legal protections. With TPS, you can work legally, get a driver’s license, and in some cases pursue education.


Community organizations in Nevada also provide support with housing and language classes. While these benefits help, they are not permanent solutions.


It’s wise to start exploring longer-term immigration pathways if you plan to remain in the U.S.

Living in the U.S. as a refugee or parolee can feel overwhelming at first. The key is to connect with local immigrant support networks that understand your background.

They can guide you toward both immediate assistance and long-term immigration options.
