Can participants of the U4U program work in the USA?
The U4U program, initiated by the US government, offers Ukrainian refugees a unique opportunity to enter the USA and stay for up to two years. The program aims to support those who are forced to leave their country due to war or other emergencies, providing temporary protection from deportation. One of the main advantages of this program is that participants are allowed to work in the USA without the need to obtain a separate work permit, making the integration process much easier.
Right to work in the USA for U4U program participants
After obtaining U4U program participant status, individuals have the right to work in the USA in any position. It is important to understand that no additional license or certification is required for employment, which greatly simplifies the adaptation process. This is an important aspect, as many immigrants face difficulties in finding work due to the requirement for licenses or certificates that they do not have in their country of origin.
Participants of the program receive pay equivalent to that of American workers, which means equal working conditions, including access to social benefits such as vacation, health insurance, and pension benefits. This allows them to adapt to life in the USA and ensure financial stability for themselves and their families. From the moment of arrival in the USA, participants can work officially, which enables them to not only support themselves but also contribute to the economy of the country.

- Obtaining U4U program participant status. The first step is to submit an application to participate in the program, after which you will gain the right to stay temporarily in the USA. This status allows you to work without a separate work permit.

- Job search. After obtaining the Social Security Number, you can begin your job search. It is important to pay attention to job vacancies that match your experience and qualifications, although for some positions, requirements may be minimal.
Advantages of employment through the U4U program
