Thousands of Ukrainians who arrived in the U.S. in recent weeks are now eligible for Temporary Protected Status.

The Biden administration announced Monday that Ukrainians who entered the US by April 11 are eligible to apply for 18 months of deportation protection and work authorization. Previously, the qualifying date was March 1st.

Nearly five million people have fled Ukraine since the conflict began, according to numbers from the United Nations.
