ከኢትዮጲያ የእርስ በርስ ጦርነት ሸሸተው አሜሪካ የገቡ ስደተኞች ከአሜሪካ መንግስት የጊዜያዊ ጥገኘነት ለ 18 ወር ተሰትጧቸዋል።በዚህን ጊዜ እየሰሩ እንዲኖሩ የስራ ፈቃድም ይሰጣቸዋል።ይህ ለሁሉም ቪዛ የሚሰራ ነው። https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-designates-ethiopia-for-temporary-protected-status-for-18-months WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the designation of Ethiopia for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. Only individuals who are already residing in the United States as of October 20, 2022 will be eligible for TPS. “The United States recognizes the ongoing armed conflict and the extraordinary and temporary conditions engulfing Ethiopia, and DHS is committed to providing temporary protection to those in need,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “Ethiopian nationals currently residing in the U.S. who cannot safely return due to conflict-related violence and a humanitarian crisis involving severe food shortages, flooding, drought, and displacement, will be able to remain and work in the United States until conditions in their home country improve.” A country may be designated for TPS when conditions in the country fall into one or more of the three statutory bases for designation: ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. This designation is based on both ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Ethiopia that prevent Ethiopian nationals, and those of no nationality who last habitually resided in Ethiopia, from returning to Ethiopia safely. Due to the armed conflict, civilians are at risk of conflict-related violence, including attacks, killings, rape, and other forms of gender-based violence; ethnicity-based detentions; and human rights violations and abuses. Extraordinary and temporary conditions that further prevent nationals from returning in safety include a humanitarian crisis involving severe food insecurity, flooding, drought, large-scale displacement, and the impact of disease outbreaks. This will be Ethiopia’s first designation for TPS. Individuals eligible for TPS under this designation must have continuously resided in the United States since October 20, 2022. Individuals who attempt to travel to the United States after October 20, 2022 will not be eligible for TPS under this designation. Ethiopia’s 18-month designation will go into effect on the publication date of the forthcoming Federal Register notice. The Federal Register notice will provide instructions for applying for TPS and an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). TPS applicants must meet all eligibility requirements and undergo security and background checks.

ለግሪን ካርድ የሚያመለክቱ ስደተኞች ከማመልከታቸው በፊት በስልሳ ቀን ውስጥ የህክምና ምርመራ እና ክትባታቸውን እንዲያጠናቅቁ የሚያዘው ህግ ቀነ ገደብ ወደ ማርች 31  2023 ተዛውሯል።ከዚህ ቀደም ያደረጋችሁት ምርመራ እና የሞላችሁት ፎርም ተቀባይነት አለው ስለዚህ I-693 እንዲሁ ተቀባይነት አለው። U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is extending our temporary waiver of the requirement that civil surgeons must sign Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record, no more than 60 days before an individual applies for the underlying immigration benefit (including Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status). The waiver was originally effective until Sept. 30, 2022, but we have extended it to March 31, 2023, to further ease processing delays and associated difficulties in timely completing the immigration medical examination. This waiver applies to all Forms I-693 associated with applications for underlying immigration benefits that have not been adjudicated, regardless of when the application was submitted to USCIS or when a civil surgeon signed the Form I-693. This waiver will help applicants who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related processing delays, which have sometimes delayed immigration medical examinations. It also will help many applicants, including Afghan nationals evacuated under Operation Allies Welcome, who completed immigration medical examinations but could not apply for adjustment of status within 60 days of a civil surgeon signing their Form I-693.

የአሜሪካ ኢሚግሬሽን ቢሮ ወደ ሃገሪቱ ለሚገቡ እና ግሪን ካርድ ለሚጠይቁ ስደተኞች በመንግስት እርዳታ መኖራቸው የኢሚግሬሽን ጉዳያቸው ላይ አሉታዊ ተጽእኖ ያደርሳል ሲል አሳውቋል።በዚህ መሰረት ስደተኞች ወደ ሀገሪቱ እንዳይገቡ ሊከለክል ይችላል። U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a final rule on the public charge ground of inadmissibility. When you apply to be admitted into the United States or become a lawful permanent resident, USCIS can deny your application if it determines that you are “likely to become a public charge”—meaning you depend primarily on the government to support yourself. The final rule sets out how USCIS will make this determination. The new rule will go into effect on December 23, 2022 and will apply to applications postmarked on or after that date. Until then, USCIS will continue to apply the 1999 Interim Field Guidance on public charge inadmissibility, as it has done since March 9, 2021. Why This Matters Under the new rule, USCIS formalizes an approach that allows it to follow the law, protect the country’s interests, and address the fear and confusion that previously led eligible non-citizens to disenroll from public benefits (even when they were not subject to the public charge ground). What USCIS Will Look At Under the final rule, USCIS will determine if you are likely to become a public charge based on the following: Your age, health, family status, financial status (including assets and resources), education, and skills; Whether a sponsor has submitted Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA, for you (when required); and Whether you have received or are receiving: Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Cash assistance for income maintenance under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); State, tribal, territorial, or local cash benefit programs for income maintenance (often called “General Assistance”); or Long-term institutionalization at government expense. What USCIS Will Not Look At Under the new rule, USCIS will NOT consider the following when making a public charge determination: Benefits received by your family members; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or other nutrition programs benefits; Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) benefits; Medicaid (other than long-term institutionalization at government expense); Housing benefits; Any benefits related to immunizations or testing for communicable diseases; or Other supplemental or special-purpose benefits. Under U.S. immigration law, public charge inadmissibility does not affect or apply to some applicants. That means the new rule will not affect you if you are: Already a lawful permanent resident (in most cases); A refugee; An asylee; Applying for or re-registering for Temporary Protected Status; A special immigration juvenile; or Applying for or have T, U, or Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) status. For a full list of the categories of applicants exempted by Congress from the public charge ground of inadmissibility, see the final rule.
