A:
In your situation, it is possible for the mother to enter the U.S. on the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) program while her daughter enters on a visa, but there are important considerations. Ensure the visa for the daughter is valid and she meets all entry requirements. They must each have their respective travel documents in order.
Upon arrival, they should be prepared to explain their situation to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. Having documentation to show the relationship between mother and daughter and their intentions in the U.S. will be helpful. Clear communication about their different entry statuses can aid in a smooth process.
It’s advisable to contact the airline beforehand to confirm their travel documents are in order. This preparation can help avoid any unexpected issues at the airport. By ensuring all paperwork is complete and correct, you can facilitate a smoother entry process for both mother and daughter.
