Often times I hear this question, “What does it cost to bring a family and how much to support”? The question is simple, the answer is complex.
The answer begins after Homeland Security {USCIS} approves an individual with entry and travel permission from Ukraine to the USA. First, the airline ticket, for a family of three approximately $2,585.00 (from Poland). Upon arrival, to provide an one-bedroom apartment $2,200.00 per month, a three-bedroom house $ 3,750.00 per month. Utilities, groceries, incidentals approx. $ 1,170.00 per month. The support ranges are from $3,370.00 to $4,920.00 per month. The medical and dental services are provided by the generosity of a few of my professional friends, These are members of the local Catholic Churches and Temples, here in Boca Raton.
