It's great to see that they have peace of mind here, most professions such as doctors will require a recertification. All things are possible here and welcome to The United States.

Welcome! You will be great additions to America! We need more doctors.. a friend of mine was a doctor in Russia, he immigrated to the USA and became a licensed doctor here within 3 years. Its hard, but these people can do it.

They came after the Blacks but they are treated differently, they were place, currently in august 2023 those that were in line before them are forced to stay outside in NYC because shelters are full. the US governmet is making a humanitarian efforts to help these white Ukrainian but find any excuse not to be just as creative to help the Blacks and Hispanic refugees that arrived before these. Why do they get preferential treatment when they arrive later, why are not they in dirty shelter or simply on the floor in NYC around rats and filth. You can tell they are given space, good food, proper accomadation. We need to stop haviing preferential treatment based on race. This is ridiculous!!!!

It's a shame that the U.S. policies created this situation
