The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism, scientific objectivity, and a systematic approach, which made it possible to clarify logical changes in the historical process impartially. The research methods are represented by general scientific (historical, logical) and special methods (historical-comparative, retrospective). The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive analysis of the areas of assistance provided by non-governmental international organizations in Ukraine in cooperation with the USA in interaction with the State Migration Service of Ukraine in the field of migration. The conclusions correspond to the stated goal of the study. International missions began their activities in Ukraine following the declaration of its independence. The most significant for Ukraine was the bilateral agreement concluded between the Governments of Ukraine and the United States of America on May 7, 1992, under which the American government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) assisted our country in realizing its economic, political and social potential. Ukraine played a critically important role in American state aid measures. It should be noted that the significant contribution of the US Government, together with the United Nations Foundation, to supporting the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), which cooperates with the State Migration Service of Ukraine on issues of refugees and migrants. Ukraine’s mutual interest in cooperation with international partners, to provide humanitarian and technical and economic assistance to Ukraine, has contributed to strengthening national measures to prevent irregular migration and to the proper level of management of migration processes.
