PHILADELPHIA — Liliia Kravtsova fled the Ukrainian seaport city of Odesa as bombs exploded and people died, leaving behind her law practice and seeking safety in the United States.
She’s not a lawyer in this country, where she lives with an aunt, uncle and cousin in Huntingdon Valley. In fact she’s not working at all — she’s not allowed. It will be months before she gets official government permission to take a job.
“People are forced to look for illegal work,” said Kravtsova, 28, who arrived here in May, “and face many risks.”
