What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act," aims to provide temporary Ukrainian guest status for certain individuals. It specifically targets eligible aliens who were paroled under the Uniting for Ukraine process announced on April 21, 2022. Under this status, individuals are considered admitted to the United States as of their initial parole date. The bill also provides authorization for these individuals to work in the United States for the duration of their status. This guest status expires 120 days after the Secretary of State determines that hostilities have ended and conditions allow for safe return. Finally, the status may be revoked if the Secretary of Homeland Security makes a specific determination.
