A BILL To provide temporary Ukrainian guest status for eligible aliens, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act," provides a special temporary immigration status for Ukrainians who were paroled into the United States through the Uniting for Ukraine process announced on April 21, 2022. Under this bill, eligible Ukrainian aliens would be considered legally admitted to the United States and granted "Ukrainian guest status" retroactive to their initial parole date. This status automatically authorizes them to work in the United States for the duration of their status. The Ukrainian guest status will expire 120 days after the Secretary of State determines that hostilities in Ukraine have ceased and civilians can safely return. The Department of Homeland Security retains the right to revoke an individual's status if they are found to meet certain disqualifying conditions related to potential security risks, as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill provides a temporary protective measure for Ukrainians displaced by the ongoing conflict, offering them legal stability and work authorization while their home country remains unsafe.
