Bill > HR3104

This bill provides a pathway for Ukrainian nationals who were paroled into the United States after February 20, 2014, to adjust their immigration status to become lawful permanent residents. Eligible individuals include Ukrainian citizens or those who last resided in Ukraine, who have completed security background checks and were either paroled into the US directly or as part of a family reunification process. The bill allows the Department of Homeland Security to adjust their status with some flexibility, waiving certain inadmissibility grounds for humanitarian purposes or to ensure family unity. Applicants must undergo vetting similar to refugee admission processes and an interview. The bill provides protections for spouses who may have been victims of domestic violence, exempts these individuals from numerical immigration limitations, and prohibits charging fees for the application process. Notably, Ukrainian nationals who are eligible must apply within one year of the guidance publication or risk losing their parole status. The bill aims to provide a structured and compassionate approach to helping Ukrainian nationals who were already in the United States during a period of significant geopolitical upheaval, offering them a clear path to permanent residency without the typical immigration barriers.
