Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act

HR 2118, the Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act, establishes "Ukrainian guest status" for individuals paroled into the U.S. under the Uniting for Ukraine program (announced April 21, 2022). This status, effective from their initial parole date, grants eligible Ukrainians work authorization and temporary legal presence. The status expires 120 days after the Secretary of State determines hostilities in Ukraine have ceased and safe return conditions exist. It may be revoked if the Secretary of Homeland Security finds an individual meets specific immigration grounds for removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
