The "Protecting Our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act" aims to provide a formal temporary status for certain Ukrainian nationals in the United States. Specifically, it grants Ukrainian guest status to individuals who were previously paroled into the U.S. under the Uniting for Ukraine parole process announced on April 21, 2022. This new status is considered effective from the alien's original parole date and includes authorization for employment in the United States for its duration. The Ukrainian guest status is designed to be temporary, expiring 120 days after the Secretary of State determines that hostilities in Ukraine have ceased and conditions allow for the safe and reasonable return of civilians. However, this status can be revoked if the Secretary of Homeland Security finds that the alien meets specific criteria related to inadmissibility or deportability under immigration law.
