Bill Summary

Creates "Ukrainian guest status" for Ukrainians who entered the U.S. through the Uniting for Ukraine parole program (launched April 2022), granting them lawful status and employment authorization. Status expires 120 days after the Secretary of State certifies that hostilities in Ukraine have ceased and safe return is possible. House companion to S. 696, introduced by Rep. Fitzpatrick with bipartisan support.

Why This Bill Matters

Over 200,000 Ukrainians entered the U.S. through the Uniting for Ukraine parole program. Without this bill, their legal status and work authorization could expire while the war continues, forcing them to return to an active war zone. This House bill, paired with S. 696 in the Senate, ensures Congress can act on both sides of the Capitol to protect these individuals.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I'm a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].

I'm calling to urge [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 2118, which provides immigration protection for Ukrainians lawfully present in the U.S. when Russia's full-scale invasion began.

These are people who cannot safely return to an active war zone. Will [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 2118?

Thank you.

🇺🇦 300,000+ Ukrainians fled Putin's war & came here legally. Now they're in immigration limbo. The Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104) gives them a path forward. Call your rep: 202-224-3121 #UkrainianAdjustmentAct #HR3104 #StandWithUkraine
