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. Senate companion to H.R. 2118, introduced by Sen. Durbin with bipartisan support from Sens. Rosen, Duckworth, Van Hollen, Blumenthal, Klobuchar, and Welch.
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 Senate bill, paired with H.R. 2118 in the House, 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 Senator [SENATOR'S NAME] to cosponsor S. 696, the Protecting our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act. This bill 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 Senator [SENATOR'S NAME] cosponsor S. 696? 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
