Purpose and Summary

Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Bill 119 HR 2118, also known as the "Temporary Ukrainian Guest Status Act," aims to provide temporary guest status for eligible aliens from Ukraine. The bill is designed to offer relief to Ukrainian nationals who are facing political unrest, violence, or other hardships in their home country.

Under this legislation, eligible Ukrainian nationals would be able to apply for temporary guest status in the United States. This status would allow them to live and work in the US for a specified period of time, providing them with a safe haven from the turmoil in Ukraine.

In addition to providing temporary guest status, the bill also includes provisions for the protection of Ukrainian nationals who are already in the US. It seeks to prevent their deportation back to Ukraine, where they may face danger or persecution. Overall, the Temporary Ukrainian Guest Status Act is a humanitarian effort to support Ukrainian nationals who are in need of assistance during this challenging time. It is a non-partisan bill that aims to provide temporary relief and protection for those who are seeking refuge from the turmoil in Ukraine.
