Contact Congress about H.R. 3911: Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2023

Many Ukrainians now living in the U.S. on parole could apply for permanent residence. They would need strong security checks, but they would not pay application fees under this bill.

Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Ukrainians who are already in the U.S. with temporary parole and want a permanent way to stay. It also affects close family members, some caregivers of unaccompanied children, and abused spouses or children who might need protection after a family breakup. Immigration agencies would also feel the impact because they would need to screen applications, hold interviews, and issue guidance.

Why this matters: Many Ukrainians in the U.S. have temporary permission that can run out, and this bill would give eligible people a path to stay permanently. That could make work, school, housing, and family planning more stable. It could also add work for immigration agencies because each case needs checks, screening, and an interview. The bill does not state how many people would qualify or how large the long-term effect would be.

Key provisions in H.R. 3911

• Applicants must be Ukrainian nationals, or people whose last regular home was Ukraine. They must have been paroled into the U.S. after February 20, 2014, or paroled to join a qualifying spouse, child, or certain parent or caregiver of an unaccompanied child.
• Applicants must meet most normal green card entry rules. The public charge rule, labor certification rule, and immigrant visa document rule would not apply.
• The Secretary of Homeland Security could forgive many immigration bars for humanitarian reasons, family unity, or the public interest. The Secretary could not forgive certain criminal bars for crimes the applicant committed in the U.S. on or after February 20, 2014.
• The government must screen applicants at least as closely as refugees in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Each applicant must also have an interview.
• If approved, the person’s green card status would count from the date they were first inspected and admitted or paroled into the U.S. That gives the status an earlier start date.
