Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice announces the
implementation of a U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) parole
process called Uniting for Ukraine.
Pursuant to this process, DHS will offer
certain Ukrainian citizens and their
immediate family members who were
recently displaced by Russia’s war of
aggression in Ukraine, pass biometric
and biographic vetting, have sufficient
financial support in the United States,
and meet other eligibility requirements,
an opportunity to apply for and receive
advance authorization to travel to the
United States for the purpose of seeking
a discretionary grant of parole for urgent
humanitarian reasons or significant
public benefit for up to two years. The
process is intended to be a safe, legal,
and orderly pathway to support
vulnerable Ukrainian citizens and their
immediate family members in Europe
who have been displaced from their
country as a result of Russia’s
unprovoked invasion.
DATES: DHS will make the Uniting for
Ukraine parole process available on
April 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
On February 24, 2022, Russia’s
military launched an unprovoked fullscale invasion of the sovereign nation of
Ukraine, marking the largest
conventional military action in Europe
since World War II 1 and causing the
fastest growing refugee crisis in modern
history. As of April 10, 2022, nearly 12
million people have fled Russia’s
invasion, including seven million
displaced inside Ukraine.2 Russia’s

forces have continued to engage in
significant, sustained bombardment of
major cities, indiscriminately targeting
civilian populations and causing
widespread terror.3 While most of those
fleeing the violence remain in Europe,4
the United States has committed to
welcoming up to 100,000 displaced
Ukrainians and others fleeing Russian
aggression.5 Among other legal
pathways, the United States will
consider, on a case-by-case basis,
granting Ukrainians advance
authorization to travel to the United
States for the purpose of seeking a
discretionary grant of parole for urgent
humanitarian reasons or significant
public benefit.6
The Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) provides the Secretary of
Homeland Security with discretionary
authority to parole noncitizens into the
United States temporarily, under such
reasonable conditions that the Secretary
may prescribe, on a case-by-case basis,
for ‘‘urgent humanitarian reasons or
significant public benefit.’’ INA sec.
212(d)(5)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5)(A); see
also 6 U.S.C. 202(4) (charging the
Secretary with the responsibility for
‘‘[e]stablishing and administering rules
. . . governing . . . parole’’). Parole is
not an admission of the individual to
the United States, and a parolee remains
an ‘‘applicant for admission’’ during the
period of parole in the United States.
INA sec. 212(d)(5)(A), 8 U.S.C.
1182(d)(5)(A). DHS may set the duration
of the parole based on the purpose for
granting the parole request, and may
impose reasonable conditions on parole.
INA sec. 212(d)(5)(A), 8 U.S.C.
1182(d)(5)(A). DHS may terminate
parole in its discretion at any time. See
8 CFR 212.5(e). Individuals who are
paroled into the United States generally
may apply for employment
authorization. See 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(11).
