Ukrainian Adjustment Act: Streamlined Path to Permanent Residency
This act aims to simplify the process for Ukrainian nationals who arrived in the U.S. after February 2014 to obtain permanent resident status. This means eligible individuals can apply for a green card, providing stability and full rights, without application fees. The act also includes protections for victims of domestic violence.
