This section establishes a process for the Secretary of Homeland Security to adjust the status of eligible nationals of Ukraine to lawful permanent residents. Eligible individuals include citizens or nationals of Ukraine (or those who last resided there) who were inspected and admitted before the date of enactment, paroled after February 20, 2014, or paroled as accompanying family members, provided they pass security and law enforcement checks, submit an application, meet admissibility requirements (with specified waivers available), and receive a favorable national security determination. The Secretary must apply refugee admissibility rules, establish vetting standards equivalent to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, protect battered spouses, and issue interim guidance within 180 days and final guidance within one year.
