Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2026

This bill would let certain citizens or nationals of Ukraine who are in the United States apply to become lawful permanent residents (green card holders). It covers people who were admitted before the law takes effect or paroled into the country after February 20, 2014, along with certain family members, if they pass security checks equal to those used for refugees. The Secretary of Homeland Security could waive some grounds for denial, but not for certain crimes committed in the U.S. after February 20, 2014. The bill limits fees to processing costs, allows fee waivers, protects applicants from removal while their application is pending, and exempts approved applicants from annual green card number limits.
