Biden extends humanitarian status for Ukrainian refugees.

The Biden administration has announced that thousands of Ukrainians who fled to the United States in the first months after Russia invaded their country will be eligible to extend their stay for one year on a case-by-case basis. The total two-year period aligns with the length of time Ukrainians fleeing the war were later permitted to stay in the United States under a program in a system known as humanitarian parole. Nearly 300,000 Ukrainians and their families have entered the country since the start of the war under humanitarian parole, with a visa or as a refugee.
