Ukrainians who wish to come to the United States after fleeing Russian aggression may find it easier to get refuge. President Joe Biden’s administration is planning to launch efforts that will temporarily limit hurdles for Ukrainians to get asylum in the United States, media reports suggest.

The administration will be fast-tracking the process of granting visas to people who are relatives of citizens and permanent residents of the United States. Staff would be put under “humanitarian parole” and will handle applications of people seeking a temporary status, according to reports from Reuters.

Even though it is unclear how many people will be let into the United States after the processes have been eased, Reuter’s unnamed sources suggest vulnerable groups will be given priority.

These reportedly include journalists, activists and members of the LGBTQ community.

United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Refugees called the influx of migrants from Ukraine the fastest-growing refugee crisis since the second world war. So far, at least 6.5 million people have been displaced in Ukraine after Russia invaded the Eastern European country on February 24.

Data from the United States State Department suggests that only seven individuals from Ukraine were resettled in the country in the first half of March, according to reports from Reuters.

The White House bumped up the refugee intake cap to 125,000 last year, reversing a deduction made by former President Donald Trump. Out of these, 10,000 slots have been reserved for people coming from Europe and Central Asia, where Ukraine is.

Biden signed a spending bill earlier this week worth more than $13 billion, out of which $4 billion has been kept aside for people exiting Ukraine. 

A Temporary Protected Status will also be given to nearly 75,000 Ukrainians who are already in the United States, according to reports from Reuters citing an announcement made by the Biden administration.
