More Employment Visas: Easing Immigration for Workers in the US
This act aims to make unused family-sponsored visas from previous years available for employment-based visa applicants in fiscal year 2023. This will allow more individuals to obtain permanent resident status in the US based on employment, potentially reducing visa waiting times and clearing application backlogs. These visas will not be subject to per-country limits, meaning citizens from high-demand countries may receive them faster.
