Streamlining Employment Visas and Green Cards for Immigrants
This act aims to speed up the process of obtaining employment-based visas and green cards, especially for healthcare workers and certain US college graduates. It increases the number of available visas and makes it easier for family members of immigrants to get work permits, potentially reducing waiting times for legal residency and employment in the United States.
Key points
Increased number of available employment-based visas, potentially shortening green card waiting times for many.
Elimination of visa limits for healthcare workers, making it easier for them to legally settle and work in the US.
Spouses and children of certain nonimmigrant visa holders (e.g., E, H, L) can now obtain work permits in the US.
Easier green card access for some US college graduates who have lived in the US for at least 10 years as dependents of nonimmigrant visa holders.
Ability to file for green card adjustment of status earlier for those with an approved immigrant petition, allowing legal presence and work while awaiting visa availability.
