New Temporary Family Visa: Easier Visits for Relatives of US Citizens and Residents.
This bill establishes a new temporary visa category allowing US citizens and permanent residents to bring a wide range of relatives, including extended family, for short visits up to 90 days per year. This visa is specifically designed to facilitate family visits and is available even to relatives who are currently awaiting permanent immigrant visas. Visitors must secure medical insurance, and the US sponsor must provide a declaration of support.
