Bill Summary
A BILL To terminate the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
AI Summary
This bill, the Visa Lottery Repeal Act, proposes to terminate the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, also known as the "visa lottery." The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove the provisions related to the diversity visa program, which currently allocates a certain number of immigrant visas to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The bill includes technical and conforming amendments to other sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act to reflect the repeal of the diversity visa program. The bill would take effect upon enactment, but it includes a provision allowing individuals who have already been selected to apply for a diversity visa to do so under the existing rules.
