Bill Summary
A BILL To establish a new nonimmigrant category for alien relatives of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents seeking to enter the United States temporarily for family purposes, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new nonimmigrant visa category for alien relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents seeking to enter the United States temporarily for family purposes. The key provisions are: 1) Amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow for "family purpose" visas in addition to business and pleasure visas; 2) Requiring relatives seeking admission under this new visa category to obtain health insurance and have a sponsor submit a declaration of support; 3) Limiting the period of authorized admission for these visas to 90 days; and 4) Restricting the ability of individuals to petition for a relative's admission if that relative previously overstayed their visa. The bill also allows those awaiting an immigrant visa to be eligible for the new family purpose visa.
