AI Summary
This bill, the EAGLE Act of 2022 (Equal Access to Green cards for Legal Employment Act of 2022), aims to make several changes to the U.S. immigration system. It would eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, increase the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants, require employers to post job openings on a Department of Labor website, impose new requirements for H-1B visa petitions, increase penalties for H-1B program violations, and create a new process for employment-based immigrants to adjust their status in the United States.
