AI Summary
This bill, the Eliminating Backlogs Act of 2023, aims to preserve expiring employment-based visas and make them available for issuance during fiscal year 2024. Specifically, the bill would increase the worldwide level of employment-based immigrants by the number of unused family-sponsored immigrant visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2021. These additional visas would be allocated on a proportional basis, without being subject to the per-country limitations, and would remain available until they are issued and used as the basis for an application for admission into the United States.
