AI Summary
This bill, the Granting Recognition to Accomplished Talented Employees For Unwavering Loyalty Act (GRATEFUL Act), aims to preserve the immigrant visa program for foreign nationals who are employees of the U.S. Government abroad or of the American Institute in Taiwan, and have provided exceptional service over a long term to the United States. The bill would provide a dedicated allocation of visas for such employees and their immediate family members when visas are not immediately available in the corresponding visa category. The bill also includes numerical limitations on the number of visas that can be made available, and a temporary reduction in diversity visas to offset the increase in visas for government employees, with a provision to cease the reduction if the number of available diversity visas falls below 50,000.
