AI Summary

This bill establishes a new nonimmigrant visa category for relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to enter the United States temporarily for family purposes. The key provisions include: 1. Amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new "family purpose" visa category under the B-visa (visitor) classification. 2. Requiring relatives seeking admission under this new visa to obtain a short-term travel medical insurance policy, express intent to leave the U.S. at the end of their authorized stay, and have a sponsor submit a declaration of financial support. 3. Limiting the period of authorized admission for this visa to 90 days per calendar year, and restricting individuals who previously sponsored a relative who overstayed their authorized period from petitioning for a new relative. 4. Allowing individuals awaiting an immigrant visa to be admitted under the new "family purpose" visa, but specifying that this does not constitute an admission for the purposes of adjusting their immigration status.
