Bill > S1965

This bill, titled the "Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act," aims to eliminate employment-based visa caps for special immigrant juveniles (SIJs), which are children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove numerical limitations on visa allocation for these vulnerable youth. By amending Section 201(b)(1)(A) and Section 203(b)(4), the legislation ensures that SIJs are not constrained by the standard employment-based visa quotas that typically limit immigration. This change will make it easier for these children to obtain permanent residency in the United States, providing them with greater opportunities for stability and protection. The bill represents an effort to support immigrant children who have experienced significant hardship and trauma by removing bureaucratic barriers to their immigration status.
