Summary of Bill HR 1747
Bill 119 HR 1747, also known as the "Family Reunification Act," aims to make changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act in order to adjust the rules regarding family-sponsored immigrants. The bill seeks to prioritize the reunification of families by making it easier for certain family members to immigrate to the United States.
Specifically, the bill proposes to increase the number of visas available for family-sponsored immigrants, particularly for spouses and children of US citizens and permanent residents. It also aims to reduce the backlog of visa applications by streamlining the process and expediting the approval of visas for eligible family members.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions to protect vulnerable populations, such as victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, by providing them with special immigration benefits and protections. Overall, the Family Reunification Act seeks to promote family unity and ensure that families are able to be together in the United States. It is a bipartisan effort to reform the current immigration system and address the needs of families who are separated due to immigration barriers.
