S 1885 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act

S 1885 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove annual numerical limits on employment-based visas for a new category (J). This change would directly affect immigrants in category J, allowing them to obtain visas without facing yearly caps. The bill modifies two sections of the law (201(b)(1)(A) and 203(b)(4)) to include category J in the list of exempt categories. The bill's title references "vulnerable immigrant youth," but the provided text does not specify that category J relates to youth or vulnerability.
