Nuclear Family Priority Act

This bill, the Nuclear Family Priority Act, would change U.S. immigration policy by removing parents from the list of immediate family members eligible for visas, prioritizing only spouses and children of permanent residents. It reduces the worldwide annual cap for family-sponsored visas from 226,000 to 88,000, with the remainder subject to country-specific limits. Additionally, it creates a new temporary nonimmigrant visa category for parents of adult U.S. citizens (age 21+), requiring the U.S. citizen child to provide health insurance, cover support costs, and limiting stay to 5 years with no work authorization. These changes directly affect family immigration pathways and parents seeking to join adult children in the U.S.
