Creates a new visa for U.S. families to host relatives for short visits.
This bill would create a new visa category specifically for relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to visit temporarily for family reasons. It would allow a wider range of relatives to visit for up to 90 days per year, but they would need a U.S. sponsor and medical insurance. These visitors could not easily change their visa status to stay permanently.
Today, there is no specific temporary visa category for family visits, and those awaiting permanent immigrant visas often face challenges visiting temporarily. After this bill, a new B(iii) visa would allow relatives to visit for up to 90 days per year for family purposes, even if they are awaiting a permanent visa. However, these visitors could not change their visa status or apply for permanent residency while in the U.S.
