Immigration agency would review past approvals for certain foreign nationals.
The U.S. immigration agency would review certain approved immigration requests for foreign nationals. This review would cover approvals made between January 20, 2021, and when the bill becomes law. It would specifically look at requests tied to a December 2025 Presidential Proclamation. The agency would then brief Congress and release a public report by September 15, 2026.
Right now, no specific rule tells the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to fully review certain approved immigration requests. These are requests tied to Presidential Proclamation 10998 and approved between January 20, 2021, and when this bill becomes law. If this bill becomes law, the Director would have to do this review. They would also give an in-person update to Congressional committees. A public report would be put online by September 15, 2026.
