Reforms Extended-family Chain Migration

•eforms family-based immigration to place a greater emphasis on the nuclear family, limiting family-based immigrant visas to spouses and unmarried children under 18 years old.

•randfathers all immigrants who are waiting in line for a pending family-based petition.

•llows parents of U.S. Citizens (approximately 150,000 per year) to receive non-immigrant visas to enter the United States for a renewable 5-year period. Visas do not provide a work authorization.

•amily-based immigration reforms for other classes (siblings, adult children) would not take effect until clearance of existing backlogs— giving Congress years to enact merit-based reforms.

If this passes, inka it's very clear they are not interested in fixing legal immigration. Merit based will take it's own sweet time and we continue to be slaves under employers. Shameful US still not adopting Merit based system where you can directly work with USCIS and get PR like Canada and Aus.
