The U.S. government has introduced new immigration policy measures aimed at reducing visa processing delays and improving eligibility for certain visa categories. Key changes include provisions to prevent children from aging out of visa eligibility due to government delays, the designation of student visas as ‘dual intent,’ and automatic O-1 visa eligibility for STEM PhD holders. Additionally, the proposal allocates $3.6 billion to address processing backlogs at USCIS, the State Department, and the Labor Department.
Key Details:
- New provisions prevent children from aging out of visa eligibility due to delays.
- Student visas will now be classified as ‘dual intent,’ allowing for dual purpose.
- STEM PhD holders will automatically qualify for O-1 visas.
- $3.6 billion allocated to reduce processing backlogs across immigration agencies.
