Lets religious workers stay in the U.S. longer while waiting for green card decisions.
This bill helps religious workers stay in the U.S. longer while they wait for green card decisions. Currently, many must leave after 5 years. The bill also offers more job flexibility and removes a rule requiring some to wait a year abroad before returning.
Today: Religious workers on temporary visas must leave the U.S. after 5 years, even if their green card application is still pending. Some must also live abroad for one year before reapplying. Job flexibility is limited. After this bill: Eligible religious workers could extend their stay beyond 5 years until their green card decision. They would also get more job flexibility and some would be exempt from the 1-year foreign residence rule.
