Vulnerable immigrant children would no longer face visa limits for permanent residency.
The 'Protect Vulnerable Immigrant Youth Act' would remove limits on employment-based visas for children who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. This change would make it easier for these special immigrant juveniles to get permanent residency in the U.S. without being held back by visa caps.
Today, special immigrant juveniles are subject to numerical limits on employment-based visas, which can delay their path to permanent residency. If this bill becomes law, these children would be exempt from those specific visa caps, potentially making their journey to permanent residency faster.
