Summary

This bill would eliminate employment-based visa caps for abused, abandoned, and neglected immigrant children who are eligible for humanitarian protection. The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt this category of children from numerical visa limitations that normally apply to employment-based immigration. This would allow these vulnerable youth to obtain employment-based visas without being subject to annual caps or per-country limits. The change would make children in this humanitarian category eligible for the same exemption from numerical limitations as other specified humanitarian categories.
