Expanding Health Care Providers for Veterans Act

This bill would change federal immigration law so that H-1B specialty-occupation visas for people employed at, or offered jobs at, the Department of Veterans Affairs or a VA-certified State veterans home would not count toward the yearly cap on H-1B visas. The change would take effect 6 months after the bill becomes law. The bill also states that the September 19, 2025 presidential proclamation restricting entry of certain nonimmigrant workers, or any similar executive order or proclamation, would not apply to these workers.
