End U Visa Abuse Act
Refreshed 6 h ago
Introduced 2026-04-30Topic: immigration · criminal justiceSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would repeal the U visa program in federal immigration law. The U visa currently lets certain noncitizen crime victims who help law enforcement stay in the United States, get work permits, and later apply for permanent residence. The bill would remove the U visa category and strike related sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, including the provision allowing U visa holders to become lawful permanent residents and the waiver of inadmissibility grounds for U visa applicants. The bill also lists congressional findings about fraud cases, pending applications, and other visa options for crime victims and witnesses.
