AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let the State Department use certain passport and immigrant visa surcharges, along with fees in the Fraud Prevention and Detection Account, to pay for general consular services, including protecting U.S. citizens overseas. It would allow unused balances from certain fee accounts and other foreign affairs funds to be moved into the Consular and Border Security Programs account. Moving other foreign affairs funds would require the Secretary of State to find it necessary to sustain consular operations and to report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees after consulting them. The bill also authorizes the Secretary of State to work toward interviewing 80 percent of nonimmigrant visa applicants within 3 weeks, with exceptions allowed for resource, security, and citizen-service needs.
