I–VETS Act

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security, when a noncitizen applies for an immigration benefit or is placed in an immigration enforcement proceeding, to determine whether that person is serving or has served in the U.S. Armed Forces, including active duty and active-status reserve members. If so, the department would have to mark the person's immigration and naturalization records to show that military service. The records would also be marked so the department can track the outcomes of each such person's case. Information gathered under the bill could not be used to remove the person from the United States.
