H.R.2705

Nuclear Family Priority Act

Introduced·4/8/25

Nuclear Family Priority Act amends immigration laws to prioritize family-sponsored immigrants and reduce the number of such immigrants.

The Nuclear Family Priority Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to change family-sponsored immigrant categories, reduce the number of such immigrants, and modify the allocation of visas. It redefines "immediate relative" to exclude parents, limits the initial period of authorized admission for certain nonimmigrant parents, and establishes a worldwide level of family-sponsored immigrants. The bill also introduces a new nonimmigrant status for alien parents of adult U.S. citizens, subject to specific conditions.
