The Nuclear Family Priority Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to prioritize family-sponsored immigrants who are children or spouses of.
The Nuclear Family Priority Act modifies the definition of immediate relatives under the Immigration and Nationality Act, removing parents from this category. It also changes the family-sponsored immigrant categories, reducing the number of such immigrants. The bill sets a worldwide level for family-sponsored immigrants and allocates 75% of visas without per-country limitations, while the remaining 25% are subject to numerical limitations for certain countries. Additionally, it introduces nonimmigrant status for alien parents of adult U.S. citizens, subject to specific conditions.
