Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act aims to boost the U.S. nurse and physician workforce by recapturing unused immigrant visas.
The Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act seeks to enhance the nation's healthcare workforce by recapturing unused employment-based immigrant visas. It allocates 25,000 visas for professional nurses and 15,000 for physicians, exempting them from country caps and skill-based numerical limitations. The bill also mandates expedited processing for related applications and petitions, ensuring they are handled without premium fees. This initiative targets healthcare professionals whose petitions are filed within three years of the act's enactment.
