Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

This bill would dramatically reduce the number of family-sponsored green cards from roughly 226,000 per year down to 88,000. It eliminates entire categories of family-sponsored immigration — adult children, siblings, and parents of U.S. citizens would no longer be eligible for permanent residency through family ties. Green card holders waiting to bring over spouses and minor children would face a much more competitive and limited visa pool.
