What this bill would do

The Nuclear Family Priority Act aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to change rules regarding family-sponsored immigrants. It seeks to reduce the total number of these immigrants by redefining immediate relatives and adjusting visa allocations. The bill removes parents from certain immediate relative definitions and modifies the worldwide level of available visas. It also introduces a new nonimmigrant status for parents of adult United States citizens under specific conditions. These changes include new requirements for financial support and health insurance.
