Latest Action · September 25, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The Visa Integrity Preservation Act of 2024 would require all foreign nationals who are unlawfully present in the United States to participate in an in-person interview with a U.S. consular officer when applying for a nonimmigrant visa. Currently, some individuals in this situation may be able to apply for visas without a face-to-face meeting. The bill specifically targets people deemed inadmissible under certain provisions of immigration law related to fraud and public charge grounds. This legislation would affect any undocumented immigrant seeking to obtain a temporary visa for work, travel, or other purposes. The bill does not specify any funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the mandate itself.
