Bill overview
This bill, the Energy Security and Lightering Independence Act of 2022, amends immigration law to allow certain alien crew members involved in ship-to-ship liquid cargo transfers to remain in the United States for up to 180 days. It expands the current 29-day limit for transit visas and creates a specific category for crewmen performing these operations, ensuring they can temporarily land to fulfill their duties and depart without being considered employed in the U.S. The changes clarify that these activities are not considered work or employment for immigration purposes.
