Bill overview
The Nuclear Family Priority Act significantly alters U.S. immigration policy, primarily by reducing the number of family-sponsored immigrant visas available. It prioritizes immediate relatives (spouses and children) over other family-based categories, limits the overall number of family-sponsored visas to 88,000 annually, and introduces a system that prioritizes visas for spouses and children of permanent residents. The bill also includes provisions to limit the number of visas issued to specific countries and modifies rules regarding child definitions and eligibility for immigrant status, particularly for adult U.S. citizen children of alien parents.
