Bill overview
The Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act aims to address shortages of nurses and physicians in the United States by increasing the number of available immigrant visas. It does this by reallocating unused employment-based immigrant visas from fiscal years 1992-2021, prioritizing 25,000 visas for professional nurses and 15,000 for physicians. The bill also includes expedited processing and premium processing options to speed up the immigration process for these healthcare professionals and ensures family members accompanying them receive visas in the same priority.
