This bill requires USCIS to review immigration benefit applications approved between January 20, 2021, and the bill's enactment, focusing on cases linked to Presidential Proclamation 10998, which restricts entry of certain foreign nationals for security reasons. USCIS must check whether these approvals followed proper procedures and legal standards. By September 15, 2026, USCIS must brief the House and Senate Judiciary Committees in person and publish a public report with its findings.
USCIS staff would carry out the review and reporting, and members of Congress would receive the briefing. Immigrants whose applications were approved during that period and fall under the proclamation's scope could also be affected.
The bill does not directly cancel or change anyone's immigration status, but findings from the review could lead to increased scrutiny or future policy changes for people who received benefits during that time.
