Veterans Visa and Protection Act of 2023
The Veterans Visa and Protection Act of 2023 establishes a program to help noncitizen veterans - those who served in the U.S. military but are not U.S. citizens - gain lawful permanent residence in the United States. It requires the government to reopen removal cases for eligible veterans, adjust their status if they lack certain criminal convictions (like a "crime of violence"), and prohibits removal except for such offenses. The bill also ensures these veterans can access military benefits they lost due to removal and qualify for naturalization through military service, with records annotated to track their status and service history.
