Protect Patriot Spouses Act
This bill helps spouses of U.S. military members (active or reserve duty, honorably discharged) who have filed for immigration as immediate relatives. It removes specific inadmissibility barriers, including certain criminal history checks unrelated to immigration status, for these spouses during visa processing. It also allows spouses previously removed from the U.S. to apply for visas from abroad and temporarily return as nonimmigrants to reunite with their service member spouse while their applications are pending.
