HR 7359 United States House · 119th Congress

Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act

This bill prohibits most Somali citizens and nationals from obtaining U.S. visas or immigration status for 25 years after enactment. It amends immigration laws to block new admissions while allowing exceptions for those already lawfully admitted, lawful permanent residents, and individuals with specific diplomatic visas (A-1, G-1, etc.). The law directly affects Somali nationals seeking to immigrate to the U.S. and takes effect immediately upon passage. It creates a permanent policy change to restrict immigration from Somalia, with limited exceptions for existing residents and certain travelers.
