Welcoming International Success Act
This bill, titled the Welcoming International Success Act, would nullify a 2025 executive proclamation that restricted entry for certain nonimmigrant workers. It directly affects foreign workers holding H-1B visas and other nonimmigrant categories who were previously subject to the entry restrictions. The key provision states that the proclamation will have no legal force and prohibits the use of federal funds to implement it. This legislation would effectively remove the barriers established by the earlier proclamation, allowing the affected workers to enter the United States under normal immigration procedures.
