Temporary Family Visitation Act
S 3440 creates a new temporary visa category specifically for family visits to the United States, affecting relatives of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (including spouses, parents, children, and extended family). The bill requires applicants to provide proof of financial support through a declaration, obtain travel medical insurance covering international care, and confirm they will leave the U.S. after their visit. It limits stays to 90 days per calendar year and prohibits individuals who previously overstayed a family visa from petitioning again, unless they explain extraordinary circumstances. The law also clarifies that these visitors cannot adjust their status to permanent residency while in the U.S.
