Bill “To recapture employment-based immigrant visas…” (H.R. 5882)
Core Provisions: This untitled bill seeks to recapture approximately 210,000 employment-based immigrant visas (H-1B visas) that went unused between fiscal year 1992 and fiscal year 2007 due to bureaucratic delays and to prevent losses of family and employment-based immigrant visas in the future by allowing unused visas to roll over to the following fiscal year.
Status: On April 23, 2008, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) introduced H.R. 5882. The bill was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
