Congress makes the following findings: In 1952, with the enactment of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq. ), Congress established an immigrant visa program to reward foreign nationals who are United States Government employees for their service to the United States (referred to in this Act as the Government Employee Immigrant Visa program ). For 71 years, the Government Employee Immigrant Visa program has allowed foreign nationals with at least 15 years of exceptional service to the United States to immigrate to the United States with their families.
Such foreign national employees of the United States Government are the bulwark of United States foreign policy, risking their lives year after year through civil unrest, terrorism, natural disasters, and war. The work of such foreign nationals— ensures the safety and well-being of United States citizens; provides security and logistics for visiting delegations; and supports United States Government operations abroad. Such foreign nationals include employees of the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Agriculture.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States should preserve the immigrant visa program for foreign nationals who are employees of the United States Government abroad or of the American Institute in Taiwan, and who have provided exceptional service over a long term to the United States, by providing a dedicated allocation of visas for such employees and their immediate family members when visas are not immediately available in the corresponding visa category.
