Equal Access to Green cards for Legal Employment Act of 2022 or the EAGLE Act of 2022 This bill modifies requirements related to employment-based visas and addresses related issues. The bill increases the per-country cap on family-based immigrant visas from 7% of the total number of such visas available that year to 15% and eliminates the per-country cap for employment-based immigrant visas. The bill establishes transition rules for employment-based visas such as (1) reserving a percentage of EB-2 (workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability) and EB-3 (skilled and other workers) visas for individuals not from the two countries with the largest number of recipients of such visas, and (2) allotting a number of visas for professional nurses and physical therapists. The bill imposes additional requirements on an employer seeking an H-1B visa, such as prohibiting (1) an employer from advertising that a position is only open to H-1B applicants or that H-1B applicants are preferred, and (2) certain employers from having more than half of their employees as nonimmigrant visa workers. The Department of Labor shall create a publicly available website where an employer seeking an H-1B visa must post certain information about the open position. The bill also expands Labor's authority to review and investigate H-1B applications for fraud or misrepresentations. The bill also allows certain aliens to obtain lawful permanent resident status if the alien (1) is in the United States as a nonimmigrant, (2) has an approved immigrant visa petition, and (3) has waited at least two years for a visa.

Sinema / Tillis DACA proposal (not introduced) This proposal sought to create a new, Title 42 like, asylum ban expulsion law that would deny access to the US asylum system in violation of our US laws and international treaty obligations. Executive Branch HP processing improvements and new HP programs: Encouraged the State Department to improve humanitarian parole process, including adjudication, increased funding for legal services, and ensuring that USCIS adjudicators receive special training. Given the high rates of denial for humanitarian parole, the administration must do better to help those outside USRAP and other special immigrant processes. Title 42: Encouraged the administration to commence rulemaking to terminate Title 42 and to release a plan for post-Title 42 operations. Asylum Processing Rule: Encouraged the administration to increase outreach to congress regarding their asylum processing rule.

The Equal Access to Green cards for Legal Employment Act (EAGLE Act) would phase out the country cap limitations on the number of green cards available to high-skilled workers from a particular country. Under current policy, only 7% of green cards can be issued in a year to nationals from a given country, regardless of its population. The EAGLE Act (H.R. 3648) would also strengthen the H-1B temporary program and allow individuals who have been in the queue for a green card for two years to file an application with approval pending the availability of a visa. U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 (HR 1177) (Would make sweeping change to the United States immigration, visa, and border control system, including reversal and Congressional prohibition of many of the immigration-related executive actions of the previous administration; providing a path to legal residence for current DACA dreamers and others, essential workers in non-immigrant status, ending country-specific visa annual limits; granting immediate relative status to spouses and children of green card holders; and including other green card changes to recapture visas and exempt STEM degrees) U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship (Modernize the Nonimmigrant and Immigrant Employment-Based System with E-Filing. As a first step to green card reform, eliminate the employment-based per country green card limits to create a first-come first-served green card system.
