AI Summary

Recaptures up to 40,000 unused employment-based immigrant visas from fiscal years 1992–2024 and reserves them for professional nurses (25,000) and physicians (15,000). Requires expedited, premium-style processing of these petitions by USCIS (with no premium fee charged) and obligates petitioners for the reserved nurse visas to attest that hiring the immigrant will not displace a U.S. worker. Availability and filings are subject to normal numerical and procedural limits.
