Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new nonimmigrant visa category (W visa) for foreign nationals who possess critical information about or have cooperated in the investigation or prosecution of serious crimes, including human trafficking, sexual abuse, and labor exploitation. Eligible witnesses and their immediate family members may obtain temporary status for up to four years, with employment authorization and access to support services. After three years of continuous physical presence, W visa holders may adjust to permanent resident status if law enforcement determines their continued presence serves law enforcement, humanitarian, or public interest purposes.
