Summary
The Heartland Visa Act of 2024 establishes a new visa category (HV-1 and HV-2) for high-skilled foreign workers and their families seeking employment in designated slow-growing or shrinking counties across the United States. Eligible counties must meet population decline criteria and have below-average median home values; participating counties are selected based on labor market size, proximity to other eligible counties, housing affordability, and capacity to absorb skilled immigrants. Visas are allocated quarterly through a wage-based points system that prioritizes younger applicants and those earning higher salaries, with the total population of participating counties capped at 25 million and representation required across all Census regions.
