According to this article on The Iowa Torch, by Iowa Torch
“WASHINGTON – On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, introduced the Preserving Employment Visas Act. This legislation would allow the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to preserve unused employment-based visas for use in Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21).
This legislation is the House companion to S. 2828, introduced by Senator Thom Tillis, R-NC, in September.
“Ensuring that our immigration system is fair and orderly is one of my top priorities in Congress. These visas are already authorized by Congress and would have been used if not for the COVID-19 pandemic,” Miller-Meeks said in a released statement. “My legislation would fuel the American recovery from COVID-19, contribute to long-term economic growth, and provide relief for healthcare providers by reducing the green card backlog. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I look forward to working with USCIS to make sure that our immigration system works for everyone.””
