The amendments proposed by Senators Lee and Scott are in Sections 8 and 9 of the
bill.

Section 8, Limit On Adjustment Of Status From H–1B Nonimmigrant Or H–4 Nonimmi
grant To EB Immigrant, places a cap on the number of individuals who held H-1B n
onimmigrant status or is the H-4 dependent of such H-1B nonimmigrant in the past
two years who can adjust status to permanent residence or be granted an immigra
nt visa to 50 percent of the total number of employment-based immigrants admitte
d in a fiscal year. It excepts medical professionals and individuals granted nat
ional interest waivers from this cap. The section allows for a transition provis
ion that caps the total at 70 percent in the first 9 fiscal years following enac
tment of the bill. The provision also allows for unused employment-based immigra
nt visas to be used by these H-1B and H-4 nonimmigrants.

Section 9, Prohibition On Admission Or Adjustment Of Status Of Aliens Affiliated
With The Military Forces Of The People’s Republic Of China Or The Chinese Comm
unist Party, prohibits of the adjustment of status of any individual who is “af
filiated with the military forces of the People’s Republic of China or the Chin
ese Communist Party”.

These changes are in addition to those amendments previously introduced by Senat
or Grassley on H-1B visas, Senator Perdue creating a set aside for Schedule A he
alth care professionals and their family members, and Senator Durbin’s amendmen
ts which include a delayed effective date of the bill, transition periods for EB
-2 and EB-3 immigrants, early adjustment filing provisions, and an age out prote
ction for children.

AILA的分析:
It is important to note that this bill cannot become law until it is agreed to b
y the House and then the President would have to sign the bill into law. The Sen
ate bill is significantly different than the bill that was passed in the House i
n July 2019, H.R. 1044: Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019. As suc
h, there will need to be negotiations between the House and Senate to come to an
agreement on a final version before it is sent to the President. Moreover, if t
his is not passed by the end of this Congressional session which is likely to en
d on December 18, 2020, the bill will need to be reintroduced in the new Congres
s. Given the number of priorities that the new Congress will be facing, includin
g appropriations, COVID-19 relief, as well as other important immigration issues
, it is unclear how the passage of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act
will be prioritized.
