Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act
Great Seal of the United States
Long titleAn Act to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, to raise the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants, and for other purposes

The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act or 'Equal Access to Green cards for Legal Employment Act or Immigration Visa Efficiency and Security Act is proposed United States federal legislation that would reform U.S. immigration policy, primarily by removing per-country limitations on employment-based visas, increasing the per-country numerical limitation for family-sponsored immigrants, and for other purposes without increasing the number of visa. In 2020, for the first time it passed by House and Senate; however, the House and Senate versions were different and required reconciliation, and that reconciliation could not be carried out before the expiration of the 116th Congress. In order for the proposed legislation to further progress, it would have to be reintroduced into the 117th Congress and pass the House and Senate again. After the expiration of the 117th congress, the legislation is currently reintroduced into the 118th Congress.
