Summary

This bill exempts H-1B health care workers from a restriction that requires a $100,000 payment for entry into the United States under a specific Presidential Proclamation. It also prohibits imposing any additional fees on these workers beyond the standard fee set in immigration law. Sec. 2, Exemption from additional fee for H-1B health care workers: The restriction on entry for H-1B nonimmigrant workers that requires a $100,000 payment does not apply to any alien employed or offered employment in the health care workforce, as defined by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. No fee may be imposed on such an alien that exceeds the fee specified in section 214(c)(9)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
