To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who were present in certain countries may not be admitted under the visa waiver program, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill would tighten security for the U.S. Visa Waiver Program by restricting who can enter the United States without a visa. Under this proposal, individuals who have traveled to certain countries—including those designated as state sponsors of terrorism or specific nations like Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan—within the previous five years would no longer be eligible for a visa waiver. Instead, these travelers would be required to undergo a formal visa interview and screening process at a U.S. embassy or consulate before being allowed to enter the country.
