This legislative proposal aims to modify the Immigration and Nationality Act by introducing new eligibility criteria for special immigrant visas . Specifically, it mandates that any alien applying for a visa under Section 203(b)(4) must explicitly disavow sharia law as part of their application process. Furthermore, these applicants would be required to take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. These provisions are intended to ensure that individuals granted special immigrant status formally commit to American legal principles and reject any conflicting legal systems. The bill seeks to integrate these new requirements into existing immigration law, thereby altering the process for certain visa applicants.
