A new immigration bill in US is proposing to scrap the green card lottery and limit family-based visas. It's aim is to shift more focus to a merit-driven system.
The proposed “Americans First Immigration Act” was introduced by Republican Congressman Barry Moore and seeks to overhaul the country’s legal immigration framework by prioritising high-skilled workers and tightening eligibility rules. If passed, the legislation would end the diversity visa lottery programme and restrict family sponsorship to immediate relatives.
