This section exempts from the annual numerical cap on H-1B nonimmigrant visas (i.e., for specialty occupations, generally capped at 65,000 plus 20,000 for certain U.S. advanced degree holders) nonimmigrants employed by, or offered employment by, the Department of Veterans Affairs or a State home (as defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(19)) recognized and certified by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, effective six months after enactment. It further renders inapplicable to such nonimmigrants the Presidential Proclamation entitled “Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers,” dated September 19, 2025, or any substantially similar restriction on H-1B admissions implemented via executive order or proclamation.
