More U.S. citizens may reunite with overseas family members if Congress passes the Reuniting Families Act in a bill introduced on May 20 by Sen. Robert Menendez (D–N.J.), Sen. Kirsten Gilibrand (D–N.Y.), Sen. Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.), and Sen. Edward Kennedy (D–Mass.).
If the bill passes, it will reduce the family visa backlog of more than 4 million, which keeps more than 20,000 immigrants from getting visas each year. Without a visa, an immigrant is not allowed to visit the United States.
