Summary

The bill changes the Immigration and Nationality Act so the Secretary of Homeland Security must allow certain relatives of current or former military personnel to enter the U.S. on a one‑year parole. It applies to spouses, widows/widowers, parents and children of active‑duty members, selected reserve members, or veterans discharged honorably. Denials can only occur with a joint written justification from the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, and must be posted publicly without personal data.
