This bill makes certain Russian nationals with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) eligible to become permanent residents of the United States.

Under the bill, special immigrant status may be given to Russian nationals (and their spouse and children) who have a U.S. doctoral degree or a foreign equivalent in a STEM field and are seeking work in a STEM field in the United States. Candidates must satisfy vetting and interview requirements set by the Department of Homeland Security.

Up to 3,000 individuals may be admitted under this bill each fiscal year FY2026 through FY2029. Individuals admitted under this bill do not count towards other statutory numerical limitations for immigration.
