美国主教力促《宗教工作者保护法》延长宗教工作者的签证。 US bishops push for Religious Workforce Protection Act to extend visas for religious workers.

美国天主教主教会议正在倡导《宗教工作者保护法》,其目的是解决与R-1宗教工作者签证方案有关的问题。 The US Conference of Catholic Bishops is advocating for the Religious Workforce Protection Act, which aims to solve issues with the R-1 religious worker visa program. 该法案将允许国土安全部将宗教工作者的临时签证延长五年以上,同时等待对其永久居留申请的决定,以解决最近签证规则变动造成的积压问题。 The bill would let the Department of Homeland Security extend temporary visas for religious workers beyond five years while they wait for decisions on their permanent residency applications, addressing a backlog caused by recent visa rule changes. 拟议的立法获得了不同信仰的各种宗教领袖的支持。 The proposed legislation has garnered support from various religious leaders across different faiths.
