Posts - Bill - HR 1837 Timely Departure Act
house 03/04/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing the Timely Departure Act to ensure that nonimmigrant visitors to the U.S. adhere to their visa terms by requiring them to post a bond, which would be forfeited if they overstay. This measure seeks to enhance compliance and provide funding for immigration enforcement without affecting those participating in the visa waiver program.

A bond for nonimmigrants? Might work, but who's holding accountable for the funds?
