Contact Congress about H.R. 1348: Venezuelan Adjustment Act

HR 1348 creates a three-year window for Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. by December 31, 2021 to apply for green cards. Family members can apply too. Applicants get work permits and deportation protection while their cases are reviewed.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Venezuelan Adjustment Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Latest action on H.R. 1348: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill directly affects Venezuelan nationals living in the U.S. who arrived before 2022, along with their immediate family members. It also affects immigration agencies that must process applications and enforce new rules. The broader immigration system is affected because it creates a separate pathway that does not reduce visa availability for other groups.

Why this matters: Many Venezuelan nationals have lived in the U.S. for years without a permanent legal status. This bill would give them stability, the right to work legally, and a clear future in the country. It also raises broader questions about how the U.S. handles long-term residents from countries in crisis and whether nationality-specific programs are the right approach.

Key provisions in H.R. 1348

  • Applicants must be Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. on or before December 31, 2021, have been physically present for at least one year, and cannot have been absent for more than 180 days total.
  • Spouses, children, and unmarried sons or daughters of eligible Venezuelan nationals can also apply for adjustment.
  • Applications must be filed within three years after the bill becomes law.
  • Some usual immigration barriers (documentation, labor certification, certain misrepresentation issues) are waived, but other grounds for denial still apply.
  • People convicted of an aggravated felony, two or more crimes involving moral turpitude (with a narrow exception), or those who took part in persecuting others are barred from the program.
