Evidence log
- 2026-07-30 — Exchange Visitor Program-Termination of Program Participation, Extension of Program and Reinstatement to Valid Program Status: Proposed rule would rescind the separate au pair extension-of-program provision, folding au pair extensions under the general J-visa extension framework governed by current SEVIS functionality. (novelty: 2)
- 2026-06-09 — Careworker Visa Act of 2026: cross-connection with careworker-visa-act-2026: Both touch on foreign-national caregiving labor; a dedicated careworker visa could reshape reliance on the J-1 au pair channel for in-home care. (novelty: 3)
