Bill H.786, introduced by Representative Greer of Bennington, aims to mandate the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to conduct remote meetings and hearings for Vermont residents who are seeking U.S. citizenship or visa authorization. This provision is intended to enhance accessibility for individuals navigating the immigration process, allowing them to engage with the Department without the need for in-person attendance.

The bill emphasizes the importance of accommodating the needs of Vermont residents by ensuring that they can request these remote meetings and hearings as necessary. This initiative reflects a commitment to improving the immigration experience for residents and streamlining communication with federal authorities.
