(AMIGOS) Act during Portuguese American Heritage Month:“This bipartisan, bicameral bill will help create more American jobs and increase investment across the country” said Rep. Costa. “I’m confident this commonsense legislation will also strengthen the bonds between United States and Portugal and build on the incredible contributions Portuguese-Americans have made in the Valley and throughout the United States.”
The AMIGOS Act will grant Portuguese citizens eligibility for E-1 and E-2 Visas, which allow individuals to enter the United States to conduct “substantial trade” or invest a “substantial amount of capital” respectively.
Congressman Costa represents a large Portuguese American population in California’s San Joaquin Valley and is a Co-Chair of the Congressional Portuguese American Caucus
