june 27 , 1952
on june 27, 1952, congress passed the immigration and nationality act after overriding a veto by president harry s. truman. for the first time, the immigration and nationality act codified united states' immigration, naturalization, and nationality law into permanent statutes, and it introduced a system of selective immigration by giving special preference to foreigners possessing skills that are urgently needed by the country. several different types of visas were established, including a h-1 visa for "an alien having a residence in a foreign country which he has no intention of abandoning who is of distinguished merit and ability and who is coming temporarily to the united states to perform temporary services of an exceptional nature requiring such merit and ability." the term "distinguished merit and ability" was not new to united states immigration law; it had previously been used as a qualification for musicians and artists who had wanted to enter the united states. the visa was called an h-1 visa because it had been made into law by section 101(15)(h)(1) of the immigration and nationality act.
