The promise was to work to codify the H-1B visa fee increase through the PROTECT Act, not necessarily to complete enactment. The evidence shows Kennedy introduced the PROTECT legislation in his current House term and publicly described it as the vehicle to make the fee increase permanent. That constitutes direct, material action on the specific promise, so the effort promised was delivered even though the bill had not yet become law.
