Bill > S716

This bill provides permanent residence status in the United States to an individual named Vichai Sae Tung (also known as Chai Chaowasaree), granting him lawful permanent resident status as of the date of the Act's enactment, contingent upon payment of the required visa fees. The bill specifically instructs the Secretary of State to reduce the total number of available immigrant visas by one for natives of Sae Tung's country of birth, which is a standard procedural requirement for private immigration relief bills that provide permanent residency to a specific individual. This type of legislation is sometimes referred to as a "private bill" and is used to help individuals who may not qualify for permanent residence through standard immigration channels but have unique circumstances that merit special congressional consideration. The bill modifies the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a specific exemption for Vichai Sae Tung, effectively creating a path to legal permanent residency that bypasses typical immigration processes.
