Bill Summary
A BILL For the relief of Juana Maria Flores.
AI Summary
This bill provides a special immigration relief for Juana Maria Flores by granting her a path to permanent residency in the United States, despite potential immigration obstacles. Specifically, the bill allows Flores to be eligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident, even if she would normally be ineligible under standard immigration rules. The bill waives any grounds for removal or denial of admission that might be in her existing records with the Department of Homeland Security or the State Department's Visa Office. If she enters the United States within two years of the act's enactment and files the appropriate application with required fees, she will be considered to have entered lawfully. The bill also instructs the Secretary of State to reduce the total number of immigrant visas available to people from her country of birth by one to offset her admission. Importantly, the bill explicitly states that her natural parents, brothers, and sisters will not receive any preferential immigration treatment based on their relationship to her. This appears to be a private bill providing individualized immigration relief for a specific person, which is an uncommon but occasionally used legislative mechanism.
