Bill > HR7339

This bill, for the relief of Dr. Yue-Cheng Yang, allows him to apply for permanent resident status in the United States, even if he might otherwise be ineligible under certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Specifically, it overrides sections of the INA that govern who can receive immigrant visas or adjust their status to become a lawful permanent resident, meaning he can pursue these options by filing the appropriate applications. If Dr. Yang enters the U.S. before a specified deadline, his entry will be considered lawful, and he can seek adjustment of status, which is the process of changing from a non-immigrant status to a permanent resident. The bill also waives any grounds for removal (deportation) or denial of admission that are already documented by the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of State as of the bill's enactment date, and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to cancel any existing removal or deportation orders against him based on those grounds. These provisions are contingent on Dr. Yang filing his applications and paying the required fees within two years of the bill's enactment, and upon him being granted permanent residence, the Secretary of State will reduce the number of available immigrant visas for individuals from Dr. Yang's country of birth by one.
