A bill for the relief of Valent Kolami.

Summary

Allows Valent Kolami to apply for an immigrant visa or to adjust to lawful permanent resident status without being blocked by usual numerical limits or petition restrictions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, provided an application with required fees is filed within two years of enactment. If Kolami entered the U.S. before the filing deadline, the bill treats that entry as lawful and makes him eligible for adjustment of status as of the date of enactment. The bill includes a PAYGO instruction directing budget effect determinations to a statement from the Senate Budget Committee chair.

• Grants a named individual, Valent Kolami, eligibility to seek an immigrant visa or adjustment of status despite statutory numerical and petition limits.
• Treats Kolami’s prior U.S. entry as lawful for adjustment purposes if entry occurred before the filing deadline.
• Requires Kolami to file the visa or adjustment application, with fees, within two years of enactment to receive the benefit.
• Does not change immigration law generally or create a new category of relief for others.
• Contains a PAYGO instruction referencing a budget statement from the Senate Budget Committee chair.
• Relief is administrative and limited in scope; it directs USCIS/State Department to process a particular case.
• No new appropriations or ongoing program authorizations are created by the text.
• Potentially sets a precedent for congressional private relief but applies only to one named person.
