Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on the Budget, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill is for one person, Diego Montoya Bedoya. It allows him to apply for a U.S. green card. It also says he cannot be removed or kept out of the country based on issues already in government records on the day the bill becomes law, and any past removal or deportation orders against him must be canceled. If he is already in the U.S. before the deadline, he will be treated as having entered and stayed lawfully for the purpose of getting permanent residence.
He must file his application and pay the required fees within two years after the bill becomes law. After his green card is granted, the State Department will reduce the total number of visas for people from his birth country by one, either in the current or next fiscal year. This bill does not give immigration benefits to his parents, brothers, or sisters.
