To For the relief of Luana S. Cordeiro.

House Votes

This bill gives individual relief to Luana S. Cordeiro. It lets her apply for and receive a U.S. green card, even if normal limits would otherwise prevent it. If she is in the U.S. before the deadline, her presence would be treated as lawful, and she could apply to become a permanent resident as of the bill’s enactment date. Any existing reasons in government records that would normally block her from entering, staying, or getting a green card would not apply, and any past removal or deportation orders would be canceled.

• Who is affected: Only Luana S. Cordeiro; her parents and siblings get no immigration benefits from this bill.
• What changes: She may receive an immigrant visa or adjust status to permanent resident; certain past immigration barriers are waived; any prior removal orders are rescinded; one visa number is subtracted from her country’s annual limit to balance the system.
• When: She must file her application and pay the required fees within two years after the bill becomes law.
