Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Green card relief for Diego Montoya Bedoya
This bill would let Diego Montoya Bedoya apply for an immigrant visa or a green card. He would have 2 years after enactment to file and pay the fees. If he is in the United States before that deadline, his entry and stay would count as lawful. If he meets other rules, he could adjust status as of the bill’s enactment date. It would also block removal or denial based on grounds already in DHS or State records on enactment. DHS would have to cancel any removal orders and related inadmissibility or deportability findings tied to those grounds.
No immigration benefits for relatives
This bill would not give Diego Montoya Bedoya’s natural parents, brothers, or sisters any immigration rights through him. They would get no special status just because they are related to him.
One fewer visa for birth country
If he receives an immigrant visa or green card, the State Department would cut one visa from his birth country. The cut would occur in the current or next fiscal year after his approval.
