Sponsored By: Representative Van Drew
Introduced
Summary
Makes Luana S. Cordeiro eligible for lawful permanent residence. The bill would let her apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status and treat an earlier U.S. entry as lawful if she files within two years. It would bar removal or denial based on any grounds shown in Department of Homeland Security or State Department records on enactment and require rescinding any outstanding removal or inadmissibility orders against her. If she receives a visa or green card, the State Department must subtract one immigrant visa from her birth country's annual cap. Her natural parents, brothers, and sisters would not get any immigration preference from this change. The bill also directs that its budget effects be handled under PAYGO rules.

Green card relief for Luana Cordeiro
If enacted, Luana S. Cordeiro would be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa or a green card. She would need to file and pay the fees within 2 years after enactment. If she enters the U.S. before that deadline, she would be treated as having entered and stayed lawfully. If otherwise eligible, she could adjust status as of the enactment date. DHS would have to cancel any removal orders or inadmissibility findings based on grounds already in DHS or State records on the enactment date. She could not be removed or denied admission on those recorded grounds.
No immigration benefits for Luana's relatives
If enacted, Luana’s natural parents, brothers, and sisters would not gain any immigration rights because of her status. They could not claim visas or status based only on being related to her.
One visa cut from birth country
If enacted and Luana gets a visa or green card, the State Department would cut her birth country’s visa total by one. That one-visa cut would happen in the current or next fiscal year.
