Introduced
Summary
Grants Dr. Yue-Cheng Yang eligibility for an immigrant visa and adjustment to permanent resident status by overriding certain Immigration and Nationality Act limits. The bill would waive removal and inadmissibility grounds reflected in Department of Homeland Security or State Visa Office records and require the Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind any related removal or deportation orders. It treats an entry before the filing deadline as lawful for adjustment purposes, requires an application with appropriate fees within two years, and instructs the State Department to reduce his birth country's immigrant-visa allotment by one.

Green card relief for Dr. Yang
This bill would let Dr. Yue‑Cheng Yang get an immigrant visa or apply to adjust to lawful permanent resident status even if numerical limits would otherwise block him. He would need to file an immigrant visa petition under INA section 204 or an adjustment application under INA section 245 with required fees within two years after enactment. If Dr. Yang enters the United States before that filing deadline, he would be treated as having entered and remained lawfully and, if eligible, could adjust status as of the date of enactment. DHS would have to rescind any removal or inadmissibility orders on his records based on grounds shown in DHS or Visa Office records on the enactment date. If he receives a visa or green card, the State Department would reduce by one the immigrant visas available to natives of his country in the current or next fiscal year.
