This bill would let Sindy Gualdina Rodriguez-Fernandez apply for an immigrant visa or apply to adjust her status to lawful permanent resident even though some normal Immigration and Nationality Act rules would not apply. If she is in the United States before the application deadline, the bill treats her as having entered and remained lawfully and would allow adjustment of status from the date the bill becomes law. The bill says she cannot be removed, denied admission, or found ineligible for permanent residence for any grounds shown in Department of Homeland Security or State Department records on the date the bill becomes law. The Secretary of Homeland Security must rescind any outstanding removal or inadmissibility orders that were based on those grounds. Applications must be filed with appropriate fees within two years after the bill is enacted. If she receives an immigrant visa or permanent residence, the Secretary of State must reduce the number of immigrant visas available to natives of her birth country by one. Her natural parents, brothers, and sisters would not receive any immigration preference because of their relationship to her.
