The bill would allow Maria Merida de Macario to apply for an immigrant visa or lawful permanent resident status. It would protect her from removal or denial of admission based on certain grounds recorded by federal agencies when the bill becomes law, and require the Department of Homeland Security to cancel related removal or deportation orders. She must apply and pay the required fees within two years after enactment. If she enters the United States before that deadline, the bill would treat her entry and stay as lawful for purposes of applying for permanent residence, if she otherwise qualifies. If she receives a visa or permanent residence, one immigrant visa would be deducted from the number available to people born in her country. Her natural parents, brothers, and sisters would gain no immigration rights from their relationship to her.
The bill applies specifically to Maria Merida de Macario. It would provide her a path to apply for permanent residence, subject to the bill’s requirements and any other eligibility rules that still apply.
She would need to pay the required application fees. No publicly available information gives the fee amounts or other expenses.
