Summary
What This Bill Does
This is a private relief bill that grants U.S. permanent resident status (a green card) to one specific person: Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio. The bill bypasses normal immigration laws, including quotas and any grounds that would typically make someone inadmissible or deportable. It requires federal agencies to treat her prior entry and presence in the U.S. as lawful and to cancel any existing removal or deportation orders against her.
Who Benefits and How
The primary beneficiary is Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio herself, who receives permanent residence despite any immigration violations or inadmissibility grounds currently on her record. This is an extraordinary benefit that removes all legal barriers to her obtaining a green card, which normally would disqualify most applicants.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Department of Homeland Security and Department of State must process this special case and rescind any removal orders, creating additional administrative work. One immigrant from Luisa's country of birth will lose their visa slot, as the bill requires reducing that country's annual visa quota by one to offset her grant of status. Additionally, her parents, brothers, and sisters are explicitly barred from receiving any immigration benefits based on her new status—a provision that prevents them from using family reunification laws that would normally allow green card holders to petition for relatives.
Key Provisions
- Waives all existing grounds of inadmissibility and deportability on record for Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio
- Treats her entry and presence in the United States as lawful retroactively
- Requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to cancel any removal or deportation orders against her
- Sets a 2-year deadline from the bill's enactment for her to file the visa or green card application
- Reduces by one the total immigrant visas available to people from her country of birth in the current or next fiscal year
- Explicitly prohibits her parents, brothers, and sisters from receiving any immigration rights or privileges based on her relationship to them
