For the relief of Victoria Galindo Lopez.
HR 187 grants permanent resident status (green card) eligibility to Victoria Galindo Lopez, waiving immigration barriers that would otherwise prevent her from obtaining lawful permanent residence. It rescinds any existing removal orders against her, allows her to adjust status if she enters the U.S. before a specified deadline, and requires her to file an application within two years of the bill's enactment. The bill also mandates reducing the available immigrant visa numbers for her country of birth by one, and denies her relatives any preferential immigration benefits based on their relationship to her. This is a case-specific relief bill affecting only Victoria Galindo Lopez, not a broader policy change.
