HR 10149 United States House · 119th Congress

For the relief of Maria Cordova.

This bill grants Maria Cordova eligibility for a U.S. immigrant visa or adjustment to lawful permanent resident status, bypassing standard immigration restrictions that might otherwise apply to her. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to cancel any existing orders for her removal or deportation and protects her from future removal based on grounds recorded in government files at the time the law is passed. To receive this benefit, she must file her application and pay required fees within two years of the bill's enactment. The legislation also ensures that granting her status does not increase the total number of visas available to natives of her birth country and explicitly denies her natural parents, brothers, and sisters any immigration privileges based solely on their relationship to her.
