What this bill would do
This bill is for the relief of Sindy Gualdina Rodriguez-Fernandez. It makes her eligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident. If she enters the United States before the specified deadline, she will be considered to have entered and remained lawfully. The bill prevents her from being removed or denied admission based on grounds found in Department of Homeland Security or Department of State records. It also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind any outstanding removal or deportation orders against her. Finally, the bill mandates a reduction in the total number of immigrant visas available to natives of her country of birth once her status is granted.
