What this bill would do

This bill is intended for the relief of Miguel Lopez Luvian. It seeks to grant him naturalization as a citizen of the United States. The legislation states that he shall be considered a naturalized citizen as of the date the Act is enacted. Additionally, the Attorney General is tasked with providing him a certificate of naturalization. This comes after findings regarding his long-term residency and previous deportation.
