H.R. 10990: For the relief of Paula Valentina Albornoz Hernández, Eliana Karina Hernández Peranquive, Nicole Alejandra Albornoz Hernández, and Leonardo Albornoz Rodríguez.

This bill would grant special immigration relief to four named individuals: Paula Valentina Albornoz Hernández, Eliana Karina Hernández Peranquive, Nicole Alejandra Albornoz Hernández, and Leonardo Albornoz Rodríguez.

What it would do

• Allows each of the four people to apply for an immigrant visa or for adjustment to lawful permanent resident status, even if normal immigration limits would otherwise prevent it.
• If any of them are already in the United States when the bill takes effect, they would be treated as having entered and remained in the country lawfully for purposes of applying for permanent residence, if they otherwise qualify.
• Blocks their removal from the United States and prevents denial of admission or permanent residence based on immigration grounds that are already in the government’s records at the time the bill is enacted.
• Requires the Department of Homeland Security to cancel any existing removal, deportation, inadmissibility, or deportability order against them that is based on those grounds.
• Requires them to file the required application and pay the fees within 2 years of enactment for the main benefits to apply.
• Directs the State Department to reduce the number of immigrant visas available for people from their country of birth by 4, either in the current fiscal year or the next one, to offset these grants.
• States that their parents and siblings would not receive any immigration benefit just because of their relationship to them.
