An alien applying for relief under this bill shall: (1) register under the Military Selective Service Act if so required, (2) undergo a medical examination, (3) submit biometric and biographic data, and (4) complete security and law enforcement background checks. DHS shall under specified circumstances terminate or extend the conditional nonimmigrant status of an alien who is at least 18 years old.
