For the relief of Blanca Martinez.

United States119th CongressHR-5418House of Representatives
Updated: Sep 16, 2025

Summary

This bill provides for the relief of Blanca Martinez by making her eligible for lawful permanent resident status in the United States. It explicitly waives certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act, allowing her to apply for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status. Furthermore, it overrides sections 212(a) and 237(a) of the Act, ensuring she cannot be removed, denied admission, or deemed ineligible for permanent residence due to any grounds recorded by the Department of Homeland Security or the Visa Office. The bill mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind any outstanding order of removal or deportation against Blanca Martinez. To benefit from these provisions, she must file an application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, along with appropriate fees, within two years of the bill's enactment. Upon granting her permanent residence, one immigrant visa number will be reduced from her country of birth's allocation, and her natural parents, brothers, and sisters will not receive any preferential immigration treatment based on her status.
