This bill provides for the relief of Maria Merida de Macario, granting her eligibility 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 despite general immigration quotas. If she is in the United States, she will be considered to have entered and remained lawfully for the purpose of adjusting her status as of the date of enactment. The legislation further mandates the waiver of any grounds for her removal or denial of admission reflected in government records, and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind any outstanding order of removal or deportation against her. To benefit from these provisions, Maria Merida de Macario must file her application with appropriate fees within two years of the bill's enactment. Upon the granting of her permanent residence, the total number of immigrant visas available to natives of her birth country will be reduced by one. Additionally, her natural parents, brothers, and sisters will not be accorded any special immigration rights or privileges solely due to their relationship with her.
