H.R. 3896: For the relief of Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio.

This bill is designed to grant permanent resident status to an individual named Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio under specific provisions of U.S. immigration law. Here are the main points of what the bill would do:

Eligibility for Permanent Resident Status

Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio would be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa or for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident. This eligibility would be granted despite certain restrictions in the existing Immigration and Nationality Act.

Adjustment of Status

If she enters the United States before a specified deadline, she would be considered to have legally entered the country and could apply for adjustment of her status to lawful permanent resident as of the date the bill is enacted.

Waiver of Grounds for Removal

The bill states that Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio would not be removed from the U.S., denied entry, or deemed ineligible for lawful permanent residence because of any previous grounds for removal or inadmissibility recorded by the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of State at the time the bill is enacted. This section also includes:

• The Secretary of Homeland Security must rescind any existing orders of removal or deportation against her.

Application Deadline

For the provisions of the bill to take effect, Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio must file her application for either an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, along with any required fees, within two years after the bill becomes law.

Impact on Immigrant Visa Numbers

Once her application for immigrant status is approved, the bill requires that the number of immigrant visas available to others from her home country be reduced by one in the following fiscal year.

Denial of Immigration Benefits for Relatives

Notably, the bill specifies that the natural parents, siblings, and siblings of Luisa Mariana Sifuentes Arbirio are not granted any immigration preferences due to their relationship with her. This means they would not receive any special immigration advantages simply because she becomes a permanent resident.
