What this bill would do
H.R. 5991 is a bill designed to provide permanent resident status for Ingrid Encalada Latorre. It makes her eligible for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status regardless of certain sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill prevents her removal from the United States based on existing government records. It requires her to apply and pay fees within two years of the Act's enactment. If granted, the total number of immigrant visas available to natives of her birth country will be reduced by one.
