What this bill would do
This bill is designed to provide permanent resident status to Maria Merida de Macario. It allows her to apply for an immigrant visa or adjust her status to become a lawful permanent resident. The bill waives specific grounds for removal or denial of admission based on government records. It requires her to apply and pay fees within two years of the act's enactment. To account for this, the total number of immigrant visas for her birth country will be reduced by one.
