For the relief of Blanca Martinez.
This introduced House bill, "For the relief of Blanca Martinez" (H.R. 5418), would grant Blanca Martinez permanent resident status in the United States through a special, targeted set of provisions. It overrides standard immigration rules to allow her to obtain an immigrant visa or adjust status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR) upon filing the required application, and it provides a waiver of grounds for removal or denial of admission based on records existing on the enactment date. The bill also instructs the relevant agencies to rescind any outstanding removal order or inadmissibility finding against her and sets a two-year deadline to file the necessary applications and pay fees. In addition, it would reduce, by one visa, the total immigrant visa allotment allocated to natives of Blanca Martinez’s country of birth once she is granted LPR status, and it denies any preferential immigration benefits for Blanca’s natural parents, siblings, or other relatives by virtue of their relation. In short, the bill would fast-track Blanca Martinez to permanent residence despite usual eligibility constraints, while imposing a one-time visa quota reduction for her country of birth and limiting benefits for her relatives. It effectively moves her to the front of the immigration line, subject to specific timing, fee, and quota conditions.
