For the relief of Felipe Diosdado.
HR 2699 is a one-time exception granting permanent residency to a specific individual, Felipe Diosdado, bypassing standard immigration requirements. The bill waives grounds for removal or denial of admission based on his existing records, allows him to apply for permanent residency within two years of enactment, and requires the State Department to reduce one immigrant visa slot for his country of origin. It also explicitly denies preferential immigration treatment to his parents, siblings, and brothers under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This is a procedural bill affecting only Felipe Diosdado, not a general policy change.
