For the relief of Victoria Galindo Lopez.
HR 616 grants permanent resident status (green card) to Victoria Galindo Lopez by overriding standard immigration rules. It waives grounds for removal or denial of admission based on her existing DHS/State Department records, rescinds any prior removal orders against her, and allows her to adjust status if she applies within two years of the law's enactment. The bill requires the State Department to reduce the annual visa quota for Lopez's country of birth by one visa to offset this specific grant. This is a personal relief bill affecting only Victoria Galindo Lopez, not a general policy change.
