HR 1445 United States House · 119th Congress

For the relief of Ruslana Melnyk and Mykhaylo Gnatyuk.

This bill grants permanent resident status (green card) to two specific individuals, Ruslana Melnyk and Mykhaylo Gnatyuk, bypassing standard immigration rules. It allows them to apply for permanent residency within two years of the bill's enactment, with their status backdated to the bill's passage date if they enter before the deadline. The bill also requires a reduction of two immigrant visas in their countries of origin (Ukraine, based on the names) for the current or next fiscal year to offset the granted status. Additionally, it bars their natural parents, siblings, and brothers from receiving any immigration benefits based on their relationship to these individuals. This is a targeted legislative act for two named people, not a broader policy change.
