For the relief of Blanca Martinez.
This bill grants permanent residency (lawful permanent resident status) to Blanca Martinez, a specific individual, by waiving standard immigration requirements. It allows her to apply for a green card without meeting typical eligibility criteria, including grounds for removal or denial of admission that existed in her records before the bill's enactment. To qualify, she must file her application within two years of the bill's passage, and the bill requires a reduction in immigrant visa numbers for her country of origin to offset her granted status. The bill also explicitly denies her relatives any preferential immigration benefits based on their relationship to her.
