A bill for the relief of Vichai Sae Tung (also known as Chai Chaowasaree).
This bill grants permanent residence status in the U.S. to Vichai Sae Tung (also known as Chai Chaowasaree), bypassing standard immigration rules. It allows him to be considered lawfully admitted for permanent residence upon paying required visa fees. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to reduce the number of immigrant visas available for his country of birth by one, either in the current or next fiscal year. This is a personal "relief" bill affecting only one individual, not a broad policy change.
