This bill provides a special immigration relief for Godfrey Oliver Wade by allowing him to apply for an immigrant visa or adjust his status to lawful permanent resident (green card holder) regardless of certain usual immigration restrictions. It waives grounds for removal or denial of admission that might otherwise apply to him based on existing Department of Homeland Security or State Department records. If he enters the U.S. before a specified deadline, he will be considered to have entered lawfully and can adjust his status accordingly. The bill also requires that any outstanding removal or deportation orders against him be rescinded. To benefit from this relief, Wade must file his application and pay the required fees within two years of the bill’s enactment. Additionally, the bill reduces the number of immigrant visas available to natives of his birth country by one to offset his visa issuance. Importantly, this relief does not extend immigration benefits to his immediate family members such as parents, siblings, or children. This bill is a private relief measure focused solely on one individual, providing him a pathway to permanent residency that bypasses some standard immigration barriers.
