Lets Roberto Carlos Lopez become a permanent U.S. resident

This bill helps Roberto Carlos Lopez become a permanent U.S. resident. It would resolve his past immigration problems and cancel any orders for him to leave the country. But his close family members would not get special immigration status through him.

What Would Change

Today, Roberto Carlos Lopez is not eligible for lawful permanent resident status and may face removal from the U.S. If this bill becomes law, he would become eligible for a green card. This means past immigration issues would be waived, and any existing removal orders against him would be canceled. However, he must apply within two years and pay the required fees.
