This bill would grant permanent resident status (a green card) to Vichai Sae Tung, also known as Chai Chaowasaree, allowing him to live and work permanently in the United States. The individual would need to pay standard visa fees to complete the process. The bill was introduced by Senator Mazie Hirono and Senator Brian Schatz in July 2024 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. To offset this benefit, the bill requires the State Department to reduce by one the total number of immigrant visas available to natives of the applicant's birth country during the current or following fiscal year, maintaining the overall visa allocation. This type of relief bill is a special legislative action that bypasses standard immigration procedures for an individual case.
