H.R. 10720 is a private relief bill that would grant Godfrey Oliver Wade permanent resident status in the United States, overriding standard immigration law restrictions. The bill allows Wade to apply for an immigrant visa or adjust his status to lawful permanent resident and specifies that he must file his application within two years of the bill's enactment. The legislation also waives any grounds for removal or denial of admission that exist in immigration records as of the bill's passage date, and requires the Department of Homeland Security to rescind any outstanding removal orders against him. As an offset, the bill reduces by one the total number of immigrant visas available to nationals of Wade's birth country during the current or following fiscal year, and prevents Wade's relatives from receiving preferential immigration treatment based on their family relationship to him.
