To provide for immigration relief in the case of certain immigrants who are innocent victims of immigration fraud.
Summary
H.R. 936 is a bill designed to provide legal relief to a specific group of immigrants who were victims of a bribery and fraud scheme involving an immigration broker and a government official in San Jose, California. The legislation would restore lawful permanent resident status to individuals who were unaware that their original applications had been processed through fraudulent means, provided they were South Korean nationals who applied for status before 1999.
For the individuals affected, this bill would stop deportation proceedings and allow those who were already removed from the country to return to the United States to reclaim their legal standing. By preventing the past fraud from being used against them, the bill aims to protect families who acted in good faith but were unknowingly caught up in criminal activity conducted by others.
