        described in subsection (b) shall be adjusted by the Attorney 
        General to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
        residence, if the alien--
                    (A) applies for such adjustment; and
                    (B) is otherwise eligible to receive an immigrant 
                visa and is otherwise admissible to the United States 
                for permanent residence, except in determining such 
                admissibility the grounds for inadmissibility specified

                212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall not 
                apply.
            (2) Relationship of application to certain orders.--An

        from the United States under any provision of the Immigration 
        and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for

        be required, as a condition on submitting or granting such 
        application, to file a motion to reopen, reconsider, or vacate 
        such order. If the Attorney General grants the application, the 
        Attorney General shall cancel the order. If the Attorney 
        General renders a final administrative decision to deny the 
        application, the order shall be effective and enforceable to 
        the same extent as if the application had not been made.
    (b) Aliens Eligible for Adjustment of Status.--The benefits

        or removal or exclusion to seek a stay of such order based on 
        the filing of an application under subsection (a).
            (2) During certain proceedings.--Notwithstanding any 
        provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney 
        General shall not order any alien to be removed from the United 
        States, if the alien is in exclusion, deportation, or removal 
        proceedings under any provision of such Act and raises as a 
        defense to such an order the eligibility of the alien to apply 
        for adjustment of status under subsection (a), except where the 
        Attorney General has rendered a final administrative 
        determination to deny the application.
    (d) Availability of Administrative Review.--The Attorney General

(a) the same right to, and procedures for, administrative review as are

held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, effect, or restrict the powers, 
duties, functions, or authority of the Attorney General in the 
administration and enforcement of such Act or any other law relating to 
immigration, nationality, or naturalization. The fact that an alien may 
be eligible to be granted the status of having been lawfully admitted 
for permanent residence under this section shall not preclude the alien 
from seeking such status under any other provision of law for which the 
alien may be eligible.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Reporting on Influence and 
Subversion by the Kremlin Act'' or ``RISK Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1986, an interagency working group issued a report 
        assessing ``active measures'' by the former Soviet Union 
        against the United States.
            (2) The working group concluded that ``there is a massive 
        and highly organized effort by the Soviet Union and its proxies 
        to influence world opinion''.
            (3) The working group further observed that ``this effort 
        includes public diplomacy to enhance the Soviet image abroad 
        and . . . also includes a persistent, widespread program of 
        disinformation and deception designed to discredit the U.S. 
        image abroad and disrupt U.S. policy objectives.''.
            (4) Active measures by the Russian Federation have shown no 
        diminution since the last report issued by the working group in 
        1987, including--
                    (A) to influence world opinion;
                    (B) to undercut democratic processes and 
                institutions in the United States and partner nations;
                    (C) to challenge the international liberal order; 
                and
                    (D) to establish an unfettered sphere of influence.
            (5) The Director of National Intelligence concluded in 
        light of the Russian Federation's hacking of the 2016 
        presidential election that ``Russian efforts to influence the 
        2016 U.S. presidential election represent the most recent 
        expression of Moscow's longstanding desire to undermine the 
        U.S.-led liberal democratic order.''.
            (6) The Russian Federation is deploying an array of 
        military, cyber, intelligence, and economic tactics to weaken 
        United States democratic institutions, divide Europe from the 
        United States, divide Europe from within, undermine 
        organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        and the European Union, and coerce partners to cooperate with 
        Russia.
            (7) Militarily, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered 
        the forcible and illegal occupation of Crimea in March 2014 and 
        the invasion of Georgia in 2008.
            (8) The Russian military, in which President Putin has 
        invested heavily, continues to engage in acts of aggression and 
        intimidation against United States allies across Europe.
            (9) The Russian Federation's subversive activities 
        undermine trust in democratic systems, giving rise to political 
        instability.
