SEC. 2. ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS OF CERTAIN LIBERIAN NATIONALS.

(a) Adjustment of Status.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding section 245(c) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, the status of any alien
described in subsection (b) shall be adjusted by the Secretary
of Homeland Security to that of an alien lawfully admitted for
permanent residence, if the alien--
(A) applies for such adjustment before April 1,
2009;
(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
in paragraphs (4), (5), (6)(A), and (7)(A) of section
212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall not
apply.
(2) Relationship of application to certain orders.--An
alien present in the United States who has been ordered
excluded, deported, removed, or ordered to depart voluntarily
from the United States under any provision of the Immigration
and Nationality Act may, notwithstanding such order, apply for
adjustment of status under paragraph (1). Such an alien may not
be required, as a condition on submitting or granting such
application, to file a motion to reopen, reconsider, or vacate
such order. If the Secretary of Homeland Security grants the
application, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall cancel
the order. If the Secretary of Homeland Security 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
provided by subsection (a) shall apply to any alien who--
(1) is a national of Liberia; and
(2)(A) who was granted temporary protected status on or
after March 27, 1991; or
(B) was eligible to apply for temporary protected status on
or after March 27, 1991.
(c) Stay of Removal.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
provide by regulation for an alien subject to a final order of
deportation 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 Secretary
of Homeland Security 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 Secretary of Homeland Security has
rendered a final administrative determination to deny the
application.
(3) Work authorization.--The Secretary of Homeland Security
may authorize an alien who has applied for adjustment of status
under subsection (a) to engage in employment in the United
States during the pendency of such application and may provide
the alien with an ''employment authorized'' endorsement or
other appropriate document signifying authorization of
employment, except that if such application is pending for a
period exceeding 180 days, and has not been denied, the
Secretary of Homeland Security shall authorize such employment.
(d) Adjustment of Status for Spouses and Children.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding section 245(c) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, the status of an alien shall
be adjusted by the Secretary of Homeland Security to that of an
alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, if--
(A) the alien is a national of Liberia;
(B) the alien is the spouse, child, or unmarried
son or daughter, of an alien whose status is adjusted
to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent
residence under subsection (a), except that in the case
of such an unmarried son or daughter, the son or
daughter shall be required to establish that they have
been physically present in the United States for at
least 1 year and is physically present in the United
States on the date the application for such adjustment
is filed;
(C) the alien applies for such adjustment and is
physically present in the United States on the date the
application is filed; and
(D) the alien is otherwise eligible to receive an
immigration visa and is otherwise admissible to the
United States for permanent residence, except in
determining such admissibility the grounds for
exclusion specified in paragraphs (4), (5), (6)(A), and
(7)(A) of section 212(a) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act shall not apply.
(2) Proof of continuous presence.--For purposes of
establishing the period of continuous physical presence
referred to in paragraph (1)(B), an alien shall not be
considered to have failed to maintain continuous physical
presence by reason of an absence, or absences, from the United
States for any periods in aggregate not exceeding 180 days.
(e) Availability of Administrative Review.--The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall provide to applicants for adjustment of status
under subsection (a) the same right to, and procedures for,
administrative review as are provided to--
(1) applicants for adjustment of status under section 245
of the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
(2) aliens subject to removal proceedings under section 240
of such Act.
(f) Limitation on Judicial Review.--A determination by the
Secretary of Homeland Security as to whether the status of any alien
should be adjusted under this section is final and shall not be subject
to review by any court.
(g) No Offset in Number of Visas Available.--When an alien is
granted the status of having been lawfully admitted for permanent
residence pursuant to this section, the Secretary of State shall not be
required to reduce the number of immigrant visas authorized to be
issued under any provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(h) Application of Immigration and Nationality Act Provisions.--
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, the definitions
contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act shall apply in the
administration of this section. Nothing contained in this Act shall be
held to repeal, amend, alter, modify, effect, or restrict the powers,
duties, functions, or authority of the Secretary of Homeland Security
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.
