Summary
Notario Victim Relief Act
This bill eliminates the time limit for an alien to file a motion to reopen removal proceedings where the alien's motion seeks relief based on allegations of certain misdeeds by a representative or a person claiming to be a representative, specifically (1) fraud; (2) negligence; (3) misrepresentation; or (4) extortion by, or attempted, promised, or actual practice of law without authorization on the part of, such representative.
Currently, motions to reopen must be filed within 90 days of the entry of a final order of removal, with certain exceptions.
