There is established a program, to be known as the Redemption Program , under which eligible applicants may acquire conditional redemption status, and shall be authorized to apply for lawful permanent residency under the immigration laws in accordance with section 24103. Such status shall be valid for a period of 5 years, and may be renewed any number of times. To be eligible to apply under the Redemption Program, an applicant shall be an alien who has successfully completed the Dignity Program under subtitle A.
In the case of an alien who is an eligible applicant granted conditional redemption status under this section, the alien— may not be removed or return the alien to the alien's country of nationality or, in the case of a person having no nationality, the country of the alien's last habitual residence; shall be authorized to engage in employment in the United States and be provided with appropriate endorsement of that authorization; and may be allowed to travel abroad. Conditional redemption status does not convey a right to remain permanently in the United States, and may be terminated if it is determined that the alien has violated any condition set forth under section 24102.
