No.  Only a Member of Congress can file legislation. Seeking a private bill is known as the “remedy of 
last resort.”  When no other defense can be raised in Immigration Court, a non-citizen may seek assistance 
through the filing of private legislation.  The non-citizen must seek the assistance of a Member of the U.S. 
House of Representatives or U.S. Senate.  The private bill must name the individual on whose behalf the 
bill is being offered and the remedy that non-citizen is seeking.  The bill follows the rules of the 
applicable body in Congress.  Many private bills are filed but very few actually are signed into law.  The 
Immigration Court has not jurisdiction to consider a private bill and the non-citizen in removal 
proceedings will likely receive an order of removal even before a private bill is filed.  This is why it is 
known as the remedy of last resort.
