(2) INVALIDITY OF CERTAIN PETITIONS AND  APPLICATIONS.—Excepted as provided in paragraph  (3), any petition under section 204 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1154) seeking  classification of an alien under a family-sponsored  immigrant category that was eliminated by the  amendments made by this section and filed after the  date on which this Act was introduced and any application for an immigrant visa based on such a petition shall be considered invalid.

It means whoever filed a petition before this bill is signed into the law is grandfathered in (they'll get a visa). No more petitions after the law is enacted.
