Despite all the bad news, such as reduction of legal immigration and elimination of some family categories, there are a few signs of relief. Both outstanding researchers/professors and national interest waivers were restored to the Bill. So professionals( scientists, post-docs, engineers etc.) can still apply for permanent residence without labor certification and sponsorship of their employers. On the other hand, for those who have to apply through labor cert, they are, as usual, still at the mercy of the Labor Dept. Any positive change is yet to be seen. Although waiver of labor certification and employer sponsorship is still obtainable for those who qualify, difficulties have been on the rise and more are expected. Nearly all four Service Centers have implemented some newly proposed requirements that make it very difficult to obtain an approval. According to administrative rules no law should be carried out until it is final. Despite the rules, INS is already treating the proposals like enforceable law. In the real world, things are not always the way they are supposed to be. This is even more so in immigration practice with today's anti-immigration fervor. I am an immigration attorney specializing in employment based immigration(1st and 2nd preference). I will hold seminars on how to apply for a green card without labor certification and sponsorship of the employer. The intended audiences of my seminar are professionals with advanced degrees or a bachelor degree plus five years of work experience. I will also cover the impact of HR 2202 on future immigration.
