[ Abridged version ] Immigration policy is an issue that continues to challenge us. This resource offers a way to think about possible policy directions and the ramifications of each. Participants explore the four options presented, deliberate on the strengths and challenges of each, and then frame an “Option 5 “ that reflects their views. This material was developed for use in high school classes. Additional lesson plans and links to resources are available from the Choices Program at Brown University.
U.S. Immigration policies are changing, and businesses need to adjust to stay in compliance. Are you among the many local companies that rely on employment-based immigrant visas to hire foreign workers? Do you understand the proposed changes?

13. Immigration Law:

• The Immigration and Nationality Act provides
a yearly minimum of 140,000 employment-
based immigrant visas which are divided into
five preference categories. They may require a
labor certification from the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL), and the filing of a petition with
the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services (BCIS).

education, business, or athletics.
• Outstanding professors and researchers with at least three
years experience in teaching or research that are recognized
internationally.
• Certain executives and managers who have been employed
at least one of the three preceding years by the overseas

time jobs for U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens,
or other lawful immigrants, not including the investor

19. Immigration Law:
Marriage-Based Immigration
• The Immigration and Nationality Act provides U.S. citizens
with two options to bring future spouses to the United
States: the K-1 fiancé visa and the alien-spouse immigrant
visa.
– Marriage In the United States: Fiancé Visa
• U.S. citizens may file a petition for the issuance of a K-1 fiancé visa to
an alien fiancé. A citizen exercising this option must remain unmarried
until the arrival of the fiancé in the U.S., and the wedding must take
place within three months of the fiancé's arrival if he/she is to remain
in status. Also, the alien and U.S. citizen must have met personally at
least once in the two years before the petition was filed.
– Marriage Abroad: Alien-Spouse Visa
• If a U.S. citizen marries an alien abroad, a petition must be filed after
the marriage to begin the immigration process for the alien spouse.
This must generally be filed in the United States where the petitioner
U.S. spouse lives.
20. Immigration Law:
