Xu, a partner in Bauman, Kondas & Xu, one of Guam\u2019s leading law firms in U.S. immigration and business law, will discuss how the current uncertainty of the E2C program for CNMI investors and the termination of H visa cap exemption serve as a stern warning that the Congress is determined to completely integrate CNMI into the U.S. immigration system.\u00a0 He will explore the U.S. immigration options for employees and families in the Commonwealth and examine the different categories of employment and family-based immigration as well as the various kinds of popular U.S. working visas available to the Commonwealth.”<\/p>\n
