Question #9: How do I as an RN on LULAC get a green card?

Carl Shusterman:  The problem with adjusting status to permanent residence for persons on LULAC, CSS and other late amnesty cases, is that unless the nurse qualifies for adjustment of status under section 245i, by virtue of having a priority date prior to January 15th, 1998, it is impossible to adjust status because, by definition, late amnesty filers
under LULAC have been illegal in the United States prior to January 1st, 1982.
