This responds to Mr. Schmidts request of July 24. 1981. for our opinion regarding the constitutionality of H.R. 3517. particularly � 2(c)(2) & (3). H.R. 3517 would provide generally that certain persons who have been admitted to the Virgin Islands as nonimmigrant alien workers under � 101(a)(15)(H)(ii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) (H2 workers). may have their status adjusted to that of aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence. The bill. would. as will be explained. infra. restrict the ability of its beneficiaries to facilitate the immigration of some of their relatives under the preference provisions of � 203 of the Act. Your inquiry is addressed to the constitutionality of those restrictions. It is our conclusion that the courts would uphold the constitutionality of � 2(c)(2) & (3).
