here is the portion of the bill that you are referring to, the waiver:



after reading this and doing a whole bunch of researching of all the appropriate sections, I found out that, it only waives requirements under 4(a)(1)(C)(i) and (ii) below I mention the portions and what may be waived.

from the sections found in 212(a) (here is link for you to read 212 of the INA: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/ht...2----000-.html

The requirements detailed under 4(a)(1)(C)((i) that everyone has to meet are paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (6)(E), (6)(G), (8 ), (10)(A), (10)(C), or (10)(D), therefore the secretary of homeland security may waive the following under (1), (4) and (6)(E), (6)(G):

(1) deals with health related information, just as long as you are not crazy and could be a risk for anyone including yourself or even property, have no transmittable diseases, have proof of vaccination, and not a drug abuser... then you will be fine under this portion.

(4) deals with being a public charge and they take into account health, age, family status, assets, resources and financial status, and education and skills. as well as something else that caught my eye because it also mentions family based petitions just ctrl + f the following in quotation marks to find it quickly in the above link " it cites the one particular law that which because it uses the word children makes several of us ineligible to be petition, however, I really don't see that helping the 30 over crowd.
(C) Family-sponsored immigrants ". This section also deals with certain employment based immigrants.

(6)
part E deals with smugglers

part G deals with student visa abusers.

so student visa abusers may find reason to file a waiver for humanitarian of family purposes

that takes care of 212(a), now for 237(a), it only states if you have a a ground for deportability under paragraph (1), and the DA only references (1)(E), and (1)(G)

237(a) is found in the following link ( http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/ht...7----000-.html )

(1)(E) deals with smuggling
(1)(G) deals with marriage fraud, so if you married and initially the marriage was determined to be fraudulent for the purposes of attaining documentation or failed or refused to fulfill the marital agreements is deportable.

It really does not make that much sense what would be waived, and it does not seem to affect the age of the applicant, unfortunately

Why don't they just add a clause to the Under 30 Bill that states that if you are between 30 and 35 and meet all the qualifications including the college requirement, you can also be covered? Also, I really think that Obama should extend 245i, it will help a lot of people even those that don't qualify for the DA under any of the previous versions of the Bills. He should sign both the DA if it passes and 245i extension, but that's just my opinion.

It really depends on the province you live in. Alberta has higher rent, but minimum wage jobs there are 10-12 dollars an hour. with an education in a field it's easy to make 40-60k a year.

Their economy is a lot better then America's and only getting better. If you go the West, i.e. British Columbia and Alberta are booming. Southern Ontario is doing great also. Canada is a fuel super power of the future. There is more oil in Alberta alone then all of the middle east.

It covers a variety of petitions including those filed by a USC or PR spouse, parent, sibling, grandparent/aunt/uncle (as long as you didn't age out I think) and also work related petitions (someone pls correct me if I'm wrong). Basically the 245i coverage will allow you to adjust your status in the US once your priority date becomes current/once there's a visa # available for you, without facing any ban, you just pay a $1000 fine.
