    Hello.
    
    We are expecting law-changes in the near future here in Germany.
    German Goverment realized that it is not so good to loose all green card
    specialists after 5 years.
    And now, special immigration program will be implemented ( something like in
    Canada ).
    
    Let's wait and see. :)
