        a State Department of Public Health, or its equivalent)'' after 
        ``interested United States Government agency''; and
            (2) by inserting after ``public interest'' the following: 
        ``except that in the case of a waiver requested by a State 
        Department of Public Health, or its equivalent the waiver shall 
        be subject to the requirements of section 214(k)''.
    (b) Restrictions on Waiver.--Section 214 of such Act (8 U.S.C.

a waiver of the two-year foreign residence requirement under section 
212(e) with respect to an alien described in clause (iii) of that 
section, the Attorney General shall not grant such waiver unless--
            ``(A) in the case of an alien who is otherwise 
        contractually obligated to return to a foreign country, the 
        government of such country furnishes the Director of the United 
        States Information Agency with a statement in writing that it 
        has no objection to such waiver;
            ``(B) the alien demonstrates a bona fide offer of full-time 
        employment at a health facility and agrees to begin employment 
        at such facility within 90 days of receiving such waiver and 
        agrees to continue to work in accordance with paragraph (2) at 
        the health care facility in which the alien is employed for a 
        total of not less than 3 years (unless the Attorney General 
        determines that extenuating circumstances such as the closure 
        of the facility or hardship to the alien would justify a lesser 
        period of time);
            ``(C) the alien agrees to practice medicine in accordance 
        with paragraph (2) for a total of not less than 3 years only in 
        the geographic area or areas which are designated by the 
        Secretary of Health and Human Services as having a shortage of 
        health care professionals; and
            ``(D) the grant of such waiver would not cause the number 
        of waivers allotted for that State for that fiscal year to 
        exceed twenty.

change the status of an alien that qualifies under this subsection and 
section 212(e) to that of an alien described in section 
101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b).
    ``(B) No person who has obtained a change of status under 
subparagraph (A) and who has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract 
with a health facility shall be eligible to apply for an immigrant 
visa, for permanent residence, or for any other change of nonimmigrant 
status until it is established that such person has resided and been 
physically present in the country of his nationality or his last 
residence for an aggregate of at least two years following departure 
from the United States.
    ``(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, the 
two-year foreign residence requirement under section 212(e) shall apply 
with respect to an alien described in clause (iii) of that section, who 
has not otherwise been accorded status under section 101(a)(27)(H), if 
at any time the alien practices medicine in an area other than an area 
described in paragraph (1)(C).''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply to aliens admitted to the United States under section 
101(a)(15)(J) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, or acquiring such

        time of sentencing against an alien whose criminal conviction 
        causes such alien to be deportable under section 241(a)(2)(A), 
        if such an order has been requested by the United States 
        Attorney with the concurrence of the Commissioner and if the 
        court chooses to exercise such jurisdiction.
            ``(2) Procedure.--

                has presented substantial evidence to establish prima 
                facie eligibility for relief from deportation under 
                this Act, the Commissioner shall provide the court with 
                a recommendation and report regarding the alien's 
                eligibility for relief. The court shall either grant or

                consider for the purposes of imposing an appropriate 
                sentence.

                the Attorney General demonstrates that the alien is 
                deportable under this Act.

        deportation.--

                of such order may be appealed by either party to the 
                court of appeals for the circuit in which the district 
                court is located.
                    ``(ii) Except as provided in clause (iii), such

                requirements described in section 106.  
                    ``(iii) Upon execution by the defendant of a valid 
                waiver of the right to appeal the conviction on which 
                the order of deportation is based, the expiration of 
                the period described in section 106(a)(1), or the final 
                dismissal of an appeal from such conviction, the order 
                of deportation shall become final and shall be executed 
                at the end of the prison term in accordance with the 
                terms of the order. If the conviction is reversed on 
                direct appeal, the order entered pursuant to this 
                section shall be void.
                    ``(B) As soon as is practicable after entry of a 
                judicial order of deportation, the Commissioner shall 
                provide the defendant with written notice of the order 
                of deportation, which shall designate the defendant's 
                country of choice for deportation and any alternate 
                country pursuant to section 243(a).
            ``(4) Denial of judicial order.--Denial without a decision 
        on the merits of a request for a judicial order of deportation 
        shall not preclude the Attorney General from initiating 
        deportation proceedings pursuant to section 242 upon the same 
        ground of deportability or upon any other ground of 
        deportability provided under section 241(a).''.
