Before DUNIWAY, WRIGHT and KILKENNY, Circuit Judges.

DUNIWAY, Circuit Judge:

This case had its genesis in Guinto v. District Director, I&NS, C.D.Cal., 1969, 303 F.Supp. 1094, where the background facts are fully stated. In that case, Judge Hill, on July 11, 1969, remanded the matter to the Immigration and Naturalization Service for further proceedings. He held that the Attorney General (i. e., the Service) would be expected to determine whether Guinto was a member of the professions, eligible for third preference visa classification as a teacher under 8 U.S.C. § 1153(a) (3), and that the Secretary of Labor would be expected to determine whether to make the certification required by 8 U.

On February 12, 1970, the Department responded, saying:

"On the basis of the documents submitted the Department of Labor cannot make a finding that there are not sufficient workers in the United States who are available for employment as a teacher and that the alien\'s employment will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States similarly employed. Accordingly, the certification required under 212(a) (14) cannot be made. This denial is without prejudice to an application supported by a
