certified roll cage

Can a roll cage that is stick welded get certified?
I went to tech first time out with car,and tech guy said nothing about being stick welded just to add X brace to the 2 bars going through were back seat was .Then said to add a bar across between pillar bars. and last said to replace the swing out bar beside driver. I have purchased cm tubing to make him happy,I know they have to be tig welded.I have been told nhra won't pass a stick welded cage,is this true?
