Title: Temporary Alien Workers Seeking Classification Under the Immigration and Nationality Act 
Abstract: This regulation implements provisions of the Immigration Act of 1990 (IMMACT), Pub. L. 101-649, relating to temporary alien workers seeking nonimmigrant classification and admission to the US under sections 101(a)(15)(H),(O), and (P) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). ^PINS Regulation No. 1653 proposes to bring the H, O, and P Classification regulations into conformity with the employer sanctions provisions of Section 274a of the Act. It precludes foreign employers from filing petitions for O and P nonimmigrant aliens. Prospective foreign employers seeking to utilize these classifications will be required to employ the services of an established US agent in order to file a petition for an O or P nonimmigrant. The rule also would amend the H nonimmigrant regulations by requiring foreign employers seeking to petition for H-2B nonimmigrants to also utilize the services of an established US agent.
