Title: Northern Mariana Islands U.S. Workforce Act of 2018 | |
Abstract:
H.R. 5956 modified the CW-1 visa program, which allows for the temporary employment of foreign workers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The bill was signed into law on July 24, 2018. The law requires employers to obtain a temporary labor certification from the Department of Labor (DOL) prior to requesting a visa from the Department of Homeland Security and requires DOL to establish statistical standards for prevailing wage rates. The bill also required DOL to publish an Interim Final Rule (IFR) to establish the regulatory framework for issuing a temporary labor certification for the CW-1 program within 180 days of the bill being enacted into law. On April 1, 2019, DOL published the IFR Labor Certification Process for Temporary Employment in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CW1 Workers) at 84 FR 12380. |
