USCIS Guidance on L Visa in CNMI
December 17, 2009 – 6:46 am
The Acting Associate Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Donald Neufeld has issued field guidance regarding eligibility for L nonimmigrant status for certain aliens who have been employed in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) before the CNMI became subject to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) on November 28, 2009. The policies and procedures contained in Neufeld’s memo are only intended for the purposes of determining “employment abroad” as it relates to employment experience in the CNMI prior to the transition. All other provisions under 8 CFR 214.2(1) remain applicable.
Accordingly, the memo directs all USCIS officers to comply with the guidance. The Adjudicator’s Field Manual has also been updated by adding Chapter 36, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
