USCIS Reopens the Public Comment Period on Proposed CNMI Transitional Worker Classification

Constrained by the court’s dictum, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the reopening and extension of the public comment period for the interim rule “Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Worker Classification” for additional 30 days until December 27, 2009. The rule was published in the Federal Registrar on October 27, 2009 and was supposed to be effective on November 27, 2009. However, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia stayed its implementation until Department of homeland Security (DHS) considers public comments and issues a final notice.
