»Employers-only sessions to review Form I-129CW
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) District Director David Guilick will host three sessions this week for EMPLOYERS ONLY to respond to questions about filing the Form I-129CW Application for CNMI-Only Transitional Worker.
The two-hour sessions will be held at the National Park Service’s American Memorial Park indoor auditorium in Garapan. They will begin at 10am on Nov. 14, 15, and 16. Seating is available for 110 employers on a first-come, first-served basis. The sessions will feature a review of the form and instructions, followed by a Question & Answer period about the Form I-129CW.
Gulick will host these sessions in response to the many questions USCIS has received about Form I-129CW. The sessions are designed only to discuss Form I-129CW with employers to help them better understand what the form is asking for, so that they file petitions by Nov. 27 for workers who need to continue working when the transition period ends and current authorizations, such as umbrella permits, expire. There will be no opportunity to discuss other topics during these forums.
Gulick will explain the form and provide examples of the kinds of evidence that can be submitted with a petition. However, he will not provide legal advice of any kind. This means he will explain what the form is asking for; he will not tell employers what to write in the blanks on the form.
Only employers are permitted to attend these sessions. USCIS will hold public session via web conferencing, so check for announcements.
