USCIS issues updated policy guidance
February 10, 2022
Updated policy guidance is being issued in its manual by USCIS to clarify how petitioners may demonstrate they qualify for an exemption from the temporary need requirement for a nonimmigrant visa petition for a temporary nonagricultural H-2B worker on Guam and in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) that falls under the FY 2021 National Defense Authorization Act. USCIS clarifies how petitioners may demonstrate that they qualify for the exemption based on contracts or subcontracts that are “supporting” or “adversely affected by” the military realignment on Guam and in the CNMI.
