Form I-129CW is necessary for an employer to petition for an alien to enter the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) temporarily to perform services or labor as a CNMI-Only nonimmigrant transition worker (CW). This form is also necessary for an employer to petition for an extension of stay or change of status for an alien as CW nonimmigrant. Form I-129CWR is necessary to verify the continuing employment and payment of such workers under the terms and conditions set forth in the CW-1 petition that the employer filed on the workers behalf. Pub. L. 115-218, sec. 3(a)(3)(C).
On Wednesday, July 29, 2020, DHS was enjoined by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from enforcing, applying, implementing, or treating as effective the Public Charge Final Rule, which was implemented on February 24, 2020, in the states of NY, CT, and VT. USCIS has been advised by the U.S. Department of Justice that the injunction covers the use of this information collection instrument approved with the Public Charge Final Rule. In light of the injunction, USCIS will need to revise this form’s instructions to provide guidance to filers from those states that they should not fill out the data elements added pursuant to the Public Charge Final Rule.
