New Edition of Form I-129CW

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is publishing the new edition of its Form I-129CW, Petition for a CNMI-Only Nonimmigrant Worker, on June 18, 2020 [PDF version]. The new Form I-129CW is part of revisions to the CW1 nonimmigrant category in the interim final rule implementing the Northern Mariana Islands U.S. Workforce Act of 2018. We discussed the revisions in a separate post [see blog].

Starting on June 18, the USCIS will only accept the 06/18/20 edition of the Form I-129CW. This means that the USCIS will reject any older edition of the Form I-129CW postmarked on or after June 18, 2020.
