DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
8 CFR Parts 214, 215 and 274a
[CIS No. 2428–07; Docket No. USCIS–2007–
0055]
RIN 1615–AB65
Changes to Requirements Affecting H–
2A Nonimmigrants
AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland
Security is proposing amendments to its
regulations affecting temporary and
seasonal agricultural workers within the
H–2A nonimmigrant classification and
their U.S. employers. This rule proposes
to relax the current limitations on the
ability of U.S. employers to petition
unnamed agricultural workers to come
to the United States and include
multiple beneficiaries who are outside
the United States on one petition. The
rule proposes to revise the current
limitations on agricultural workers’
length of stay including: lengthening the
amount of time an agricultural worker
may remain in the United States after
his or her employment has ended and
shortening the time period that an
agricultural worker whose H–2A
nonimmigrant status has expired must
wait before he or she is eligible to obtain
H–2A nonimmigrant status again. This
rule also proposes to provide for
temporary employment authorization to
agricultural workers seeking an
extension of their H–2A nonimmigrant
status through a different U.S. employer,
provided that the employer is a
registered user of the E–Verify
employment eligibility verification
program.

16 March 2008 – Regional Innovations Grant Funds for Grant Writer
Background: The Guam Department of Labor continues to pursue the Regional
Innovations Grant (RIG) to assist in regional workforce development training and
education planning initiatives. On March 14, 2008, the Office of Insular Areas,
Department of Interior notified the Guam Department of Labor that the OIA is pursuing
the possibility of funding the grant writer for the RIG proposal. Although, the GDOL
technical team has been consistently meeting and developing the proposal, technical
assistance is needed in finalizing the regional components of the proposal. This would
be the first time that GDOL will be submitting a proposal that requires a regional
approach and given the complexity, it is been recommended that GDOL seek further
assistance through an experienced regional workforce development grant writer. An
official letter from the Governor of Guam to OIA-DOI requesting for funding to support
this effort.
