USCIS will begin accepting petitions for employment with start dates in fiscal year (FY) 2020 under the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)-Only Transitional Worker program (the CW-1 program) on April 4, 2019. However, all CW-1 filings for FY 2020 must include an approved temporary labor certification (TLC) from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). USCIS will reject any CW-1 petition with an employment start date on or after Oct. 1, 2019, filed without the approved DOL TLC.
Starting 05/20/19, USCIS will only accept the 01/31/19 edition. Until then, previous editions: 01/17/17, 12/23/16, 08/13/15, 03/26/15, and 10/23/14, can be used.
