Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Worker Classification: Reopening the Public Comment Period

View Comment

The rule does not specifically indicate how the status of persons in the Commonwealth with a CNMI work permit will be changed to an INA status. As these aliens have not been admitted after inspection by a U.S. immigration officer, they are not technically eligible to change their status under 8 CFR 248. I see no proposed 248 amendment, will these aliens need to depart the CNMI to consular process? If not, under what authority will DHS change their status? Shouldn't a final rule include an amendment to 8 CFR 248?
