USCIS Reaches CW-1 Cap for FY2018
USCIS announced that as of May 25, 2017, it has received a sufficient number of petitions to reach the maximum possible numerical limit (the “cap”) of workers who may be issued CNMI-Only Transitional Worker (CW-1) visas or otherwise provided with CW-1 status for FY2018. Although the FY2018 cap has not been set, it is required by statute to be less than the 12,998 workers set for FY2017. USCIS will issue subsequent guidance when the FY2018 cap is set and when it is able to announce the final receipt date.
