I asked for the extension because of disruptions caused by the coronavirus and because the Commonwealth did not complete submission of its 2020 prevailing wage survey until September 10. Last year, I convinced USCIS to provide extra time because employers and the U.S. Labor Department were still adjusting to the new U.S. Workforce Act. The Act requires the Department certify U.S. workers are unavailable for a job before an employer may petition for a CW worker. The Workforce Act also protects U.S. workers' wages by specifying CW workers be paid at least the prevailing wage. Despite the Trump administration negative response to a blanket extension, the congressional office will continue to direct individual constituents to any information pertinent to helping them decide their next steps. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
