The United Workers Movement, NMI is requesting for a meeting with visiting U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials, said the group’s president, Rabby Syed.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Assistant Commissioner for Office of Field Operations Thomas Winkowski and other Homeland Security officials were scheduled to arrive here last night.
Syed said some of the FAS citizens and their spouses have been married for up to 15 years and it is estimated that 300 FAS citizens have married foreign spouses in the CNMI.
Under the federalization law, these spouses and IRs of U.S. citizens will lose their current CNMI immigration status.
Syed said they will ask the Homeland Security officials to help these nonresidents.
