The guest speakers are:
• Walter Haith, field office director of the Guam/CNMI Citizenship and Immigration Services; and,
• Fred Ongcapin, adjudications officer, policy and regulation management for Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The event is free for paid Tinian Chamber of Commerce Members and $5 for non- members.
The Tinian Chamber of Commerce said its members are eager to hear from USCIS officials on several issues.
One critical issue is how USCIS intends to process approximately 2,000 applications from Tinian when there is no USCIS office expected to open on the island.
Other, critical policy issues are: status changes and immigration options for CNMI immediate relatives, policy considerations for foreign investors, a brief description of what the expected job categories for the CNMI only transitional worker program will be and what impact, if any will the prevailing vs. actual wage rates will have on importation of labor.
