INS PUBLISHES RULE MOVING AUTHORITY FOR FARMWORKER PROGRAM TO DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
The INS has published the final rule that transfers primary adjudicative authority for the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program to the Department of Labor.  The rule will become effective on November 13, 2000.

The Department of Labor already handles most aspects of the H-2A program, with the INS only ensuring that the DOL has certified the type of job and the number of openings.  By consolidating authority over the program in the DOL, it is hoped that processing will improve. 

A new form will be created that combines INS form I-129 and the DOL form ETA-750.  The new form will be known as ETA-7079.  The DOL will also begin accepting INS forms that relate to extensions of stay and other post-entry issues.

The INS will retain limited involvement.  Program violations should be reported to the Nebraska Service Center.
