News: USCIS Publishes Federal Register Notices Announcing H-2A and H-2B Petitions Must Include Printed Copy of Electronic Final Determination Form

March 5, 2020

<h1> <div id=”ct-title”> USCIS Publishes Federal Register Notices Announcing H-2A and H-2B Petitions Must Include Printed Copy of Electronic Final Determination Form </div> </h1> <div id=”main-body”> <div> <div> <div> <p> On March 5, 2020, USCIS published two Federal Register notices regarding the submission of final determination forms with H-2A and H-2B petitions. The notices, one for <a href=”https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/03/06/2020-04667/dhss-requirement-of-the-temporary-labor-certification-final-determination-under-the-h-2a-temporary” > H-2A </a> and one for <a href=”https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/03/06/2020-04666/dhss-requirement-of-the-temporary-labor-certification-final-determination-under-the-h-2b-temporary” > H-2B </a> , announce that petitioners must submit a printed copy of the electronic final determination form granting temporary labor certification (TLC) under the H-2A or H-2B programs through the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) <a href=”https://flag.dol.gov/”> Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) system </a> with the corresponding H-2A or H-2B petition as evidence of an original valid or original approved TLC. </p> <p> <a href=”https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/h-2b-petitioners-must-include-temporary-labor-certification-final-determination-form-i-129″ > USCIS previously announced </a> the requirement on our website on July 26, 2019. Employers whose application for a TLC was processed in FLAG must include a printed copy of the electronic one-page Form ETA-9142B, Final Determination: H-2B Temporary Labor Certification Approval, with their <a href=”https://www.uscis.gov/i-129″> Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker </a> , H-2B petitions, and USCIS will consider this printed copy as an original and approved TLC. On Oct. 1, 2019, <a href=”https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/h-2a-petitioners-must-include-temporary-labor-certification-final-determination-form-i-129″ > USCIS announced </a> that the electronic one-page Form ETA-9142A, Final Determination: H-2A Temporary Labor Certification Approval, must be submitted with Form I-129 H-2A petitions. </p> <p> The publication of these Federal Register notices formally aligns USCIS procedures with DOL’s transition to the new <a href=”https://flag.dol.gov/announcements/01-24-2020″> FLAG </a> electronic filing and application process system, through which DOL no longer provides the employer or authorized attorney with a paper copy of a certified Form ETA-9142A or Form ETA-9142B. </p> <div id=”main”> <div id=”content”> <div id=”last-updated-date”> Last Reviewed/Updated: <time> 03/05/2020 </time> </div> </div> </div> <footer id=”footer”> <div> <div id=”block-wcm-node-feedback-wcm-node-feedback-form-block” > <fieldset id=”edit-wcm-node-feedback-form–2″> <div> <legend> </legend> </div> </fieldset> </div> </div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </div>
