SAN DIEGO IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM
Legal Issues
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL LEGAL SERVICES TO IMMIGRANTS
The Law Offices of McHenry & Associates is a San Diego based Immigration Law Firm dedicated to offering exceptional legal services in all matters related to U.S. Immigration Law. Immigration Law can be highly complex and is ever-changing. McHenry & Associates’ law practice is limited exclusively to U.S. Immigration Law in order to provide our clients with the most competent legal representation possible.
Why choose McHenry & Associates? The answer is our commitment, communication and competence.
Commitment: We care about what happens to our clients. We will not take your case unless we genuinely believe we can succeed in achieving your goals. We don’t believe in providing clients false hope for the sake of profit. For that reason, we do not accept every immigration case. If we can assist you, we will. If we cannot assist you we will also let you know or we may suggest other resources.
Communication: No matter how remarkable an attorney may be – or any other professional for that matter – it will not help you if you do not feel comfortable speaking to him or her. We believe that communication is the key to success. We pride ourselves on clear, straight-forward and effective communication. From your initial consultation to the completion of your case, your immigration attorney will ensure that you fully understand all aspects of your case.
Competence: Even the simplest immigration matters can have serious immigration consequences if handled improperly. Your decision in choosing an immigration lawyer is a crucial one. Since immigration law is so complex, it makes sense to choose a law firm that limits their practice to immigration law. Unfortunately, many clients are forced to hire immigration attorneys as a result of USCIS application failures, denials and other problems that occurred from clients trying to do it themselves. It is always best to consult a licensed attorney that specializes in immigration law before proceeding on your own with any immigration related matter.

USCIS Will Begin Accepting CW-1 Petitions for Fiscal Year 2019
On April 2, 2018, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting petitions under the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)-Only Transitional Worker (CW-1) program subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2019 cap. Employers in the CNMI use the CW-1 program to employ foreign workers who are ineligible for other nonimmigrant worker categories. The cap for CW-1 visas for FY 2019 is 4,999.
For the FY 2019 cap, USCIS encourages employers to file a petition for a CW-1 nonimmigrant worker up to six months in advance of the proposed start date of employment and as early as possible within that timeframe. USCIS will reject a petition if it is filed more than six months in advance. An extension petition may request a start date of Oct. 1, 2018, even if that worker’s current status will not expire by that date.
Since USCIS expects to receive more petitions than the number of CW-1 visas available for FY 2019, USCIS may conduct a lottery to randomly select petitions and associated beneficiaries so that the cap is not exceeded. The lottery would give employers the fairest opportunity to request workers, particularly with the possibility of mail delays from the CNMI.
USCIS will count the total number of beneficiaries in the petitions received after 10 business days to determine if a lottery is needed. If the cap is met after those initial 10 days, a lottery may still need to be conducted with only the petitions received on the last day before the cap was met. USCIS will announce when the cap is met and whether a lottery has been conducted.
