Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Petition for a CNMI-Only Nonimmigrant
Transitional Worker.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: Form I–
129CW; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit.
USCIS uses the data collected on this
form to determine eligibility for the
requested immigration benefits. An
employer uses this form to petition
USCIS for an alien to temporarily enter
as a nonimmigrant into the CNMI to
perform services or labor as a CNMIOnly Transitional Worker (CW–1). An
employer also uses this form to request
an extension of stay or change of status
on behalf of the alien worker. The form
serves the purpose of standardizing
requests for these benefits, and ensuring
that the basic information required to
determine eligibility, is provided by the
petitioners.
USCIS collects biometrics from aliens
present in the CNMI at the time of
requesting initial grant of CW–1 status.
The information is used to verify the
alien’s identity, background information
and ultimately adjudicate their request
for CW–1 status.
The CW–1 classification is unique in
that Form I–129CW is a petition for the
CW–1 classification as well as a ‘‘grant
of status.’’ A ‘‘grant of status’’ allows
beneficiaries lawfully present in the
CNMI to change status directly from
their CNMI classification or DHS-issued
parole to the CW–1 classification. See 8
CFR 214.2(w)(1)(v). When a beneficiary
is granted CW–1 status, the adjudicating
officer is granting admission and status
to the beneficiary without requiring the
beneficiary to depart the CNMI, obtain
a visa abroad, and seek admission with
CBP. Because we are granting the CW–
1 status to the beneficiary, we use
biometrics to make a determination of
admissibility prior to adjudicating the
Form I–129CW petition. The checks are
used to confirm identity and ensure that
CW–1 status is not granted to anyone
who is inadmissible. As the CW
program progresses, the need to take
biometrics in most cases has
diminished, as the Form I–129CW is
increasingly used for extension of status
of persons who had already had their
biometrics taken at the initial grant stage
rather than for initial grants of status in

the CNMI, but the authority will
continue to be used in those initial grant
cases that do arise.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection Form I–129CW is 3,749 and
the estimated hour burden per response
is 3 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 11,247 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is $459,252.50.
