Περιττεύει να πούμε ότι στην λίστα εκτός από τους Τούρκους μπορούν να εργάζονται και οι «Μακεδόνες» καθώς οι παραδοσιακοί μας σύμμαχοι φαίνεται ότι είναι «ανιστόρητοι» και όπως και οι άλλοι καλοί μας φίλοι, μεταξύ αυτών και οι Ρώσοι, αποκαλούν και αναγνώρισαν τους γείτονές μας με το όνομα ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ.

Όμως και εμείς ήρθε η ώρα να τους αποκαλέσουμε κάπως έτσι, πράγμα που περίτρανα διακήρυξε ο πρωθυπουργός, της πρώτης φοράς αριστεράς, από την Τουρκία, λέγοντας ότι πρέπει να βρεθεί λύση και για το θέμα της ονοματολογίας.

Δηλαδή ξεχάσαμε το Μακεδονικό και το …αλλάξαμε όνομα κάνοντάς το «πρόβλημα ονοματολογίας», κατά την συνήθη πρακτική του Τσίπρα (βλέπε τρόικα=θεσμοί).

Για να αντιμετωπιστεί το πρόβλημα της «ονοματολογίας» στήθηκε και ο Μέγας Αλέξανδρος στην πρωτεύουσα των συντρόφων μας Μακεδόνων στα Σκόπια.

Με ανυπομονησία λοιπόν περιμένουμε όλοι το νέο όνομα που θα δώσει ο Τσίπρας στην λέξη προδοσία.

to Participate in the H-2A and H-2B Nonimmigrant Worker Programs

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHS.

[[Page 72080]]

ACTION: Notice.

———————————————————————–

SUMMARY: Under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve petitions for

H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant status only for nationals of countries \1\

that the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the

Secretary of State, has designated by notice published in the Federal

Register. That notice must be renewed each year. This notice announces

that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the

Secretary of State, is identifying 84 countries whose nationals are

eligible to participate in the H-2A program and 83 countries whose

nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2B program for the

coming year.

—————————————————————————

    \1\ With respect to all references to «country» or

«countries» in this document, it should be noted that the Taiwan

Relations Act of 1979, Public Law 96-8, Section 4(b)(1), provides

that «[w]henever the laws of the United States refer or relate to

foreign countries, nations, states, governments, or similar

entities, such terms shall include and such laws shall apply with

respect to Taiwan.» 22 U.S.C. Sec.  3303(b)(1). Accordingly, all

references to «country» or «countries» in the regulations

governing whether nationals of a country are eligible for H-2

program participation, 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8 CFR

214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1), are read to include Taiwan. This is consistent

with the United States” one-China policy, under which the United

States has maintained unofficial relations with Taiwan since 1979.

DATES: Effective Date: This notice is effective January 18, 2016, and

—————————————————————————

shall be without effect at the end of one year after January 18, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy Simmons, Office of Policy,

Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528, (202) 447-4216.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background: Generally, USCIS may approve H-2A and H-2B petitions

for nationals of only those countries that the Secretary of Homeland

Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, has

designated as participating countries. Such designation must be

published as a notice in the Federal Register and expires after one

year. USCIS, however, may allow a national from a country not on the

list to be named as a beneficiary of an H-2A or H-2B petition based on

a determination that such participation is in the U.S. interest. See 8

CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F) and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(i)(E).

    In designating countries to include on the list, the Secretary of

Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, will

take into account factors including, but not limited to: (1) The

country’s cooperation with respect to issuance of travel documents for

citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of that country who are

subject to a final order of removal; (2) the number of final and

unexecuted orders of removal against citizens, subjects, nationals, and

residents of that country; (3) the number of orders of removal executed

against citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of that country;

and (4) such other factors as may serve the U.S. interest. See 8 CFR

214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1). Examples of

factors serving the U.S. interest that could result in the non-

inclusion of a country or the removal of a country from the list

include, but are not limited to, fraud, abuse, and non-compliance with

the terms and conditions of the H-2 programs by nationals of that

country.

    In December 2008, DHS published in the Federal Register two

notices, «Identification of Foreign Countries Whose Nationals Are

Eligible to Participate in the H-2A Visa Program,» and

«Identification of Foreign Countries Whose Nationals Are Eligible to

Participate in the H-2B Visa Program,» which designated 28 countries

whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B

programs. See 73 FR 77043 (Dec. 18, 2008); 73 FR 77729 (Dec. 19, 2008).

The notices ceased to have effect on January 17, 2010 and January 18,

2010, respectively. See 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(2) and 8 CFR

214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(3). In implementing these regulatory provisions, the

Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary

of State, has published a series of notices on a regular basis. See 75

FR 2879 (Jan. 19, 2010) (adding 11 countries); 76 FR 2915 (Jan. 18,

2011) (removing Indonesia and adding 15 countries); 77 FR 2558 (Jan.

18, 2012) (adding 5 countries); 78 FR 4154 (Jan. 18, 2013) (adding 1

country); 79 FR 3214 (Jan.17, 2014) (adding 4 countries); 79 FR 74735

(Dec. 16, 2014) (adding 5 countries).

    The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, with the

concurrence of the Secretary of State, that 67 countries previously

designated in the December 16, 2014 notice continue to meet the

standards identified in that notice for eligible countries and

therefore should remain designated as countries whose nationals are

eligible to participate in both the H-2A and H-2B programs. The

Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, however, with the

concurrence of the Secretary of State, that Moldova should no longer

continue to be designated as an eligible country to participate in the

H-2B program because Moldova is not meeting the standards set out in

the regulation for the H-2B program participation. See 8 CFR

214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1). Specifically, DHS and the Department of State

have found that there is a high occurrence of failure to comply with

the terms of the H-2B visa among H-2B visa holders from Moldova.

Moldova continues to meet the standards set out in the regulation in

regard to its participation in the H-2A program; therefore, this

determination does not affect participation of nationals of Moldova in

the H-2A program. Accordingly, Moldova remains on the list of eligible

countries for the H-2A program, but DHS has removed Moldova from the

list of eligible countries whose nationals are eligible to participate

in the H-2B program.

    Further, the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence

of the Secretary of State, has determined that it is now appropriate to

add 16 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-

2A and H-2B programs. This determination is made taking into account

the four regulatory factors identified above. The Secretary of Homeland

Security also considered other pertinent factors including, but not

limited to, evidence of past usage of the H-2A and H-2B programs by

nationals of the country to be added, as well as evidence relating to

the economic impact on particular U.S. industries or regions resulting

from the addition or continued non-inclusion of specific countries. In

consideration of all of the above, this notice designates for the first

time Andorra, Belgium, Brunei, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany,

Greece, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Singapore,

Taiwan, and Timor-Leste as countries whose nationals are eligible to

participate in the H-2A and H-2B programs.

Designation of Countries Whose Nationals Are Eligible to Participate in

the H-2A and H-2B Nonimmigrant Worker Programs

Pursuant to the authority provided to the Secretary of Homeland

Security under sections 214(a)(1), 215(a)(1), and 241 of the

Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(a)(1), 1185(a)(1), and

1231), I am designating, with the concurrence of the Secretary of

State, nationals from the following countries to be eligible to

participate in the H-2B nonimmigrant worker program:

Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark …Dominican Republic, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro….,Turkey, Tuvalu, Ukraine

United Kingdom, Uruguay, Vanuatu

    This notice does not affect the status of aliens who currently hold

valid H-2A or H-2B nonimmigrant status. Persons currently holding such

status, however, will be affected by this notice should they seek an

extension of stay in H-2 classification, or a change of status from one

H-2 status to another. Similarly, persons holding nonimmigrant status

other than H-2 status are not affected by this notice unless they seek

a change of status to H-2 status.

    Nothing in this notice limits the authority of the Secretary of

Homeland Security or his or her designee or any other federal agency to

invoke against any foreign country or its nationals any other remedy,

penalty, or enforcement action available by law.

Jeh Charles Johnson,

Secretary.
