The Philippines is reinstated to the H-2B Non-Immigrant Visa Program! DOI applauds this decision given the significant dependence that Guam and the CNMI have on foreign workers from the Philippines to supplement necessary and essential components of the workforce.

MLK Jr. made our country a more perfect union. His fight for equality and justice still inspires us as we continue to make progress and carry his work forward. It’s an honor to share his story through the different places that have been entrusted to us at Interior. #MLKDay
Proud to share our major accomplishments from 2017-2021 highlighting our work in island communities and countries around the world. We could not have done this without the support of the Administration, Secretary Bernhardt, and Congress.
