Τις υπηρεσίες Τσίπρα αναγνώρισε και ο Ομπάμα και στο εξής, από 16/01/2016, μπορούν οι Έλληνες πολίτες να εργάζονται στις ΗΠΑ με η χωρίς πρόσκληση εργοδότη.
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.

RIN 1601-ZA11
Identification of
Foreign Countries Whose Nationals Are Eligible
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.
