An attorney and business leader with diverse interests, Deanne Siemer is an elected life member of the American Law Institute and the administrative head of Goose Hill Farm. From 2006 to 2009, Deanne Siemer’s served as a hearing officer with the Department of Labor for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
During her tenure with the Department of Labor, the CNMI government issued more than 20,000 work permits for foreign workers through a newly passed umbrella program. Since November 28, 2009, foreign nationals have been eligible to work in the CNMI with a CW-1 visa. Although officials reserve the right to extend the CNMI program as necessary, it is currently slated to end on Dec. 31, 2029.
The CW-1 visa program is not intended for permanent immigrants to the CNMI. Rather, it is for CNMI-only transitional workers who intend to work in the commonwealth for a specific period of time. It specifically targets workers who cannot obtain work visas under other nonimmigrant categories.
