Guam Temporary Workforce Act

HR 3646, the Guam Temporary Workforce Act, requires employers in Guam seeking H-2B temporary foreign workers to first obtain a labor certification from the Governor of Guam before filing with U.S. immigration authorities. This certification must confirm that no U.S. workers are available for the position at fair wages and working conditions, and that the employer has a qualifying need (like seasonal or peak demand). The bill directly affects Guam-based employers hiring temporary foreign workers under the H-2B visa program. Approved Guam labor certifications are valid for one year and can only be invalidated for fraud or misconduct, streamlining the visa process for eligible employers.
