Dear Department of Labor,
We had our prior ETA 790 purged from FLAG due to ongoing litigation with DOL and a corresponding injunction. We dont want to lose any more time on this application, so we are submitting the Job Order again and requesting Emergency processing. These employers urgently need their workers on 1/15/24 in order for their crop to not be adversely affected. This application is intended to replace H-300-24309-451804.
