A Report on the STATE OF THE ISLANDS Chapter 3: COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS 3.1 The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a self-governing Commonwealth of the United States. The people of the CNMI chose to join the United States in a 1975 act of self-determination and were granted U.S. citizenship in 1986. Pursuant to a locally-adopted constitution, they elect a Governor, bi-cameral legislature, and Washington Representative. The islands' status is based on the "Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States". The agreement was negotiated by representatives of the United States and the Northern Mariana Islands and signed on February 15, 1975. The Covenant was subsequently signed by the President on March 15, 1976, and approved by the Congress of the United States by joint resolution on March 24, 1976 (Public Law 94-241; 90 Stat. 263). The first constitutional government of the CNMI took office in January 1978. The Covenant was fully implemented on November 3, 1986, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 5564, which terminated the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands as it applied to the CNMI. Previous to its Commonwealth status, the CNMI was a member of the Trust Territory, which was created in 1947 by the United Nations. The United States was designated the administering authority of the Trust Territory under the terms of a trusteeship agreement.

Photograph in bottom right corner of collage courtesy of Tim Rock/Double Blue Images, timrock@doubleblue.com The National Register of Historic Places is pleased to promote awareness of and appreciation for the historical contributions of Asian and Pacific peoples in the United States and its associated territories. From the early 1800s to the late 20th century, Asian and Pacific peoples have played a vital role in the development of the United States and made lasting contributions in all elements of American society. The month of May is recognized as National Asian-Pacific Heritage Month. This year, as part of the celebration, we are showcasing the rich heritage of Micronesia by highlighting the islands' listed historic places. Join the National Register in commemorating just a few of the places where Asian and Pacific people have made history. Today, Guam remains a territory of the United States. In the 1970s, citizens of the old Trust Territory organized four new governments: the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the RMI, and the Republic of Palau. Of these, the Marianas are an American Commonwealth and the other three are in a unique relationship with the United States known as "Free Association."

[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 8, Volume 1] [Revised as of January 1, 2001] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 8CFR214.7] [Page 395-396] TITLE 8ALIENS AND NATIONALITY CHAPTER IIMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PART 214NONIMMIGRANT CLASSESTable of Contents Sec. 214.7 What is habitual residence in the territories and possessions of the United States and what are the consequences thereof? (a) Definitions. As used in this section, the term: (1) Compacts means the agreements of free association between the United States and the governments of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau, approved by Public Law 99-239 with respect to the governments of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia, and by Public Law 99-658, with respect to Palau. (2) Freely associated states (FAS) means the following parts of the former Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, namely, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. (3) Territories and possessions of the United States means all territories and possessions of the United States to which the Act applies, including those commonwealths of the United States that are not States. It does not include American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act does not apply to them. (4)(i) Habitual resident means a citizen of the FAS who has been admitted to a territory or possession of the United States (other than American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act is not applicable to them) pursuant to section 141(a) of the Compacts and who occupies in such territory or possession a habitual residence as that term is defined in section 461 of the Compacts, namely a place of general abode or a principal, actual dwelling place of a continuing or lasting nature. The term ``habitual resident'' does not apply to: (A) A person who has established a continuing residence in a territory or possession of the United States, but whose cumulative physical presence in the United States amounts to less than 365 days; or (B) A dependent of a resident representative described in section 152 of the Compacts; or (C) A person who entered the United States for the purpose of full- time studies as long as such person maintains that status. (ii) Since the term ``habitual'' resident requires that the person have entered the United States pursuant to section 141(a) of the Compacts, the term does not apply to FAS citizens whose presence in the territories or possessions is based on an authority other than section 141(a), such as: (A) Members of the Armed Forces of the United States described in 8 CFR Sec. 235.1(c); (B) Persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States; or (C) Persons having nonimmigrant status whose entry into the United States is based on provisions of the Compacts or the Act other than section 141(a) of the Compacts. (5) Dependent means a citizen of the FAS, as defined in section 141(a) of the Compacts, who: (i) Is a habitual resident; (ii) Resides with a principal habitual resident; (iii) Relies for financial support on that principal habitual resident; and (iv) Is either the parent, spouse, or unmarried child under the age of 21 of the principal habitual resident or the parent or child of the spouse of the principal habitual resident. (6) Principal habitual resident means a habitual resident with whom one or more dependents reside and on whom dependent(s) rely for financial support. (7) Self-supporting means: [[Page 396]] (i) Having a lawful occupation of a current and continuing nature that provides 40 hours of gainful employment each week. A part-time student attending an accredited college or institution of higher learning in a territory or possession of the United States receives for each college or graduate credit-hour of study a three-hour credit toward the 40-hour requirement; or (ii) If the person cannot meet the 40-hour employment requirement, having lawfully derived funds that meet or exceed 100 percent of the official poverty guidelines for Hawaii for a family unit of the appropriate size as published annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. (8) Receipt of unauthorized public benefits means the acceptance of public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation in violation of section 401 or 411 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, Public Law 104-193, 110 Stat. 2261, 2268, as amended by sections 5561 and 5565 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Public Law 105-33, 111 Stat. 638. 639. (b) Where do these rules regarding habitual residence apply? The rules in this section apply to habitual residents living in a territory or possession of the United States to which the Act applies. Those territories and possessions are at present Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the American Virgin Islands. These rules do not apply to habitual residents living in American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act does not extend to them. These rules are not applicable to habitual residents living in the fifty States or the District of Columbia. (c) When is an arriving FAS citizen presumed to be a habitual resident? (1) An arriving FAS citizen will be subject to the rebuttable presumption that he or she is a habitual resident if the Service has reason to believe that the arriving FAS citizen was previously admitted to the territory or possession more than one year ago; and (2) That the arriving FAS citizen either; (i) Failed to turn in his or her Form I-94 when he or she previously departed from the United States; or (ii) Failed to apply for a replacement Form I-94. (d) What rights do habitual residents have? Habitual residents have the right to enter, reside, study, and work in the United States, its territories or possessions, in nonimmigrant status without regard to the requirements of sections 212(a)(5)(A) and 212(a)(7)(A) and (B) of the Act. (e) What are the limitations on the rights of habitual residents? (1) A habitual resident who is not a dependent is subject to removal if he or she: (i) Is not and has not been self-supporting for a period exceeding 60 consecutive days for reasons other than a lawful strike or other labor dispute involving work stoppage; or (ii) Has received unauthorized public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation; or (iii) Is subject to removal pursuant to section 237 of the Act, or any other provision of the Act. (2) Any dependent is removable from a territory or possession of the United States if: (i) The principal habitual resident who financially supports him or her and with whom he or she resides, becomes subject to removal unless the dependent establishes that he or she has become a dependent of another habitual resident or becomes self-supporting; or (ii) The dependent, as an individual, receives unauthorized public benefits by fraud or willful misrepresentation; or (iii) The dependent, as an individual, is subject to removal pursuant to section 237 of the Act, or any other provision of the Act.
