Who is affected
What the document says may be required
The document states a requirement for those it covers. The exact obligation, and whether it applies to a particular person, depends on the document's own terms — the relevant passage is quoted below.
“…see also, e.g., 6 U.S.C. 202(3)-(4), 236(b), 271(a)(3), (b); 8 U.S.C. 1184. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Existing DHS regulations provide that an H-2A petition for temporary employment in the United States must be accompanied by a single valid temporary labor certification (TLC) from the U.S.”
