The Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create an H-2C nonimmigrant visa category for workers in eligible occupations. Employers must register positions and meet recruitment requirements before hiring H-2C nonimmigrants. Employers face penalties for non-compliance and must ensure H-2C nonimmigrants are not treated as independent contractors. The Act also mandates an electronic monitoring system to track H-2C nonimmigrants' presence and employment.
