So over a period of. I guess it would be 9 yearsduring that period the worker could be here up to 6 years. but there would have to be two periods of a year each during which the worker was outside the country. My amendment. which is cosponsored by Senator OBAMA. would remove the requirement that guest workers leave the United States before they renew their visas to work under this program. It would not modify the total period they could stay here. which would still be limited to 6 years. It would not change the terms of their visa. But the amendment I am offering would provide that guest workers would be given a 2year visa they could then renew twice and do their full 6 years of work and then their visa would no longer permit them to stay. Requiring these workers to leave the country for a lengthy period of time between each 2year work period is a problem for several reasons. It is bad for the employers. first.
