Special Agricultural Workers (SAW)
Aliens who performed labor in perishable agricultural commodities for a specified period of time and were admitted for temporary and
then permanent residence under a provision of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Up to 350,000 aliens who worked at
least 90 days in each of the 3 years preceding May 1, 1986 were eligible for Group I temporary resident status. Eligible aliens who
qualified under this requirement but applied after the 350,000 limit was met and aliens who performed labor in perishable agricultural
commodities for at least 90 days during the year ending May 1, 1986 were eligible for Group II temporary resident status. Adjustment
to permanent resident status is essentially automatic for both groups; however, aliens in Group I were eligible on December 1, 1989
and those in Group II were eligible one year later on December 1, 1990.
