        U.S. Customs and Border Protection to complete more than 2 
        years of employment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection

        (2).
            (4) Exclusion of signing bonus from rate of pay.--A signing 
        bonus paid to a covered CBP employee under paragraph (1) shall

        CBP employee for any purpose.
            (5) Effective date and sunset.--This subsection shall take 
        effect on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall 
        remain in effect until the earlier of--

                (a) and (b) of section 1141.
    (c) Retention Incentives.--
            (1) In general.--To the extent necessary for U.S. Customs 
        and Border Protection to retain qualified employees, and to the 
        extent necessary to meet the requirements set forth in section 
        1141, the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary, may 
        pay a retention incentive to a covered CBP employee who has 
        been employed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection for a 
        period exceeding 2 consecutive years, and the Commissioner 
        determines that, in the absence of the retention incentive, the 
        covered CBP employee would likely--
                    (A) leave the Federal service; or
                    (B) transfer to, or be hired into, a different 
                position within the Department (other than another 
                position in CBP).
            (2) Written agreement.--The payment of a retention 
        incentive to a covered CBP employee under paragraph (1) is 
        contingent upon the covered CBP employee entering into a 
        written agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 
        complete more than 2 years of employment with U.S. Customs and 
        Border Protection beginning on the date on which the CBP 
        employee enters on duty and the agreement is signed. Such 
        agreement shall include--
                    (A) the amount of the retention incentive;
                    (B) the conditions under which the agreement may be 
                terminated before the required period of service is 
                completed and the effect of such termination;
                    (C) the length of the required service period; and

                retention incentive is payable, subject to the 
                requirements under this section.
            (3) Criteria.--When determining the amount of a retention 
        incentive payable to a covered CBP employee under paragraph

                experience of the covered CBP employee;
                    (B) the salaries for law enforcement officers in 
                other Federal agencies; and

                employee, including the costs of training a new 
                employee.
            (4) Amount of retention incentive.--A retention incentive 
        paid to a covered CBP employee under paragraph (1)--
                    (A) shall be approved by the Secretary and the 
                Commissioner;
                    (B) shall be stated as a percentage of the 
                employee's rate of basic pay for the service period 
                associated with the incentive; and
                    (C) may not exceed $25,000 for each year of the 
                written agreement.
            (5) Form of payment.--A retention incentive paid to a 
        covered CBP employee under paragraph (1) shall be paid as a 
        single payment at the end of the fiscal year in which the 
        covered CBP employee entered into an agreement under paragraph 
        (2), or in equal installments during the life of the service 
        agreement, as determined by the Commissioner.
            (6) Exclusion of retention incentive from rate of pay.--A 
        retention incentive paid to a covered CBP employee under 
        paragraph (1) shall not be considered part of the rate of basic 
        pay of the covered CBP employee for any purpose.
    (d) Pilot Program on Special Rates of Pay in Covered Areas.--
            (1) In general.--The Commissioner may establish a pilot 
        program to assess the feasibility and advisability of using 
        special rates of pay for covered CBP employees in covered 
        areas, as designated on the date of the enactment of this Act, 
        to help meet the requirements under section 1141.
            (2) Maximum amount.--The rate of basic pay of a covered CBP 
        employee paid a special rate of pay under the pilot program may 
        not exceed 125 percent of the otherwise applicable rate of 
        basic pay of the covered CBP employee.
            (3) Termination.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph

                is 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
                    (B) Extension.--If the Secretary determines that 
                the pilot program is performing satisfactorily and 
                there are metrics that prove its success in meeting the 
                requirements set forth in section 1141, the Secretary 
                may extend the pilot program until the date that is 4 
                years after the date of the enactment of this Act.
            (4) Report to congress.--Shortly after the termination of 
        the pilot program under paragraph (3), the Commissioner shall

best interest of cross-border trade and the agricultural community--
            (1) any lack of certified personnel for inspection purposes

        between agencies and departments of the United States, whether 
        in the form of a memorandum of understanding or through a 
        certification process, whereby additional existing agents are 
        authorized for additional hours to facilitate the crossing and 
        trade of perishable goods in a manner consistent with rules of 
        the Department of Agriculture; and
            (2) cross designation should be available for personnel who 
        will assist more than one agency or department at land ports of

        who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United 
        States or the status of any other alien having an approved 
        petition for classification as a VAWA self-petitioner may be

        prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent 
        residence if--

        category under which the alien is seeking permanent residence 
        is current as determined by the Secretary of State and 
        reflected in the Department of State's visa bulletin for the

        Secretary determines that a favorable exercise of discretion to 
        allow an alien to seek to adjust his or her status in the 
        United States rather than to obtain an immigrant visa outside 
        of the United States is not warranted, the Secretary, in the 
        Secretary's sole and unreviewable discretion, may--
                    ``(A) prohibit the alien from seeking an adjustment 
                of status under paragraph (1) while the alien is
