U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has received enough petitions to reach the congressionally mandated cap on H-2B visas for temporary nonagricultural workers for the first half of fiscal year(FY) 2023.
However, in 2022 it was the final receipt date for new
cap-subject H-2B worker petitions requesting an employment start date before
2023. USCIS will reject new cap-subject H-2B petitions received after 2022 that
request an employment start date before 2023.
USCIS continues to accept H-2B petitions that are exempt
from the congressionally mandated cap. This includes petitions for:
· Current H-2B workers in the United States who
extend their stay, change employers, or change the terms and conditions of
their employment;
· Fish roe processors, fish roe technicians, and
supervisors of fish roe processing; and
· Workers performing labor or services in the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam from Nov.28,2009, Until Dec.
31,2029.
