A bipartisan group of U.S. senators urged the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor to release the maximum allowable number of additional H-2B visas for fiscal year 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The H-2B visa program allows employers to hire temporary nonagricultural workers to meet seasonal employment needs. The congressionally mandated cap on H-2B visas currently stands at 66,000 per fiscal year, split into 33,000 for the first and second halves of each fiscal year.
BAL Analysis: Because DHS has released additional H-2B visas in the past, a release within the next month is anticipated. BAL is monitoring the situation and will post updates accordingly.
