US | Cap Met for the Additional Returning Worker H-2B Visas for the Second Half of FY 2022

On May 16, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) announced an additional 35,000 H-2B nonagricultural worker visas. These visas are for US employers to fill positions with start dates on or after April 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022. 
In the first five business days of filing, USCIS received petitions for more beneficiaries than the additional 23,500 visas made available for H-2B returning workers. A computer-generated process randomly selected enough petitions to meet, but not exceed, the 23,500 returning worker allotment for FY 2022. USCIS will reject and return any cap-subject petitions and filing fees for H-2B returning workers received after May 25.

USCIS continues to accept petitions for H-2B nonimmigrant workers for the additional 11,500 visas allotted for nationals of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Haiti, regardless of whether they are returning workers.
