USCIS issues a reminder of H-2B visa deadline for Northern Triangle countries.
June 30, 2021
USCIS issued a reminder that if, by July 8, 2021, fewer than 6,000 beneficiaries are requested by nationals of the Northern Triangle countries, the USCIS will make the unused visas available to employers, regardless of the beneficiary’s country of nationality, subject to the returning worker requirement. The agency says that it strongly encourages qualified U.S. employers to consider this supplemental H-2B allocation reserved for nationals of the Northern Triangle in filling positions for which they cannot find qualified and available U.S. workers. If the H-2B limit is not reached by July 8, USCIS will issue a notice by July 23 for additional applications.
