April 22, 2021
Department of Homeland Security announced that President Biden’s administration will set aside 6,000 seasonal guest worker visas for people from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in the coming months. The visas will be an addition to the annual quota of 66,000 visas for the fiscal year. These H2-B visas are typically used for landscaping, food processing and hotel work, and other seasonal jobs. A DHS official said that if the 6,000 visas are not used by companies looking to hire people from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, they will be put into the general visa pool before September 30th.
