USCIS updates H-2B cap count
September 16, 2021
For the first half of FY2022, USCIS updated its H-2B cap count, stating that it has received 21,327 beneficiaries toward the 33,000 cap for the first half of FY2022, with 18,426 approved and 2,921 pending. The H-2B non-agricultural temporary worker program was created by Congress to allow U.S. employers to bring noncitizens to the U.S. to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. Only workers in the U.S. in H-2B status who extend their stay, change employers, or change the terms and conditions of employment will not be subject to the cap.
