The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it plans to make nearly 65,000 additional H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas available for fiscal year (FY) 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The supplemental H-2B allotment will include 20,000 visas for workers from Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti or Honduras. The remaining 44,716 supplemental visas will be available to returning workers who received an H-2B visa or were otherwise granted H-2B status during one of the previous three fiscal years.
DHS stated that “the supplemental visa allocation will help address the need for seasonal and temporary workers in areas where too few U.S. workers are available, willing and qualified to do the temporary work and address the labor needs of American businesses.”
