DOL Alert: Most H-2B Forms Extended until December 31, 2018
DOL updated its website on December 14, 2015 to state:
All of the forms for the H-2B program, except the employer provided survey attestations (Form ETA-9165), have been extended for three years until December 31, 2018. The Form ETA-9165 is still being extended in monthly increments until receipt of a three year extension. However, if employers have already filled out and signed the forms with an expiration date of 12/31/2015 in anticipation of filing them in the first weeks of January, the Department will accept forms with the expiration date of 12/31/2015 through January 31, 2016. Also, as a reminder, the Form ETA-9155 and the registration process are not operational at this time. OFLC will announce the implementation of the registration process in the Federal Register and on this website.
October 30, 2015
DOL notifies the public that H-2B forms have been extended temporarily until 11/30/15 while OFLC awaits approval of its request for a three-year extension under review with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OFLC will extend the forms in one-month increments until approved by OMB.
