July 9, 2024. OFLC Publishes List of Randomized H-2B Applications Submitted July 3-5, 2024, for Employers Seeking H-2B Workers Starting October 1, 2024
To keep the public informed regarding the submission and assignment of H-2B applications for review, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) published the Assignment Groups for 2,158 H-2B applications covering 44,238 worker positions with a work start date of October 1, 2024. OFLC completed the randomization process on July 6, 2024 and assigned to National Processing Center analysts all H-2B applications placed in Assignment Group A for issuance of Notices of Deficiency or Acceptance. Group A includes enough worker positions to reach the H-2B semi-annual visa allotment of 33,000. One additional Assignment Group was created for the remaining applications and associated worker positions. Each filing was randomly given a unique number in accordance with OFLC's randomization process and placed into a group for assignment to analysts for review and processing.
On July 9, 2024, OFLC provided written notice to each employer (and the employer's authorized attorney or agent) informing them about the Assignment Group for their application(s).
