USCIS Reaches H-2B Cap for Second Half for FY2021
USCIS announced that it reached the congressionally mandated cap on H-2B visas for the second half of FY2021. The final receipt date for new cap-subject H-2B petitions requesting an employment start date before October 1, 2021 was February 12, 2021. USCIS will reject new cap-subject H-2B petitions received after February 12, 2021, that request an employment start date before October 1, 2021. USCIS continues to accept H-2B petitions that are exempt from the congressionally mandated cap.
