USCIS Reaches H-2B Cap for First Half of FY 2027

USCIS has received enough H-2B petitions to reach the congressionally set cap for the first half of fiscal year 2027. This means no more H-2B visa petitions will be accepted for this period once the cap is officially met. Employers seeking temporary nonagricultural workers for the remainder of FY 2027's first half should have already submitted their petitions. H-2B visas are used for seasonal and temporary workers in industries like hospitality, landscaping, and construction.
