The H-2B Visa Cap for Second Half of FY 2024

The annual H-2B visa cap for returning workers in the second half of the fiscal year 2024 has been reached. This announcement was made by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), signaling an important development in the immigration sector.

The H-2B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S employers or U.S. agents who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs.

H-2B Cap for FY 2024 

USCIS has received enough petitions to meet the additional 19,000 H-2B visas that were made available for returning workers for the early second half of fiscal year (FY) 2024. The visas were open for workers with start dates from April 1 to May 14, 2024, under the H-2B supplemental cap temporary final rule (FY 2024 TFR).

Hence, the final receipt date for these petitions was April 17, 2024. This was the final opportunity for employers to request supplemental H-2B visas under the FY 2024 early second half returning worker allocation.
