Supplemental H-2B Visas Aim to Match Labor Demands

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced late last year the release of more than 64,000 supplemental H-2B visas for fiscal year 2024 in an effort to match ever-increasing labor demands. Consistent with congressional authorization to add up to 64,716 H-2B visas under a discretionary annual cap based upon labor market needs, the additional H-2B visas will elevate the total to more than 130,000, including the regular annual limitation of 66,000.
