US H-2B Visa Cap Reached

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that the H-2B visa cap for the second half of fiscal year 2025 has been reached. This visa program, crucial for seasonal non-agricultural workers, is now closed to new applicants until the next application cycle. Employers in industries like hospitality, landscaping, and construction must explore alternative visa options or plan for future petitions. Those affected are advised to monitor USCIS updates for potential supplemental visa allocations or policy changes – fingerlakes1.com
