On Friday, November 15th, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced they expect to add an extra 64,716 H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas for (FY) 2025. This addition will be added to the statutory cap of 66,000 H-2B visas allowed per fiscal year. DHS feels this will help U.S. businesses! Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas stated, “By maximizing the use of the H-2B visa program, the Department of Homeland Security is helping to ensure the labor needs of American businesses are met, keeping prices down for consumers while strengthening worker protections and deterring irregular migration to the United States.”
